I tripped over a piece of quartz yesterday near the barn that looked interesting. A quick trip through the jaw crusher and washed on stacked classifier screens then panned the fines. I still have all of the crush to run in the chain mill, but the washed super fines have gold. The micro fines produced a line of gold and dust across the pan. I wanted to use the chain mill on the rest of the crush but worn screen and a bolt need repair. But this makes my day even with the small amount of color showing a real short walk and some basics.

Repairing the chain mill today bolts loose and worn screen it has a hole worn through. Quick fix with what I had on hand now I can finish my crush from my last post. when I removed the damaged parts look what was hiding under the screen. Maybe enough to pay for new parts lol.
