This is my first year prospecting and it was lots of fun. I decided to pan my bigger gravels to get rid of them and everytime I got towards the bottom I found a few of these mettalic looking rocks. They would be at the bottom where the gold would be or close to it. They seem to reflect light real good and I can't figure out what they are. Also the big rock in my hand I had pulled of the front of my dredge and wasnt to sure what it was. It almost looks like it has a clear coat on it. None of them respond to my garret pinpointer(not sure if they are to small for this). Not sure if its worth keeping.
