Thanks .Didn't I do that in post 32 ,w/pix ?

Maybe so, I did not look closely.
if you are going to purchase glassware for this operation, may I recommend buying a pychnometer, it is specifically used for the purpose you are proposing. I do not seem to be spelling it correctly, I will add a photo

Leave it right in the jar until someone else can ID it... for I have read along and have no clue from here.

IF it was here I would run a battery of tests... but. heh.

I was gonna ask RTR... what metals are "known" to surface in the area historically other than gold ? ? ?

Well, in that area, there are Many gold & silver mines going back to before the civil war.But I've never see silver that is white.And I DO know what gold from that area looks like

Sorta looks like Platinum to me.. but ? ? ?

 

[RTR]

Just took this(unedited) pix. for comparison. Silver is Silver,these things are white

Could be.Other possibilities could be Palladium & Rhodium

 

[ARC]

RTR... check out Rhodium.

Man o man... if you found a spot to collect it... arrrg.

At almost 30k an ounce my friend you would be sitting pretty.

Here ya go...It took quite a bit of force to eventually bend this little piece.And a lot more force to break it into 2 pieces . And Inside looks the same as the outside,white.
