My niece came into the house with this rock and ask me what i was . she said it was shinnng in the sun. i told her it was just gold . I said where did you find it she said in your drive way . My drive way is 40x 40( plenty of room to park)
All the gravel is about the size of dime and their is thousand that size. The funny part is i just bought a dredge to hit the creeks and never used it yet any suggestions?
The next week i was out feeding the horse and looked down and laying on top of the ground was a mini ball wow talk about luck. i do have a metal detector about 20 yr. old a x-80. i have found mini , butt plates, & arrow heads in my yard before without a metal detector but never gold. oh yea i do live next to resaca battle field

If you probe a small gold flake or nugget with a needle it will normally bend or produce a hole, if do the same to pyrite it will flake or crack. That's an easy way to tell.

Well the verdic is in on the rocks checking it with a new white dfx, after crushing & double panning & letting someone check it out pyrite 87% , 13% gold. on a average. the rocks having more quarts in it seam it have the most consetrate of gold. lot of the pyrite seam to dissapear after crushing
but we have had fun with it . if gold was about 4000.00 an ounce i might make wages if i crush the rocks here . thank for the replys here
