I was wondering if anyone else had any gold video bloopers or stories they are up for sharing.. This happened to me and my brother out scouting a new place..We packed a simple sniping kit as we were supposed to be checking for new paths to get to more remote places... We stopped in the area for a break and did some sampling and to eat lunch.. I remberer my brother indicating that he saw a promising crack and pointed it out I told him that the water was to close and it fractured wrong and we had no method at that moment to recover gold out of water properly.. He did not listen And how sad to see the majority eventualy get washed down in the wakes of the river..And if that aint enough we used a rock.. anyway not one of our best moments in prospecting but at least we got some of it...And learned to be a little more Patient..



most of that sparkly crap was gold I am sad too say..

oh yea its tobbacco I role my own thankyou!!

Yeah... I roll my own too Marshall. Saves on the taxes I have to give the man for my little vice. I remember when I could afford regular smokes but I've been rolling for so long now that I'd rather have them than commercial cigs.

Where I do my panning/ sluicing I'm findin some big pieces of quartz. Some as big as a football to softball size. I'm wondering if I should smash them up to see if there is any gold in them? I live in ohio so its not like they are from a quartz vein, but who knows there maybe something in them right?

Oh and if these are your neighbors landscaping rocks be sure to take them at night. It lessens the chances of being caught.

Lol! Good call on the detector. Never would have thought of that.

If it is mostly just pure white quartz and not very heavy, in my experience there isn't much likeliehood of gold in it. Where I live and have lived, I generally look for things like red and black staining and streaks in the quartz. That's caused by iron. If the quartz has that in it then there is some chance it has gold in it too possibly. However I have seen just plain quartz with a vein of gold in displays before too. So maybe where you live the iron isn't a necessary indicator.

Use a jewelers loupe and examine it carefully looking for very tiny specks of gold. Even if it is tiny, the value in a rock can add up quickly but would need to be crushed to get out of it. Another way I check quartz is just to feel how heavy it seems for its size. Quartz is fairly light. 2.8gm/cu cm. So if a piece seems extra heavy for its size it might just have some gold in it.

If you break it up and pan it out (smash it up powder fine), and DON'T forget the safety glasses! Quartz is essentially glass and has very sharp shards. Get one stuck in your eye, you're not gonna be very happy ... Watch out for pets and children nearby when you smash it up too (that is if you smash it and it's not confined in something.) I have seen several cheap easy rock crushers made from a piece of iron pipe and and end cap and a smaller diameter pipe and cap to drive down inside the larger one to smash up the rock bits. Gets rid of the flying bits of rock.

Good luck.
