Not Gold, But It Sure Was Loud


Recommended Posts

I've been exploring new areas around Yuma. Got way out there today and hit these guys. Obviously some kind of copper ore, but Yuma isn't known for copper production. I quit digging after six of them. They blow your ears away with the SDC, it could detect them easily at 18 inches, I didn't want to dig any deeper than that. They run from 4 to 6 ozt. Maybe they can be cut and polished, or maybe they cure arthritis, put one in each shoe and walk around all day.
Hey Reno Chris, these are from out near Redcloud Mine, should I keep looking for gold near these rocks.

I would say not really. In some places cuprite is found with placer gold, in lots of other places no. It certainly is not some magic gold indicator. Yours look rounded like they have been rolled around in a stream for some distance. Its common in some copper mines.
