Gold Plated Rock


Recommended Posts


Very nice find, it must have been as thin as flour gold or a rubbing.

When panning I have found some of the flour gold won't give a signal unless there is a concentration of it in the pan.

Gold is gold so keep it.

Good luck on your next outing.

 OK. since nobody else will explain your strange gold specimen, I guess I'll have to do it.

It appears to me to be gold formed hydro thermally in a cryogenic non conformity of porphyry in a dot matrics and deposited sometime in the late Precambrian or early Truman administration and  commonly known as a rarity yet quite frequently found with Minelab GPX6000 detectors set at 12 degrees before top dead center. 

 I hope you enjoyed finding it as much as I enjoy making a fool of myself.
