*shrugs* Yep give it a bash.  Breaks up into fine bits Pyrite.  Smashes out... well gotta see the pictures.  Try to use smooth surfaces, both the hammer and the anvil.  Do it in a deep pan *or pot* to catch any flyers. *grin*

Thank you very much for this tip , I can now grab our little flat bits of gold, i was grindiing it down to dust, then finding it hard to seperate from the blacks 

im guessing trip this down the sink to? 

I'm confused lol are you talking about this qartz 

No worries just looking at this mine hasn't got on where near that thickness of this and weighs a kilo more how does work?

Thanks for comments,  I never said it was gold, I thought may have had copper in it

This to looool and yes they are real none pulled off the net. Personal collection :P. If your still so unsure you can check melt point and or run it under a detector

Thanks, na not me, I've just started melting little gold button out of crushed Quartz that i was told had no gold lol 

Last rock id I promise 

I though it's look similar to this 

10x Zoom  

Only my wedding ring, I did have a very old gold detector but its broken, in Australia no one want to help anyone with gold, and no one has access to mercury or any acids stong enough to kill an ant,  

Looks nice I'm am still unsure about this one it weighs 86ounces 

Thank you all very much for the great advice. :)

this did look like yours before I panned it, it's very hard to wash out of pan and lose about 1/4 of panned stuff left about I drop a super earth magnet in there, any ideas

Dude, do well in your own topic.  Not seeing anything but mica or maybe pyrite. Gold shows in the bottom like chickenminer demonstrates.   Everything in that picture is wrong. Just being truthful.  Your original specimen showed no outwards indications of gold~ what I consider ironstone with massive quartz.  You dolly'd it. Good. However alot of us have ran such species for naught and that is naught that I can see.  Keep at it though.  My thoughts.

if that an't gold I quit 

Mica?? Why won't it wash out of the pan, the super earth magnet takes about 1/4 of what's lift after panning, any ideas??

This from two bits about the same size as that one, I can't see any gold until I crush it to powder and pan it

Quartz rich in gold

I can't see any gold until I crush it up and put it through a sieve 

There would only be a hand full of people in town that would get there hands dirty, and crush quarts, this is from one fist size bit of quarts
