geof_junk Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Some gold in Quartz. 16+ Oz in big one 4+ in middle one, gold yielded. Noted quartz is over 7 times larger. That should show the different Quartz. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Regarding your last photo, Geof, if it weren't for the sparse scraggly vegetation I would have figured this was a photo from the Mars Rover. (And Mars might have more water, too.) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should show the different Quartz. Those quartz pieces have some nice discoloration from mineralization, especially where the gold specks are. They are not like the pure white bull quartz I’ve seen in some areas around the prospects and shafts I’ve visited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorius Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 Today I visited the neighboring mountain (closer to the car) with a metal detector. My goal was to find a place for a thorough search. Visually examined the narrow creek, there were cobblestones with quartz veins, but did not find the place where they lived. How promising is quartz?

Victorius Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 I upgraded my metal detector from AT Gold to Nokta Legend, while I'm waiting for warm weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Quartz by itself is one of the most common rocks on the planet and means nothing at all by itself. All it means is you found quartz. I have never seen so much quartz in my life as I saw wandering around Australia, but 99.9% of it is worthless. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Smith Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 The gold in the river may have travelled many kilometers from its source. Like others have said quartz is very common and rarely contains gold. Are there any known gold mines in the area? Focus your efforts where the old timers proved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by the appearance of the quartz, you, as an experienced seeker, will be able to distinguish gold-bearing quartz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
