Redz Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Nice copper mineralization. Hard to tell from picture but could be polymetallic with lead, silver, maybe a little gold 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/21647-identification-required/#findComment-231416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Catcher Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Copper salt for sure, likely Malachite (copper carbonate hydroxide). The brown rock is limonite (iron oxide hydroxides). Copper salt mixed with limonite is a good indicator for gold. Keep digging!

Aureous Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 As mentioned above, copper mineralization. Malachite and/or Chrysocolla and a few specks of Azurite. As GC says, the iron oxide associated with Copper is often an indicator for associated gold mineralization. Take a few kilo samples and have it assayed. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/21647-identification-required/#findComment-231422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Idaho Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I'd be crushing some of that reddish material below the blue. Might be a "skarn" and could hold gold.

RONS DETECTORS MINELAB Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 The bullfrog mine in the sierra's had native visible gold in malachite, so it is always possible. Gold is where you find it! 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/21647-identification-required/#findComment-231480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Idaho Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 You might watch this video from Jeff Williams. He talks about chrysicolla and skarns, and gold. The stuff he shows looks just like yours. Jim Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/21647-identification-required/#findComment-231533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
