They may have of dozed the flat for a coring rig. If there’s a rock shop near you could pick up a test kit: “placing a drop of dilute (5% to 10%) hydrochloric acid on a rock or mineral and watching for bubbles of carbon dioxide gas to be released. The bubbles signal the presence of carbonate minerals (limestone & dolomite).” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get yourself copies of the following books. You may be a rich man but just haven’t discovered it yet. “Roadside Geology of Nevada”. The book has sections on NV 227 Elko out Lamoille Canyon, NV 225 Elko up to the Idaho Border, NV 378 Carlin to Eureka and my favorite Pahrump Road. The intro to Nevada covers basic Nevada geology, rocks, minerals and mining. Only $26 on Amazon. Jim Straight’s “Advanced Prospecting & Detecting for Hardrock Gold” covers the types of hydrothermal ore deposits, “supergene enrichment”, hydrothermal alteration, meteorites, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldseeker5000 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Clay diggins, I am happy to hear you talking about mass wasting and the importance and relationship to gold deposits. Everything I do with detecting for gold revolves around mass wasting and utilizing this natural event to put myself onto gold deposits. My book has a chapter on mass wasting and my next book will also be heavily involved with mass wasting. It is a major concept and truth for every gold nugget hunter to learn. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardPack Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 42 minutes ago, Goldseeker5000 said: gold revolves around mass wasting I agree. Traced up from a stream bottom only to find the larger gold located on false bedrock five feet above the actual bedrock and 25 feet above the stream channel. Looking upslope to the north across the stream channel you could see where the hillside slumped (escarpment) then slid down damming the stream. The stream eventually cut through the blockage leaving the gold perched on the bench. The hills were probably closer to the subtropics when this mass wasting event occurred and it took me just about as long to figure it out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
