Popular Post Lead Detector Posted March 16 Popular Post Share Posted March 16 I'd like to expose more gold, but not sure I want to crush it. Any suggestions? Update... Just did a specific gravity test. Came out to 7 grams exactly. Not bad for my 2nd piece of the year, and 3rd piece ever . 14 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27987-not-sure-i-want-to-crush-this-one/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenson Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Personally I'd leave it the way it is. It will display nice on a shelf. 5 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27987-not-sure-i-want-to-crush-this-one/#findComment-293472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
geof_junk Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I like the quartz crystal structure near the gold. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27987-not-sure-i-want-to-crush-this-one/#findComment-293476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flakmagnet Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 It's a beauty and very instructional. A tough choice to crush it for sure. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27987-not-sure-i-want-to-crush-this-one/#findComment-293482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Would it be possible to dip it part ways in acid ? Chuck ps maybe use a glass eye dropper. That way you could just put the acid where you wanted. Do be careful whatever you do it’s unforgiving. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27987-not-sure-i-want-to-crush-this-one/#findComment-293484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McCulloch Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Nice specimen. What I recommend is to soak it, overnight, fully submerged, in CLASSIC COKE. Not diet coke, CLASSIC. Then, after rinsing it thoroughly with water, use a rough towel to dry and polish. 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27987-not-sure-i-want-to-crush-this-one/#findComment-293491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootscrape Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 That's a nice, unusual speccie, looks like a golden scorpion in the quartz jaws of a great white shark. I've got a weird imagination, haha. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27987-not-sure-i-want-to-crush-this-one/#findComment-293493 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootscrape Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I soaked this one in Alibrite for a couple of days to get rid of most of the ironstone stains and to whiten up the quartz. 5 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27987-not-sure-i-want-to-crush-this-one/#findComment-293499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
