[QUOTE="Katabatic, post: 578782, member: 19153"] (This posting copied over from the Gold Detector section on Deepseekers advice....apologies for duplication) Ran the Nox800 over some old diggings the other day.......quite a few hot rocks, which I threw in the bag for the Dolly. When i got home, scrubbed up a rather unusual looking one....and it's got me stumped. It's about 14 X 10 X 5 mm, and weighs 2.1gm.....the yellowish tinge caught my eye, which is why it went in the tub for a scrub. It appears to be a real mixture of stuff, with some obvious crystals embedded, ranging from almost clear through to red and black. My detectoring mate reckons it's part of a meteorite.......wouldn't discount that. Don't know what the yellowish coating is.....guess I can live in hope :) Would appreciate any opinions.
