[QUOTE="22shells, post: 381215, member: 3817"] Well at least you got some gold, would have been worse if you didn't. Quartz can be razor sharp. About a month ago I was looking for crystals, chipping quartz with my pick and scraping it out from a meter below ground with my hands. Sliced a finger pretty bad, not as bad as yours though. Bled a bit but luckily I had band aids in my pack. Taped it up then remembered I also had gloves in my pack too. So I put on the gloves, one finger had a hole in the end where it was worn through and sure enough, it didn't take long and I sliced another one right where the hole in the gloves was. Very sharp stuff after you've smashed it with a pick! [/QUOTE]
