[QUOTE="RottenRon, post: 54075, member: 174"] Too true Ten. I'll make this the last of my suggestions. Since the "oily" slick seems to appear on Tannin stained water, I ask myself, how come is it then, that not all tannin stained water has the slick. I have a theory for what it's worth. Green foliage hanging or falling in the water accounts for the Tannin and probably the oil slick, since the leaves haven't dried out, and are still full of natural oils. Dry foliage, like the stuff that falls off trees etc in a dry spell, like we have now, might fall or blow into the waterways, but not result in a "slick" since all the oils have dried up Ok, now if only tannin stained rocks, water and oily slicks were an indicator of gold bearing ground, water? mmmm, interesting. Cheers, Ron. [/QUOTE]
