[QUOTE="jethro, post: 599189, member: 1297"] With the weather cooling off a bit on Wednesday it was time to head up into the Hills and do a bit of Hard Rock sampling. The Picture below shows a small Lode of broken slate and what looks like Feldspar as well as some clay, its about 4ft below the natural surface level in the side of a cut the old timers put in which is about 4metres deep. It is carrying very fine gold. There is little if any quartz in it and it is much softer than the schist on either side of it. I thought Id post it up just to show that you dont want to confine your searches to quartz veins.[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1297/1615604703_20210311_104424_2_li_small.jpg[/img] Ive taken about 15kg of this material to crush and concentrate. If it shows promise Ill try and push a Wheel barrow up to the cut so I can get out a couple of hundred Kgs for a decent test. :cool: [/QUOTE]
