[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 653264, member: 147"] Been waiting for just this kind of reply Goldie...I'm giving advice from personal experience and directing it towards newcomers who are starting out and are not into complex geological terms to confuse them with "what else can be found" within quarts "blow outs". I have hundreds of gold species within "pure white " quartz and "Yes", It does occur microscopically within "Some" of the thin dark layers, but for the purpose of "detectable gold", you are wasting a lot of time on this type of quartz if that's all you are following. There is hundreds of quartz blow outs within both gold and non gold fields. An extremely small amount of surface quartz has "Visible" gold in it beneficial to the detector operator and this is what we are chasing. I could easily just "cut and paste", with pictures and technical information as many do, but that would not be what I'm trying to get across to the operators I'm directing this thread at. I prefer to use the "KISS" principal, and leave the technical side to the reader who wants to expand his "Technical" knowledge by doing their own research. I'm not trying to give a "Geological" lesson in this thread, but advice on how best to "detect reef gold"..... Cheers Wal. [/QUOTE]
