Ropes and buckets up to the top and about 10m to my vehicle lolDykeHead said:Looks good! You need a rock crusher and crush 20kgs. Stone like that can easy go 1oz to the tonne. Do you have to haul it far to your vehicle?
250kg...$100 on eBayDykeHead said:Too easy! Get an automatic hoist and have it dump in a trailer.
I think your only meant to take 20kg per day with a miners right though.
First sample this morning seems to have answered your question.Jeff said:Heya 20xwater
Some nice looking mineralisation there....thats enough to get my attention.
Best thing is to dolly it up- of corse anything encased will be revealed but also anything really small will be flattened and much more visible. Then just look for the slower to move particles if your colourblind.
Was the visible gold- definitely not chalcopyrite or pyrite?
Bingo, didn't even think of that, the bolster I'm using is contaminating the samples, don't know what sort of metal it is but now you ask it does scratch a brassy colour...FFS I can be a unit sometimes ?DykeHead said:What is that? Is it magnetic? If not heat it up a little bit outdoors (don't breath fumes) and see if it becomes magnetic.
I'm not sure what that is from the photo.some type of sulfides. Some could be metal from what your crushing it with?
True, my fall back is that I did say I might learn a thing or two at the start of the thread lolDykeHead said:There's always something new to learn. A magnet should get it but it won't get any stainless particles.
