[QUOTE="dwt, post: 222269, member: 428"] Best of luck to you HTY, sounds like you have your work cut out for you mate. Personally, I wouldn't be to quick to dismiss "less than 10 pieces in the pan" (gold) and other valuable minerals cAn tend to be formed in and hour glass shape, horizontally, and vertically, and go from a reasonably wide ore body to a narrow ore body in a mere few meters, so a sample from the surface that's showing a few specs in the pan might show real weight a few meters down, and can also be the opposite, I have also seen some "pinch out points" last for a good 20-30 meters (underground) There was (still is) available a hand held core drill, I was looking into one quite awhile ago, from memory it is called The Shaw Drill but I can't be to sure, basically a mini handheld diamond drill rig, from the YouTube clip it looked awesome and there was a prospecting store in WA selling them running between $5-$6,500 from memory :cool: [/QUOTE]
