[QUOTE="Metamorphic, post: 103917, member: 3682"] As Prospector B says, testing your samples is the only way too tell for sure if your onto something, but if you did come across something like that, its a very good sign to begin with. Take a sample, crush and pan it off and then count any colors you may get. The old timers used to say if you get 8 or more specs of color in your pan, its an area worth investigating further! If you get nothing, move up the quartz vein 3 to 5 ft or so, along the foliation (both ways) and repeat the test each time until you get some color. Only then will you know your on the right track. Learn more about the art of loaming, just simply crushing quartz is the hard way mate. I uploaded a couple of PDF's for you to download and read: [url]http://www.keepandshare.com/doc7/6533/hints-on-loaming-pdf-439k?da=y[/url] [url]http://www.keepandshare.com/doc7/6534/gold-diggers-guide-pdf-3-4-meg?da=y[/url] Good Luck. ;) [/QUOTE]
