[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 677480, member: 4728"] It is not impossible for gold to be in a cement or conglomerate. When you break up a piece of rock with gold in it, usually only one or two fragments of the rock react to a metal detector. You can keep breaking them into smaller pieces until you should be able to see the clear gleam of gold. If all or most of the fragments react to a metal detector you can Usually assume it is a hot rock. As Davsgold suggests the only sure way is to pulverize a piece that reacts to a metal detector and pan it off for gold colours. [/QUOTE]
