    newbie - broke open some quartz found gold coloured sliver inside

    thats good to know! ok here are some samples what do people think here is the pyrite I found first and here is what makes me suspicious some shallow digging has occurred before, this is a pristine area

    newbie - broke open some quartz found gold coloured sliver inside

    I will post up some pics tonight of the quartz I've found (on the surface) see what folks think Nugget is sending my a crusher so I will also crush some up and pan some out, not that I've seen any visible gold on any of the quartz
