[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 577762, member: 4485"] Is it common to the area? Looks like sedimentary rock like sandstone or chert to me but hard to tell. Country rock or rock native to the area. Is the second photo showing quartz through the rock? If so then you've probably found an area where igneous rock (in this case quartz) has intruded the country rock. These contact zones can be good gold areas. Maybe crush a sample & pan to see if gold is present. [/QUOTE]
