[QUOTE="Jon, post: 13360, member: 717"] Yeah Paul, I heard that about that bit too. I saw the pic a while ago. My only problem with that is this. (Not having a go at you or what you said in your post.) I highly doubt the pinpointer would pick up on fine gold at all. If it was in concentration enough for it too then the gold would have been visible for sure, even if it was predominantly fine, it would need to be in concentrations for a pin pointer to react on. That would be in mineral seam or mineral cluster concentrations and not just scattered throughout the quartz. Here's the thing with pinpointers, if it detects, its visible. That's the bit about the story I heard that does not add up. [/QUOTE]
