[QUOTE="Guessologist, post: 440086, member: 11952"] First gold! Kind of, anyway... Found this funny little threaded cone which rang up just like a .22 bullet, near historical mining. While cleaning it I noticed the unmistakable flash of gold in the oxidised crud, as a tiny grain right on the end! It's basically microscopic but I'll take it. The material that fills the end of the cone looks appears to be fragments of the local ore sulphides, I can only assume it's part of some assaying equipment. Anyone seen this before?

Been getting desperate and digging obvious nails just to make sure I'm still on the old stuff! [/QUOTE]
