Conglomerare test - which one holds the gold

[AtomRat]

By the time a get around to dollying stuff I bring home (read when bored) I have usually forgotten where each bit came from. Note to self, time for a little black book

I use ice cream containers and milk cartons labelled for my samples which are usually heavies and concentrates, and I put the big stuff in certain containers of the same area or close by to try and keep some organizing.. but I have rocks everywhere here.. everywhere.. but organised chaos 8)

Either remember or record your finds and it will help a lot mate. HTY posted a very useful hint recently with what to do when you have a find of any metal or mineral, a very valuable tip.

you have been busy crushing it!, that's awesome mate, top effort.
im finding this really cool as im new to this but im starting to think I might need a pan and sluice and a few other things to satisfy my thirst, not just a detector.

Get friendly with your aldi store & ask them to save the pots that the bunches of flowers come in. Thats what I use to put samples in ( black plastic flowerpot ). Carry anote book and just tear out the page and put it in with the sample. with the location & a name that means something to you.

your not far from me remember mate and I'm open to meetups or digging even if you don't have the gear, I've got some u can use etc

 

[numpty]

I'd be keen on that. will have to work something out and have a 'little' working bee mate.
thanks AR.

 

[dunollyman]

What was the result? Was it posted I can't find it :|

 

[AtomRat]

Sorry mate, didn't even get the chance today as the family stole it off me and went shopping and that fun stuff instead

Will do it sunday morn now sorry

 

[dunollyman]

Soo did you put your guess down as well atom rat?

 

[AtomRat]

That's rather amusing.. it seems I didn't rofl :lol:

4, 1, 3, 2 <- most

..no wonder why everyone got confused :| :8

 

[jethro]

Ok my guess from most to least is 4,1,3,2. I would like a lose up view of the gold and the enclosing matrix from each of them if possible. You can tell a lot about the type of primary source from the colour & shape of the gold and matarial in a sample.

 

[AtomRat]

Its all crushed up now so I can't show a matrix photo but you can see the color results from crushing on page 3 of the topic
Also there's no visible gold, its a test to see which one has gold, or if there is any gold at all in any of them

One of these I ran through my sluice for a few days and got some color but I didn't have the tools to run the other 3 because they wernt crushable with what I had. So basically I'm just sharing my own tests and asking what others recon might have gold

Number 1 on the left in photo one is just the matrix, the rounded quartz was massive and impossible to get out, the sample I crushed was on the ground so luckily I didn't have to work for it

 

[jethro]

Ok atom thx for the explaination.

 

[dunollyman]

I built a crusher $99 watch the diy forum ?

 

[silver]

2-4-1-3 I recon AR.

 

[dunollyman]

Results?

 

[AtomRat]

Sorry guys delay again but I had to get out for the weekend and attempt to find gold with my new eureka handed to me by an awesome forum member. Tomorrow will have results 100% posted morn. Cheers for the patience and sorry for delays

I can still hear threshold in my ears.....woooooooo wooump wooump wooooooo bip woooo :|

 

[aussiefarmer]

I would just like to thank you AtomRat for running this quiz I bet you didn't expect the rush for results its like we are playing to win an ounce , I am keen to see the results too.

 

[AtomRat]

Lol thanks mate

Omg.. just crushed my new gps and some other gear reversing over it and my bags.. bah

 

[aussiefarmer]

Can we guess how much gold was in your GPS, lmao!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[AtomRat]

Lmfao..oh man too early..not even 5 minutes 8.(

Oh well.

Probably a lot more than I detected first time on the gt with my eureka over this weekend...which was zero

Someone took all the gold.
