[QUOTE="Mad4gold88, post: 300469, member: 9126"] Hi all I am new to prospecting I have a question Last week went for a trip out to deep creek were I found a layer of what looks to be black sand I decided to pan two hand fulls now I am no pro at paning I use what they call a turbo pan After about 10 mins of paning I had found that the pan was a pretty gold colour it was really fine stuff I had been told that there is a lot of fools gold around from a local walking by my question is how can I tell the diffrence when it is that small I'd say I got it down to under 20 mesh I know fools gold is lighter then gold and should leave my pan the problem is it would not so I took a few bukkit fulls back with me to run it. As I was diging I found a pre 1900 glass bottle the type were you had to smash the top off to open it. I took it with me all so to find out more about it turns out to be an old caster bottle dateing to around 1850 to 1900 pitty I smashed it with the pick would of been a pretty purple bottle. [/QUOTE]
