[QUOTE="Bent2Bits, post: 675182, member: 25478"] Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster. I have recently moved from Vic to QLD and have been visiting the Warwick fields to continue my passion for finding gold. I have recently purchased a Cobbers Crusher and have been running rock through it. I have found some flakes that look like gold, but definitely different from the gold I have found in the area. Attached is a picture of it in my sieve and how it sits, it rises to the top when I shake the sieve. Also, a picture of it beside some gold pieces I have found in the same area. In water it is definitely lighter and kind of "float" sinks. I have poked it with a tiny screwdriver and it bends around the point, but doesn't really hold its shape. I thought maybe the crusher is pounding silica dust into the gold it and "diluting" it or maybe some kind of gold/copper alloy. At a loss nonetheless, thought I'd reach out here and ask as I am finding a fair bit of it. Cheers for any info, Bent2bits [/QUOTE]
