[QUOTE="jethro, post: 108416, member: 1297"] Hey Pete Those samples in the above pics are prime looking rocks to hold gold mineralisation. Crush them up by all means but I would resist the temptation to run the crushed material through a sluice of any sort. You will get a much better indication of the gold content if you pan it down to a tablespoon of fine concentates in an 8 inch sampling pan. Pan off into a tub so that you can rerun your sands if & when you get a few positive samples. Use a loupe of at least ten power to examine your concentrates with & save them into a container for later processing or doing a quantative assay. [/QUOTE]
