[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 413640, member: 4485"] Instead of keeping them the easiest way to tell if they have gold (with no gold visible) is give them a whack with the back of your pick head when you find one that gives a signal. You'll find that when smashed into smaller bits the signal will disappear or if one section contains gold a good solid signal will remain in a specific bit. IMO unless there are visible gold specks or pickers encased in it then you'd need to take home a truckload of hot rocks to make crushing & panning off fine gold worthwhile. The vast majority only signal due to their other metallic mineral content not due to gold. [/QUOTE]
