[QUOTE="Powerhammer, post: 429121, member: 13181"] [i]I dollied up around the limonite reef and panned it but got no visible gold and there was nothing really to see under the microscope so I have been working my way down the creek line which is the fault. That's when I found the sample with the metal threads and the other white rock which is fine grained, no cleavage plane and heavy and very brittle,. Not sure if it is quartz though or contact metamorphic coming off the fault. Under the microscope it is slightly transparent with the dark mineral being heat affected and fused together and forming small dendrites. Has anybody seen anything like this? [/i] [/QUOTE]
