[QUOTE="jethro, post: 553062, member: 1297"] It can be micro fine and not readily visible to the naked eye (especially my naked eye/) Get a good large 30X lens and check for a tail of mineralized heavys in the pan. Also a small rare earth magnet to remove any iron filing that will end up in the tail and oxidise and trap gold if left in the pan for a day or so. Heating the quartz to dull red heat will make it much easier to crush, even better if you dunk it in water while still hot. :Y: [/QUOTE]
