[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 391515, member: 9124"] Lead can have a very dull grey color. Almost white. So if it's a flake. Good chance its lead. It will melt at a low temp. If its very old it will almost 90% dissapear. Leaving an impurity scale behind. MERCURY!!! Or mercury amalgam. If you find this stuff in your pan or banker, good chance it holds a bit of gold. DONT leave it in your alloy banker, as it will eat it no time! They react big time. Dont touch it with your hands. you can extract it and burn it off from the gold easily and safely if you do some proper homework. This stuff can be very rewarding if you find a patch of it. But treat it with the highest respect. a syringe without the needle is a good way to suck it up. Then cap it. You are probably down hill or stream of an old stamper. Good sign in principal. [/QUOTE]
