[QUOTE="jethro, post: 29328, member: 1297"] I think it was probably mica as it was scattered everywhere as you said. Also mica is reasonably soft and flexible with a certain amount of pliability as it used to give me a lot of trouble blocking up the discharge sceen on my rod mill when I crushed samples containing mica as well as quartz etc. Having said that I have specked gold in a creek on a couple of occasions with just the naked eye but that was a long time ago. I think I would probably stub my toe on a nugget before seeing it if i was without my reading glasses these days. :( getting old is a pain when the body won't do the things you take for granted when young and fit 8.( .
