[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 74647, member: 357"] theres no value in a specimen that has no visible gold mate, nearly all rocks about the place has some traces of gold in them the question is how much gold is in that rock, even a dollyied test piece isn't conclusive because gold will settle into the crevises on the surface and contaminate the results. only way to know is weight it before then crush it and weight the gold after. that will give you the value of the load. However if you happen to smash it and find a gold vein or like keep it as specimen [/QUOTE]
