[QUOTE="Parks, post: 214410, member: 6315"] There is a big difference in rock types. I do not have photos available but if you can close your eyes and imagine for example; a slightly rounded edged piece of quartz from a creek, it has definitive sides and slightly rounded edges, showing it is rather young and travelled a short distance. The quartz from a deep lead or deep lead head creek will have a look like golf balls, very rounded and smooth. Sometimes you may find one of these rounded rocks in your prospecting and that means a deep lead is in the area. ;) [/QUOTE]
