[QUOTE="Metamorphic, post: 103637, member: 3682"] No such thing as a dumb question........ however in answer, very rarely 20xwater. Gold usually travels in solution with Silicon and other elements and they commonly crystalize together (all those milions of years ago) and Quartz veins amongst these sorts of structure are your best bet. If you see slate or other rock that is foliated and has sheer zones like in the pics above, your on the right track as the structure is right Keep following the direction of any foliated rock (usually N to NE and S to SW) and look for small veins of Quartz that have formed amongst the foliation. These quartz veins are sometimes very small and only a few mm to a few cm wide. Bogi explains it better than I can; [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm_WGaPH24Q[/url] [/QUOTE]
