[QUOTE="Metamorphic, post: 104011, member: 3682"] I have had good success in the past crushing Quartz from the old timers mullock heaps. Not every heap is a winner ofcourse, but if your lucky enough you can come across a few good pieces containing fine gold that the detectors wont pick up. Remember the old timers relied solely on visual examination of the pieces they threw out. If they didnt see visible gold on the outside of Quartz, it was usually dumped however, sometimes they missed bits containing fine gold within, or were not so bothered with it. Its the larger pockets of 'trapped' gold they were chasing in the reef. As you say Darryn, keep working hard mate, be thorough, dont listen to the doomsdayers and never give in to despair! Research and read all you can and continue to learn (I try to learn something new everyday) Gold will one day come your way my friend Fire that crusher up mate :) Cheers [/QUOTE]
