[QUOTE="silver, post: 237325, member: 1953"] You could crush one up and see how it performs in a pan with a handful of builders sand ( pan the sand first by itself to ensure it has no black sands in it), it wouldn't prove anything, but you would know to expect black sands in the creek thereabouts if that's how it behaves in the pan ,... And if it is in only one area then the creek where it's ending up could be panned for gold and gems just incase what your finding is something pointing (uphill) to a protruding seam of something like a new Biggenden mine (look that up), they probably found stuff like that (maybe) there in the old days that would have helped lead them to the show ,... more in it really than what is it, that might be just the start of a journey there mate ! :D [/QUOTE]
