[QUOTE="deb, post: 678860, member: 25510"] Good morning guys. So yesterday we stopped at a random spot for 2 hrs of prospecting before heading home. There were no diggings at this random spot. My detector kept giving very low signal with every step. There was a little quartz and a few stones that went off its nah na with the detector. At the time there was no visible gold and the stones weren't your normal quartz. So i popped them in my bag anyway. When I got home I had a look with my loupe and the is fine flour gold spotted throughout stones. 2 in particular were weighty for stones that size. But they don't look like something I would expect to have gold in or for the detector to pick up that fine a gold. They also have like tiny little black gems which turn green with the light or blue. One in particular big stone went off it rocker with the detector. But on the right side with a pin pointer nothing but the opposite side goes nuts. Can't see anything on it? Gonna break them open. My question would be do you think I should investigate this spot further?? And what type of rock is these? [/QUOTE]
