[QUOTE="deb, post: 678885, member: 25510"] Many thanks for your reply. It was roughly in a town gold known area but no diggings or mines were we were. And i wouldnt say it was highly mineralised and I know roughly about hot rocks etc. That's interesting that it could be olivine never thought of that. The only quartz that was there were alot of the tree roots bringing it to the surface other than that nothing else. I just followed the quartz from the bottom up after going around the base of the slope. Im pretty sure It's not pyrite as pyrite shines in the light but dim out of it. Gold stays yellow either way. So I'm pretty sure it's not pyrite. You can see the yellow flake in the picture attached which I thought gold. I'm going to crush and pan it just to see out of curiosity. I am using a gpx5000 for detecting. I'm still trying to teach myself different rock types so Very interesting info.thankyou again for your reply. [/QUOTE]
