G'day all, I have a question.
Is gold found in rounded, river quartz? The reason I ask is that I have found an area with plenty of the stuff and after classifying the rocks out of the dirt/clay etc and panning the material I am finding small but numerous flecks of gold in nearly every pan. Ok then its 2 questions and the second one is...Is it worth crushing the quartz rocks when there is gold in soil from which the rocks came from? Or would it be a case (yep its now 3 questions) of the gold being deposited there along with the rocks?
This area is on top of a hill and I guess that at some point in time it was a low area that had water flowing with enough force to transport and round off the rocks.
Cheers, Billy
