look what i found

[Guest]

I can visit tomorrow if your around to take a look if you like kathy

It looks silvery in the photo and hard to see but I'd say its more tin or antimony

Its heavy, dig exactly where you found it more.

G'day Flitgold, I think AR is referring to native tin.

AR Dropped by
Don't think the photos are the best indicator. We got excited over very little. AR will explain as i got no idea lol

 

[Guest]

Don't worry, your not the only one who has been getting a little excited!!! Aye SCROUNGER Regardless of it's authenticity, It looks pretty cool. I await AR's verdict on the matter

The photos were very very decieving unfortunately, sorry for late reply..

Kathy had found a real sparkly sandstone which had a glitter to it but no gold, the larger grains made the illusion.

The second photo were all excited of wss a piece of steel from a car most likely as it had chrome plating.

Kathy is certainly on her way though and training her eyes to find these strange looking rocks mostly from quartz variations and small crystals.

If your interested digging for some crystals soon give a pm or msg wss great to catch up again, always lots to talk about when it comes to digging!!

I was refering to native tin in the first photo which we have lots of here
The second fooled me from angle. Its a sheet that's 2mm thick and 4cm square corroding rust

The green really got me here and I didnt notice it was calcium built up

Thanks AR
Next few good days and then we can go on another adventure 8)

This one looks like it has some Malachite on the surface with botryoidal patterns.
