Finally finished my personal emblem for prospecting! I wanted something that captures the spirit of the rivers and the craft — classic tools, gold in the pan, and Somerset roots. Really proud of how it turned out.
Encontre esta roca que parecia mas escoria de fundición que otra cosa pero por curiosidad intenté triturar un poco y agregar acido nitrico....
El resultado fue el que esperaba, el acido se pintaria de verde y se disolveria todo rastro de metal dorado como laton o bronce...
Pero... Al final me quedaron esos pedacitos de metal amarillo brillante, crei que con un poco mas de ácido los disolveria pero agregué mas y no paso nada.....
Dug for 3 hours with only pan and a shovel, and its not bad but there are pieces up to centimeter big sometimes, so I should move closer to primary deposits next time.
A quick afternoon/evening hunt of about 3 hours leads to .65 grams of gold.
Out with my minelab gold.monster 2000. .73 grams today and .31 last evening. Over 20 grams total for this year so far.
