I collected magnetite and smelted iron from it. Unexpectedly, ended up with a metal bead containing iron, gold, copper (I think), other. Did a streak test to convince myself that I actually had some gold. Here’s what I’m seeing: iron (starting to oxidize), gold, a metal that is oxidizing to a really nice blue color (think this might be copper), and some other silver malleable metal that does not appear to be oxidizing.
I’m not a gold prospector, so this is new to me. Would appreciate some tips/reference material for parting and identifying the non iron metals that I appear to have. Thanks in advance.
