So, you think your rocks are valuable? READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST ABOUT ORE!

Honestly I'm not sure of how they did it but I know they had alot of knowledge about alot of things,
they being the KGC, which I tell you that I've found one of their lost hidden treasures I'm not at all joking, I've found a good one too marked by Bickley himself and otter items by the jesse james and the younger gang alongside Billy the kid, what should I do? I found on property belonging to my family but I'm still worried about reporting it just because I've read some stories online where the go government trys to take it most the time, I was planning to have enough refined to buy my own equipment to refine the rest myself!!! Any.advice?

For refining it, you can learn it all here.
but...
I expect that the government will want back any items, gold, silver or Pd jesse james and billy the kid "mined"
Having precious metals of questionable origin, is not something I should share on a public forum, certainly not if you don't want to report it? Or am I being paranoid?

Naahh, move on nothing to see here....

I really do not know the likelyhood of the correct people seeing these things and then having the energy to do something about it.

But we will still recommend that such issues are dealt with through proper channels.

Most likely nothing though.

What is the thing about "xrf use on rhodium or irridium. Why not? Explain please. I'm confused about to whether it is dangerous irresponsible or ignorant. If someone was in the market for an xrf gun to test for those metals. Why would you shun them from doing so

You can start by reading this thread from the beginning.
And you've got it wrong it is nothing about Rhodium or Iridium.
It is all about Arsenic and modes.
Most XRFs are loaded with a precious metal library (price).
They will interpret Arsenic abd other elements it do not understand to the closest on the list which is usually Rhodium and Iridium coincidentally both of the rarest and most expensive elements.

This is alien to me, all I can think of is the Kangaroo Garden Club, which is likely wrong.

So you acquired some stone or ore and had someone crush it and compress it into those pillows? Did they add any binder to keep it from drying out and crumbling?

Can you acquire a sample of the powder before it was compressed?

We can tell you how to sample the material and how to figure out what, if anything, it is worth but we cannot quell any fears you have about the characters from the wild west. We also will leave any reporting you feel you need to do up to you.

I am not worried nor do I fear anything east north west or south, knowledge is power and I will not feed into your trap, I know not because of my own opinion but because I was the grandson of a very important person who is or was an high ranking me of don't you wish you knew? I will.refine myself here very soon and I'll tell whom it may concern about this whole conspiracy and where to locate A/R!!!. Don't think you want me to explain and prove how ths all came to make gold worth what it is, I have figured out where how and why and it was a great idea it's just im a Lil onto your master plan

This went from weird to complete nonsense very fast, did it not?

I'm telling that I've got George Bickleys stash of gold,what makes that weird,because it ain't you, I'm not the one for games I'm really just fixing to remove myself from this website it's no longer needed

You really are too much Hunt! This is a refining forum and you dropped in on a forum specifically for Prospecting, mining, Ore & Geochemical and spoke of some material that you crushed and once you were sure it was gold you compressed it into slabs to ship it off to be refined. Then it morphed into Jesse James gold and Billy the kid and the younger gang. And then the Knights of the Golden Circle and some guy named Bickley. Now you are a direct descendant of someone famous and high ranking and you think we want what you have. Sounds like you got waterlogged in Tampa in the last hurricane and you don't know what you are talking about.

The best news since you started was when you said

That will save me a few keystrokes banning you.

Have fun playing with your ghosts from the wild west.

Are we talking about the same thing here. The photo shows what looks like a very uncomfortable pillow not stolen property.

When bulk concentrates from a floatation mill (Ag/Pb) are loaded into a dump truck, then driven say 50 miles or so to a railroad siding for transport to a smelter, They come out of the dump bed in an almost solid slab of what looks like a concrete slab. No addition of cement , just natural packing of the concentrate. You can only load a dump truck about a foot deep, as the high specific gravity would seriously overload the GVW of the vehicle, if loaded even half way full. In theory, if what Toomuch Hunt has is a concentrate from such a mill, it could compact itself into such a "pillow " as pictured. Who knows how the mill ran, so it could have included Au, if it contained it in the raw ores. Just curious what state it was found in, as the James gang operated in several states.

If you read all of his posts on this thread it appears it came from a state of mind not a state of the union.

Interesting that normal compaction can vibrate it into a slab, up to that point it was believable, enter Jesse James, billy the Kid and the Knights of the Golden Circle and that's where it went off the rails.

and otter items by the jesse james and the younger gang alongside Billy the kid

The James/Younger gang - & Billy the Kid had NOTHING to do with each other

The James/Younger gang operated as bank & train robbers in the Midwest (from Missouri/Kansas to as far north as Minnesota) & operated from (about) 1866 - 1876

Billy the Kid was more of a political war known as the Lincoln County war in New Mexico (so out west) & he was NOT a bank/train robber

The Lincoln County war didn't get started until 1878 (so about 2 years after James/Younger) & went to 1881 when he was killed by Pat Garrett (supposedly)

So the two events DID NOT happen "along side" each other & in fact had nothing to do with each other

Someone struck a nerve somewhere. When people react angry to a very simple question, it's often that they don't want you figuring out the the truth or mentioning it out loud. Or they prefer to remain in a state of denial.

I'm telling that I've got George Bickleys stash of gold

you could have a strong opinion on that guy when reading about him...

A suggestion: donate the entire stash to a slavery museum.
