I agree. I take a sample drop it in acid. Good find. I hope you found gold.Crush up a sample as fine as possible and subject it to acid tests. Dissolve a small amount (a few grams) in aqua regia (outdoors upwind) and test with a stannous chloride solution. It is a test that will serve you well once mastered. I believe Hoke, in her book devotes some time to testing. A good read and, here at the forum, you can't beat the price.
