the line at the left is the gold cons in some really clay ridden material. Tom

Where is the paydirt from? Looks a lot like the heavy red/blue clay we see in the SE.

Nice!

I must have pushed the button to many times. 4 " of snow on the ground has me upset for it will be that much longer till we hit the hills. The area is a little out of the area that we normally hunt in and in northeast ca. in the famed plumas copper belt that is 50 miles long and 20 miles wide that was devastated by fire some years back. the picture is the cons that come off the table and I believe the bigger pieces are from the rock. I sieve everything to 30 mesh and then hunt for pickers and then grind everything above 30 mesh to powder to get a total run of the material. I then redry and regrind the the tailings and rerun on table to get full values out of the material and then smelt which is another story. Thanks Tom
