well described Adrian, BUT TIM if it is a quartz rock sounding off be sure it is not a gold specimen keep also in mind that sometimes you wont see the gold from the outside and it will need to be dollyed and panned off I have smashed noisy quartz rocks and got 8-10 gm out of them and have not seem gold on the outside, goodluck.
