Ahhhr Phoenix,You almost had me going there with that 50 cent coin chum, until I carefully read your post.But all specimens with gold in them have some tale to tell.Interesting find.Does the bottom right hand corner of that speci show mica? or is it some other combined mineral or metal?.

Cheers kon61.

well done..

are you going to give it the acid bath treatment in an attempt to uncover the potential of more gold within that speci.

Goldbait hi
i don`t think there is anymore gold in it. it was just a tiny whisper of a target and if i wave the end that`s sitting on the 50ยข over the coil , you can`t hear it
