PLACER DREDGE SAND ROGUE VALLEY 42.45N, 123.02W
The link is to a description of placer
deposits and finding gold in Oregon. The sample supposedly
contains flakes of gold. The only flake that I saw that
reflected a metallic gold luster was the cube circled in the
5x image. Gold shouldn't be a cube. None the less, I'm
keeping this sample in a safe place! After a sEcond look I
found something that might be a fleck (see above). This is
definitely not enough to use for retirement!
