Gold Leaf Flakes
gold leafs? Worth collecting?
relatives live in nevada (near sierra) and i remember when we went near a stream near the mountains on a hot day i saw lots of shiney bright yellow flakes. i collected a couple but lost them, i heared that it takes A LOT of them to make an ounce but i was wondering
Would it be worth it to spend the time collecting as many possible? i don’t live there, but i remeber them being every were on the ground, (the sand, dirt, water)
It could be iron pyrite, fools gold. You could spend a lot of time gathering some up and then testing it.
~ Gold ~
Gold is not shiny, it does not reflect in the sunlight. It is gold in color, and dull.
Gold is heavy, when panning, it will stay at the bottom of the pan and will not float.
~ Iron Pyrite ~
Pyrite is not gold color. It is bright, shiny, and yellow color. Pyrite is not heavy.
When panning, it moves easily the same as dirt.
——————————————————————————–
A good test to try
Hit it with a hammer, pyrite will shatter like glass (don’t ruin a good nugget)
Or you can scrap it with your pocketknife, if it’s gold, it will scratch, if it’s pyrite, it will flake off.
*** I think you meant to say gold flakes rather than gold leaves
Gold right now is worth $1,136.00 per troy ounce
