Very cool. B)
The first one looks like a picture from space.
Was it taken in the blue pan?
Thanks for sharing Bill!

Those pics are with an Intel Play microscope for kids. It goes from 10x -to 200x. And I can even operate it! :D
The blue is a piece of paper under the slide,its hard to get enough light at 200x.


Now that I have found free milling gold in it,it is time for the assayer to do his job.I will have to go back up and spend a few days getting a trench cut, then prospect the gulch below it for placer. All by hand! I hope the area is rich enough to claim!

Here is a picture of the stringer.

Hi Bill and Kriss
Welcome to the forums.

Glad to see I ain't the only one who wonders if he can play with the kids stuff! :P
Now if I could just find the dang instructions.........hmmmmmm.

Well we sure hope that it pans out for you two, GOOD LUCK!

I thought since you were talking bout having fun with ore I would put in a pic of some Colorado ore from the Idaho Springs area.
This stuff is getting over 5 ounces/ton. :) This piece weighs about 8# and is the size of a softball.
One of our members works at this mine and will be selling some of this ore in the for sale forum soon.

This is a popular area and I don't know if they want the name of the mine mentioned, so I'll refrain till I know for sure. ph34r.gif

Love to see the pics you two, and I hope you like this one.
