First off, I'm a petroleum engineering student at TU (I'd go to CSM but I can't afford the cost of living!) that really appreciates the geologic aspect. But I'm from Oklahoma...only thing anybody ever rushed for here was free land! I tried finding a nice deep eddy in a deep canyon creek in NE OK and got heavy black sands but nothing shiny, but the geologic surveys didn't indicate much. I'm as amazed as the cashier at the tool outlet that they carried mining pans!
This time I want to come home with some flakes. Not expecting to find a nugget, I just want to find some. I'm open to panning, sluicing, whatever, and I'm a big guy, I can carry equipment. But a "guided tour" would be appreciated and compensated. Please reply or message me. Thanks |

Have you done any home tests to determine their properties? Scratch or specific gravity? Looks like obsidian at first glance. I've also found some petrified wood/algae that looks similar to that .
