Locating gold / silver by geophysics

My geophysical equipment (induced polarization / resistivity) at work in New Mexico. This located a nice gold / silver zone that was pretty shallow. I'm still working on this prospect when time allows. I have several high tech metal detectors, but this equipment is for the serious search for gold and silver deposits.
See actual plotted data on additional post below.

I'm hoping to go work on this prospect in October. I got some pretty good assays from this "discovery".
This is the data that was plotted from the "discovery" traverse. Notice the chargeability peak value of almost 18 MvS/V (blue line) and also the high resistivity zone immediately to the west of the mineralization occurance.

Very interesting...and you said you have assays? Can you post them? Would love to see them as well. Congrats on the find! :hello2:

Someone asked me if I ever found any high grade gold ore - the answer is yes I have. In fact, several times. So I thought I would post an assay - at least I think that $1,181,000 per ton is high grade. This ore looked like calaverite and I think the assay confirmed it.

This ore is NOT from old Mexico and the "slag" was really a finely pulverized sample from a nearby dump.

Good afternoon My New Friend: Having worked as an assayer in my checkered life, I wonder who took the samples for the assay?

I also noticed that the assay report was 30 years ago, have you been able to do anything with it?

I have a mountain of questions to ask you on the instrument, did you design and make it yourself, or is it a commercial unit?

Is it a one man operation, or do you need a crew?

Sheesh this will do for a starter my friend, I hope that you will post quite a bit more on your experiences with it.

p.s. the assays below are from my property here in Mexico. This is what I wish to thoroughly check out. Those are not my assays, but were made by the state Geologist on my property, perhaps in the 50's.

p.p.s I always wanted a rich friend, luck my new friend. hehehh
