Home made ravioli & sauce with skillet fried chicken, a Sauna, scrambled eggs with toast(a little charcoal is good for a person from time to time), maple, oak and ironwood firewood and wild game, why did you fellas bother going home? Camp life sounds Really Nice!

Glad you were able to get out and try out your gear. Could you post some pictures of your finds? The flakes, if they are metal they should bend, not break or fall apart when bent. The flakes, I doubt they are mercury coated gold but if so be careful as heating the mercury off of the metal IS DANGEROUS. As you suggested possibly it is some other metal type rather than gold. Heating one flake with a propane torch OUTSIDE with plenty of air around you might prove to be interesting. IF you try this do it with a very soft, small flame otherwise it will blow the flake away.

Sounds like you and your uncle had a good time together and that is also what this is all about, 63bkpkr
