Hi everyone, as most of you know ,i live in an old gold mining town and for years been looking for gold.When we where young ,we use to go SPECKING for gold after the rain and sometimes would find small specks of gold washed out by the rain.Once you have done this a few times, you get an eye of seeing gold on the ground ,glittering in the sun.Well the other day went for a walk to the post box and i saw this glitter on the ground and thought heres a piece of gold for sure.After picking it up i soon knew it was not gold as the luster was not quite as bright as gold.How unlucky It was a piece of IRON PYRITE [FOOLS-GOLD] .I FELT LIKE A FOOL and i suppose that why iron pyrite got the other nick name.
