I should check into these forums more than every couple years, but you got to work your claims sometimes. To me the word prospect means with the intent to file a claim. You can rock collect in wilderness areas but you can not prospect as you can never file a claim.
The minute you say rust you think iron. And that looks to be iron pyrite as far as I can tell from the picture. And looking from the picture I would be looking for oh gold, silver, tetrahedrate, copper and a host of other associated minerals.
DON'T DO EBAY. I never see rocks go for what they should. Go to www.irocks.com and see if your silver is comparable to what is being sold there. If so contact Dr. Lavinsky. Whatever you do find one of the brokers. Sounds like you have some collectible specimens. Museums and such buy from brokers...
My apologies colorado. We had some of TN fiends in photography section look at the wire gold. We were not able to bring it out so that it was presentable. I had really hoped to show you some of Cripple creek wire gold. They are single little strands of hair like pieces jutting up out of the...

Re: What is this unique "chert" material?

Hi, I am working (key word working) on a website on micro photography of main vein samples of ore. I have posted on my main page a specimen of ore with some purple wire in the bottom picture. Any speculation on what this wire might be would be greatly appreciated. www.wildboulderbill.com...
Dear Friends;
At the ripe old age of 59 I am attempting a web site with pictures of colorado ore. This ore is all from last year. I don't even know how to text, so this has been frusrtrating. It loads slow because I got the megapixels to high. I have some ore pictures from Sydney Moons Lost...

So true, so true. And if you write about it you don't have to know anything and it doesn;t have to be true. Also you don't have to break your back hauling a pack and metal detector.
It ils perfectly legal to prospect as long as it has noy been legaly withdrawn from mineral entry, such as a wilderness area. However around abanded buildings it gets tricky as much of colorados areas could technically be archeological sites. I always call Denver and seek their blessing as they...
