Hello, I have been finding these rocks all over. Can you tell me what they maybe? There seems to be no reliable way here and it is frustrating. I live in a town where they have a place for people to pan for gold, yet they don't know how to identify it, or so they say. I am on a very limited...

As a prospector who happens to have a mineral claim, but also likes to placer mine and just pan at times, I thought I'd gather my thoughts here and spell out what I plan to do. Keeping in mind that a person past 50 living on a very modest fixed income doesn't have a big budget for the "toys"...

Found this on the beach today it hit at "gold ring" but I'm not sure for certain how to tell. It is the first thing I've found that wasn't a nail so I'm not very experienced in being able to tell the difference between metals. Any thoughts?

I found this ring in a farm field that has had some house on it for at least 150 years. The ring is stamped 18K (no other marks) and came out of the ground with that beautiful gold shine. My question is can anyone tell me what the inlay might be? It is dull, rough in texture and almost black...
