If only everyone could be aware of this information. Too many people are unaware of blue clay and I hate to think some of us noobs are walking RIGHT past rich deposits. Deposits that could make them rich and change the lives of hundreds or even thousands of people.

In that hole, silver mining in America as we know it was born. In the rocker along with the gold was a large quantity of heavy blue-black material which clogged the rocker and interfered with the washing out of the fine gold. When assayed however, it was determined to be an almost pure sulphuret of silver.

The size, richness and cost of exploiting a buried ore body is very hard to estimate even today.

Watch this story of virginia city. Also note the geologic factors in this area. They go right along with the geology of Gold I've read about locating precious metal deposits.

Dang, Dude-

I posted last week about a vein of blue clay in the branch behind my house. I was hoping for gold, but this is interesting news as well. Is silver found in known gold areas too?

How do I test this stuff for silver?
 

If you watch the videos on http://www.goldsilver.com you will find that silver is due to make a much better profit than Gold.
We are reaching all time record highs but silver is still halfway behind it's all time record high.
If I could choose I'd rather find silver than gold at this point.

There are a lot of seasoned veterans on this site who have spent most of their lives looking for precious metal. Some of their collections look like your looking at the inside of a prospecting store.

 

If you want a cheap check, Put a couple of inches of the blue clay in a glass bowl. bury a copper wire in the clay and hook it to the NEG. of a battery or charger. Now hang a copper tube in the bowl and hook it to the POS. battery post or pos of charger. Fill the bowl with water. Make sure the copper tube is not touching the clay. Turn on the charger or hook up the battery. Leave it on over night. If there is silver in the clay you will see some on the copper tube .
It would work better with battery acid, but why bother, Its just a test. Frank

Yep, I've posted on here before, about blue clay. I have a helluva vein in the crick behind my house. Hopefully now, I figure out what to do with it.
