1. Expat in the Philippines and new guy here. I panned some fine dirt here in the Philippines. What I found was flour/micro fine dust, non magnetic, yellow in color, with some sparkles, and the heaviest thing in the pan. When I ran it through a coffee filter and dried it overnight it now appears silver in color. What in the heck could this be?
2. This concentrate I panned was from about three lbs of dirt buildup sitting on the inside corner of the street drainage gutter. We dug out the grass that had grown over the gutter and everything under it. I classified it and ended up with BS and microfine, super fine "whatever" which was yellow gold color and also floating. I looked at it today after it had dried in the coffee filter, with a strong lens and saw micro small roundish copper balls plus what looked like small flattened and rounded gold looking particles and other particles that didn't look like gold.
I am so new at this that besides an acid test, I really don't know what to do next to truly identify this. Any suggestions? I can always Skype or Facetime if we need to talk. Peace out, Pete
Addition- March 28- I have found relics in the Lucban/Nagsinamo area. A WWII small tank for gas, a stone grinder and a 1939 centavo from the bukal area (fresh water spring) on our farm. I was just crevice hunting and I found it. I imagine a lot of items dropped out of pockets in to the bukal, hence relic hunting!
