Detector(s) used
I just follow my nose!...where the silver and gold goes!
Minelab 5000, Goldmaster, and a few others
XRF spectrometer, Common sense.
Primary Interest:
Prospecting
Did a little CRH over the weekend, Only got 4 40%ers, But metal detecting scored me a rare find.

My fist silver wire patch specimen. Wire Silver, particularly native silver is not common at all.

Found this beautiful little wire specimen in a tailings pile in Leadville Co.
Its only a half gram, but its Baby Doe Tabor's Silver from the Matchless mine!
A former Millionaire she died penniless at her mine freezing to death!

Looks like her mine had some silver left in it after all.
