people with questions about the rocks/gems/minerals they find.

I would like to see your not gold photos.

When digging in soils that can give up gold that could be even 1000's of years old, one's mind runs wild when seeing anything the colour of gold.
I know it hasn't got anything to do with minerals with gold content-but I couldn't resist.
