i upvote and follow you.pls do same to me.
Top looks more like gold than the bottom one.
But, still looks fake.
Says he had it tested and is 14 grams gold per Tonne. Probably a sulphide with a small % of gold.
He tested both of them?
14 grams would not be a lot of gold per tonne. Probably not worth the effort.
Not sure.
if 14 grams per ton.. that would be 1 gram /65,000 grams
Okay, so I did a quick interweb lookup and it would seem that 14 grams per ton would be a very profitable mining operation.
I think so.
Does he own the land or did he just find these chunks?
He is an Ojibwa Trapper and Hunter - these are found on Native lands way up North - so I am sure any profits go to the Tribe.
A few other Gold bugs said this is Gold Sulphide and very difficult o extract the small amounts of gold.
There's always a catch!
They all want a sample to Test..... They will test ... get the gold and then say "Nope, Nothin there - but send me some more and I'll test those ones too.
pyrite is an iron ore so get the chemistry set (looks like gold though)
I have a Garrett Pro Pointer Metal detector that could check for pyrite very easily ....http://amzn.to/2iBXi46
