[QUOTE="snow, post: 291936, member: 1056"] check the black sand with a magnet to see if its black iron,if it is good sign gold may be present.most of the 1800 gold mines in colorado have mounds of black iron tailings the old timer's disgarded,I would dig below these mounds ,load up 5 gal buckets with the tailings and pan thru em always finding color usually flower gold and some spec's of wire gold I used strong magnets to seperate the black iron from the gold we found. Drilled many water wells in minn in my younger days,the term colder than a well digger's ass has meaning in minnesota,lot's of glacial drift,usually down to 20 to 40' in some area's,like you stated we also found petrified wood and also pockets of iron pyrite,my first time screening tailings one year had me thinking i'm rich on a sunny day,dang screen was full of bright yellow fools gold,old timer on my rig just laughed at this youngster,don't recall sea shells but the rotary would grind everything up,didn't spend much time on the cable tool rig except as a helper setting up dynamite charges to open up bed rock water vains open holes or setting pipe [/QUOTE]
