I know what you mean about learning some geology, I did a search for quartz formations in the county and came up with a report about the geology of the area including a list of minerals in PPM.  The only problem I have now is that I don't have the map that accompanies the report.  I've included the list, take care out there.

No I'm afraid not, they just dicuss how different layers mingle with this one or that and different flood layers.  I did finaly find some maps but unfortunately for me they are in Adobe pdf format and I can't save them to a different format so that I can blow them up for esaier reading and printing.  Also the maps don't indicate where different mineral concentrations might be.

So unless you're interested in how volcanic action interacting with floods and landslide activity not where minerals might be deposited the report and maps are for you.  Otherwise it's a bust and won't replace just getting out there and trekking through the brush and sampling the creeks to find Old Mr. gold.

Take care,

That is true Gambol but if you can narrow down the places where you are more likely to find it.  As I am 68 I don't have the advantage of time to search every nook & kranny for the elusive old Mr. A. U. Gold.

The link worked great now I can bring the maps up in PS and crop, enlarge or decrease the size.

Many mucho thanks,
Gramps
