Don't want to bust the Fun Bubble but your snooping around on Semi or Private Properties.

If these claims are Patented there Private.

If there just under Mineral Claim you can go to jail just using your metal detectors being blamed on looking for gold.

I always stop on locations like this and have a look around.

I never so much as touch any equipment or enter buildings .

The equipment in those photos can be brought back to operation in just a mater of hours.

The Trammel looks like it was used last year.

The shaker table looked like it was still Serviceable.

If the equipment was NOT on a Active Claim, it would not be there.   The BLM or Forest would have taken it.

You all need to read the post I did about people playing on active claims.    There in Jail or Out looking at some major fines for Theft of Mineral Claims.

Yes it's a Federal Crime to do a mineral Trespass.

They can take your Vehicle, Guns, Any Equipment used in the Crime.  ( Yes Crime ).

You can loose your 2nd Amendment Right to own a Fire Arm.

It looks to me you was on someones claim in the off time.

All equipment in the photo's was serviceable.   They still had Grease on the Pulleys.

The Belts was still in place.

Good God!   

You and your girlFriend had a good time on someones Hard Work and Time.

If he or she came along you may have been looking down the wrong end of a Shot Gun.

Detained awaiting the State Police to show up.

It happened again....I lost my message, because I posted over 500mb of pixs. Whats with that? I've downloaded 1200+MB of pix before.
Anyway....yes its quartz veins in a granite material. It is in high-relief....and they look like snakes. The host rock is softer and wears away quicker than the quartz. The other is a large "all quartz" boulder the size of my Landcruiser.

 I don't think that you could have had a photo from this site with 1500Kb because it will not allow you to upload more than 500Kb. I have never lost a message before when my photo was above the limit but what I sometimes do is copy and past my post to a word document because it has happened that the system crashes NOT on thunting.com but by me (It's a bummer when that happens)
I have never seen quarts like that in my life that is quite impressive. I will keep an eye out for that kind of quarts formation here in SA but I doubt that I will ever find some like that.

All the best to you
Xavier

That is a quartz vein.............sadly......no gold. That boulder is part of a whole mountain that has quartz veins like that. In fact all the hills around the area....for miles up and down the wash I'm in....have quartz veins that protrude above the ground. All the ones I've checked are lacking in gold. That picture was taken near the Red Cloud Mine, Chuckwalla Mountains, Riverside County, California (you can look it up online). Here are some more pics of the quartz in the area. The 2nd one is a prospect....where someone dug into the quartz hardrock....about 5 feet deep....10 feet dia. The 3rd is a view of the wash....in the area of one of the mines....that date back to the 1850's. Lots of rock buildings. The 4th is a huge quartz boulder. And the last one is a monster quartz boulder.....the size of my Landcruiser....and who knows how much is buried in the sand.

From your photo's I see what is called Sugar Quartz.

It's formed by Fast Cooling .

Formed in Igneous Rock formations like these , I would not think Gold had time to deposit.

Still nice formations and I see that you solved you photo size. I don't know what you are using to resize your photos but a nice free bit of software is called PixResizer it's simple to use and fast.

All the best
Xavier
