G'Day Kristy, Thank you, the Microscope I use plugs into the USB port in my computer. I bought the Microscope on Ebay, just a cheap one.

I was interested to see the results from the first lot of rock. I have similar stuff from near Kalgoorlie that I’m working my way through
@BiggestKev1960Күн бұрын
G'Day Kristy, Did you mean the Green Schist rock? Yes it had fine traces of Gold which I could see in the pan. I didn't weigh the Gold as it was too little of and I didn't have much rock to process. Please let me know if you were talking about another sample. Thank you for watching the video. 👍👍Cheers Kev
