silver dog doug Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I have a specimen of Gold in quartz. Can anyone tell me how much gold in in the specimen? Wt. in Grams 36.0 . Suspended in water 11.3 grams. I don"t want to crush it, but I would like to know how much gold is in it. On the Nugget hunting forum, I can't upload my pictures. A message that the file is to big to upload comes up. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gus in idaho Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 36.0 X 1.16 = 41.7611.3 X 3.07 = 34.69Difference between the two =7.07 Grams of gold.This is the water displacement formula that I have used for years with pretty accurate results.Just make sure that when you suspend the specimen in the water (I use dental floss) it is not touching the bottom or side of the container.This method is not 100%, none of them are. But it will get you real close.Right click on the photo in your gallery and then hit edit. Then resize it by 50% and then you should be able to upload it if you want.Gus- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
