I have limited samples of quartz available happy to send to people who have more knowledge and equipment suitable for the job as I no little !
my son told me that he found a quartz vein with gold but I didnt believe him - until he showed me the gold. Amazing for NZ as the largest piece of gold in the quartz is probably about 1.5 grams.
He found it with a detector. I think that if you find a quartz vein like that it would do no harm to follow it with a good detector - he was using a Minelab Xtreme but I think the Gold Monster would be better as NZ quartz vein gold tends a lot smaller than what my son was finding.
Neither him nor I have been back but he got about ten samples with gold and the reef crosses from one side of a valley to the other and up the hill under the tussocks.
