We quickly dosavowed the kanaka of that misconception
Are you on the big island?
Mauna Loa? What are your homeowner’s premiums like (ballpark/non-specific)?
You may also tell me nunya ;^).

Ahhh. Been there twice. Negril area, was our favorite. That 7 mile beach is amazing.

There are several methods mostly involving some pretty harsh chemicals, you DON’T want to try these.
Easiest (safest) way is to put it in a cast iron pan and take a hammer to it; pyrite, mica, etc will shatter into fine grains or dust.
Gold is malleable in it’s natural state, it will flatten and spread out (like a piece of soft copper) instead of breaking up.
If your still at the stream and your looking at the rock in the sunlight and it looks shiny and gold, it MIGHT be; put your hand between your specimen and the sun (put the specimen in good shade), does it still look shiny and gold? It MIGHT be, further tests are required.
But see somebody who knows what their doing before you get into NITRIC ACID tests, NITRIC ACID is a very dangerous chemical to be messing with unless you know what your doing.
If your in the LA area; the upper areas of the East San Gabriel river have gold in them, pretty good hike but might be worth it.
Best place (for good color) I know in that area down there is the East Fork of the Prairie Fork of the San Gabriel River. Good gold on the gravel benches about 100 yards above the creek, but damn hard to get to.
Go to the top of Blue Ridge (just above Wrightwood, Ca.), take the dirt road (if it’s still there) to the bottom of Prairie Fork Canyon, go west on the creek as far as your vehicle will take you, then walk in about another mile or two.
Try the holes and gravel beds in the creek, should be good color back in there after the fires several years ago.
GOOD LUCK, hope I have created another GOLD MINER, we are a dying breed.
I have been a member of the Hayfork Mining Council of the Hayfork Mining District for about 20 years, we don’t get to do to much mining anymore but we keep fighting for our rights under the 1872 Mining Laws, courts take time.
Check around, you might find a local Mining Council in some of the foothill communities.
I know that the LA Museum of Natural History has a Gem and Mineral Council, they might be able to give you some direction on finding the local councils.
Wait a minute. I’ve viewed the Chicago River and the Illinois Canal at several points along their course. They are puny, compared to the Mississippi River. Even if the locks completely disappeared, how does enough water flow down the Chicago River to “stress” the Mississippi, unless the Mississippi River is already severely flooding?
thanks!
we have always stayed in Negril, but this time we are staying in Lucea.
The origin of the water would be the upper three Great Lakes draining into the Chicago River by way of Lake Michigan.
Doesn’t matter.
It is not a matter of available water volume, it is a question of flow rate. You just can’t get enough cubic feet per second coming down that piddly Chicago River into the Canal and on southwestward to bother the Mississippi River much. It’s like trying to overflow an average well-drained ditch with a soda straw: How much water you have supplying the straw is irrelevant.
This neglects the effects of any buildings that might fall into the Chicago River, further congesting its flow. (Well, you did suggest a “megaquake”.)
Now... You get that earthquake to create a 1/4 mile wide 60 ft. deep crevasse from the Chicago Lakefront to Central IL, and we might be talkin’. Same for some sort of tremendous uplift of the Great Lakes, or (more likely) a large subsidence in roughly the same area as that crevasse I speculated about.
(The crevasse could likely be readily filled in at some point to block the flow, assuming the earth-moving equipment was still around.) (”Details”.)
I live in Southern California, and this is the one that makes
me sit up and take notice.
If you look at a topographical map of North Eastern Arkansas,
you can see a large region up there that looks as if it had
flowed at one time.
Check this out:
To me that looks like one big liquefaction zone on the right
side of the state. It may be deceiving in that. I don’t
know. It’s a larger region than I had remembered. Looks
like it might go up toward Cape Gerardo.
The problem is, the region along the Mississippi was largely
uninhabited in the mid 1800s. Now, look out. They do not
build to the same earthquake standards California does,
unless they have instituted that in the last 20-30 years.
