A Tale of two Golds

The Gold on the left came from French Gulch, It's fresh from it's load and washed down stream a short distance.  The gold on the Right came from the Ono California area ancient sea bed, We found marine fossils while digging it. Who Knows how many mountains it tumbled down on its way to the bottom of the sea or how long it took it took it to get there. The Load gold is very rough and crystline in appearance and the sea bottom gold flat and hammered smooth. The tunnel is the old Milk Maid mine in French Gulch while the Bank cut is the geology of the Ono area10493334088?profile=original10493335659?profile=originaloth10493336264?profile=original
