Beware of beautiful colors..!!

The wife and I just got back from 2 days of metal detecting metal detecting in Mineral County Nevada. I doubt this will apply to anybody,... but always keep this in mind. If you see the ground oozing green, yellow, red, and white substances..... you know you're in for a lot of trouble. Your metal detector will go Haywire. I doubt if I will ever go back to this region of Nevada again. The basic bottom line is.... if you see pretty colors coming out of the ground it's not a good place to metal detect.

colors = mineralization, unless of course they are oozing then its hazardous waste, run don't walk its probably an illegal dump site.

Interesting subject. I’ve never seen “colors” per se listed in the HazMat manual we had on road patrol but now I need to go back and go thru that again.

Any idea what those oozing colors actually were ??

My first thought was paint drop.....
