Tin or silver along Strathbogie Rd?

[MissyP]

Hey diggers! We did some fossicking on a place along Strathbogie Rd, Glen Innes the other week. I picked up a couple of little blueys and took a bucket of wash home to clean up. Interesting thing was that in the bottom of the pan in the sediment was a silver substance that would form a line once the pan tipped at an angle. Would this be tin? Maybe silver? Have done many a clean up in Southern Highlands area with mica and can say for sure it isn't that. This stuff seemed quite heavy. Just for interests sake... thoughts?

Tin would be black or  red, if it was heavy and soft then could be bits of Molybenite, more likely iy is little bits of sphene.

More than likely Galena...... Although depends where on that road.. If its between Tangoa Rd and Emmaville, I would say Galena, a Silver related Mineral...
