I dont remember how I found it,but I believe I found gold.........in the city of chicago! I think when I was like five I found this shiny part quartez rock(of course every shiny/cool lookin rock I kept as a kid)when I was just diggn in my backyard but I kinda lost it but it then showed up the other day in some stuff of mine with some other rocks 9 years later....I did some image searchin on yahoo/google and mine looks very similar,so I think it might be gold,and my question is,is it possible to find a small,maybe inch in diameter,piece of gold in a southside backyard in chcago?, before I check witha jeweler.....

a number of them locate funds yet not Gold. talking of Gold as something non cloth no person who cares greater approximately being rich than they do approximately reality and love is going to locate gold until eventually via the mercy of God. i'm not the gold digger sort in any respect yet i does not choose every physique who's considering is as much as God.i be responsive to somebody who's a gold digger and he or she thinks she appears like Paris Hilton or Brittany Spears yet she appears like an alley cat . She gets some funds from a boy in ny and then she makes use of different dumb human beings she calls merely acquaintances,who i does not touch with a 10 foot pole for Bojangles,Starbucks, movies and waste funds on her around city for notwithstanding else she needs.She suggested she replace into spoiled as a infant so as hence she is mean and rude. She works in a eating place and it appears like she has not got here across gold that she thinks she is waiting for until eventually it replace right into a booger in her nostril. I prayed she might locate the gold and get her complainer tail out of city.like the music gold digger.

Chances are you found 'Fools Gold' iron pyrite FeS2. It looks like gold and come as an inclusion in quartz. A very common mineral.
As a matter of fact, I just looked in my Simon & Schuster's Guide to Rocks and Minerals and Sparta Illinois is mentioned as one of the places of occurance in USA

Chicago is full of good universities. I'm sure one of them has a geologist on staff who would be happy to identify your rock for you. Not to burst your bubble, but iron pyrite is often found in quart-like rocks all over the continent. Iron pyrite is shiny, yellow and metallic; which gives it the name 'fools gold' (meaning no offense).

Sure, anything is possible. If you check with a jeweler and it is gold, I will be glad to help you dig up your backyard for a cut.
