Wow thank you all for freely sharing your methods and “secrets “ great ideas and I am keen to try some of them out. I tossed out my concentrates as I thought it likely that it was pyrites or mica. But I still have some quartz rock so I guess I can dolly it and try some of these methods. Im...

Thank you all for your responses much appreciated on my journey to learning more about all things gold.

I don’t have any mercury… and I believe tiny gold can float as does mica.

Okay thanks I am also not 100% sure it’s gold, but still shiny in shade and smaller than the other concentrates in the pan- so it must be heavy. The picture with the black gold pan the specks are through the concentrates - mot just at rear. Of the pan

Thanks for the reply. Pogo. Hmmm okay perhaps I should do some research on how to use it safely.

Or is this just mica or perhaps phyrites . The bigger bits are thin plates

I would love to know more. What size ball bearings are you using? Is it noisy, wife hates me doing anything eg dollying in suburbia. How long does it take to process? Great job!

Here is some of the gold that made it past the Lego sluice. It’s in a hold pan placed to catch the overburdened from the sluice and yeah it’s Zoomed in , tiny smaller than 100 mesh gold. I got now idea how to get it… could I buy a small furnace and just smelt it sand and all? Or mercury? Or any...

The tweezers in there for size reference. The green Lego base plate is upside down and sluices the BB funneled waste. I hope the pics are clear enough to show all the tiny gold in the Lego.

I added a Lego drop riffle mini sluice and can see all the tiny gold that the BB is losing.

I have crushed quartz to minus 100 mesh. I tried panning but the gold is too tiny… I bought a Keene Blue Bowl(BB) and it is too small for that to capture. My gold floats and I am using rinse aid. I am so annoyed

Looks like some brilliant kit!
