Hi all,
I have crushed some quartz and calcrete and some qtz with specks of gold so that it goes through a 100 mesh seive. A fine powder basically.
I have a Keene blue bowl but I can not seem to separate the fine gold very well, some of it floats and yeah I do use rinse aid. The gold seems smaller than the other 100+ mesh and is impossible to collect.
I made a basic drop riffle Lego sluice and put it under the BB funnel and it has caught lots of tiny gold that the BB won’t.
See pics.
How can I capture, seperate and keep my gold? Too fine to pan, to fine for BB. My wife is not keen for me to buy any more prospecting gear, so would love ideas on stuff I can make … or buy affordably
Cheers
