[QUOTE="Grey Panner, post: 665650, member: 15464"] I have never used a dry blower but on one occasion, in a bone dry creek bed when we were short of water, I tried winnowing. I fed the pay dirt from shoulder high into a ground level pan. The wind was patchy and tended to be frustrating. After some considerable time I had collected quite a bit of concentrate.I took this awayand wet panned it later. I obtained several grams of gold but I have no way of knowing how much, if any, I lost during the process. Winnowing certainly works but you need a steady strongish breeze when working with gravel.
