[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 633283, member: 3960"] Dan it sounds like you have pyrites but I'd be just storing it in a bottle anyway. Don't get frustrated with your panning. It must be about six or seven years since I first bought a pan but I'm only now learning to use it properly. We don't have the water so don't get to practise that often and some find it easy and some of us don't. I use a pan several times a week at the moment and practise makes perfect. I can now pan until all the black sand and lead goes and just leaves me clean gold if I want to persist although I usually don't. I find it easier to finish the last bit in the kitchen using a breakfast bowl and tea strainer while Mrs M is out. My fines just go with the last of the black sand into a bottle for processing later.
