[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 421535, member: 7956"] For the very reason it attaches to gold. Stampers would use it on a big metal bed, it would capture the small gold they had trouble keeping a hold of. They would then separate the two and re use the mercury, but some always made it's way into the streams. Just leave it in the vial, not worth the effort to extract unless you had a vegemite jar full. Very dangerous stuff, don't try to burn it off to collect $2 of gold. [/QUOTE]
