[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 221857, member: 357"] i think thats due to gold being so darn flat sometimes its surface area is able to support itself quite well, there are some black sands that do that but again its contaminated water, near mines sites, town drain inlets etc. Mercury works by grabbing the little bits and holding onto them like a long lost brother... basically absorbing them into the blob "my technical term" :) you need to agitate the sand and mercury for a good bond to happen, in fact if the gold is too contaminated it wont stick sometimes.
