[QUOTE="boobook, post: 191201, member: 1605"] I have been told that diamond has an affinity to grease. The method told to me by an old Bingara prospector was to make a sluice from cut 2ft. wide pieces of Gal. iron with the corrugations running across the sluice. The front and top of the corrugations was smeared with a heavy grease/tallow mixture and the gravels washed over it. Diamond stuck to the grease, all other material straight over. That don't help much though if you ain't got water! Mike [/QUOTE]
