GPAA MEMBERS, i KNOW YOU ARE HERE, HELP ME OUT!!!

I am in serious need of some help. I have worked the last week, 42 hours after 4 hours of digging 300+ 5 gallon buckets. buckets of pay after washing 4 feet of over bearing off pushing the pay dirt in buckets. I had to do a quarter bucket at a time. Using the bucket method as seen here Bucket method prospecting But with a screen bottom for the top bucket. 1/8 inch classifier. dump the material in and wash it out recirculating the water in a tub in the back of my truck with a faucet on the bottom so I can fill the bucket up again. This way capturing the micron gold, flour gold using soap so it sinks with the black sands. I dump a quarter bucket at a time then take the rocks that feel thru the screen and look for gold using my Saruca gold screen that I made looking like this one... youtube gold prospecting tool

I can run 300+ 5 gallon buckets in about 15 hours. I am now wanting to sperate the black sands from the flour gold and micron gold. What do I use. So far I think I ran about 30 cubic yards. So I have a ton of black sands with flour gold and even more micron gold. I picked my nuggets and have so far gotten $32 every cubic yard. I expect to increase take 30-45 percent. The ground was rich with the stuff and you can see the flour gold in the black sands. What do I use to extract the mircon gold. I want to do it fast. I already got most of the flour gold out.. Is ats smart in everything like me. )))


THANK YOU,

Are you familiar with using mercury for extracting gold dust from black sand? I had a friend many years ago, in Placerville California who swore by it. I can research it for info for you, if you'd like.

ETA: Here is a forum dealing with the exact problem you are dealing with regarding flour gold.

Thanks I have about 1300+ pounds of black sand using this method. I extracted some of the flour gold out of my stock pile + .

I am going to have to research this in depth.

My stock pile a huge gold mine. If I can extract all of the gold from them I could live off of it for a few years and really start to prospect again. I am definitly going to have to head for canada to do this though. Truck alaska, it is small time compared to canada. Even more so in Australia.

A few years prospecting, I could probably find a few spots that average more than 100+ every cubic yard.
