    Thank you Andynan. Looks good. I have two main questions which you might be able to help with: 1. What about gold trapped inside the black sands? - will this be liberated with the a furnace or acid? 2. What is the approximate cost? Regards

    Fine Gold Recovery information and questions

    Hi All, I want to process a fair bit of concentrate which I get from a HB. This is for a small prospecting operation which I am starting up. After putting the concentrate through a blue spiral bowl, how can I do away with the panning. Panning becomes the weak link as it is slow and I could lose...

    Fine Gold Recovery information and questions

    Thank you! I knew that there would be some good responses! But the gold at 5microns is about 1/20th the thickness of a piece of A4 paper... so it is hard to even see.... and lots of it too.

    Fine Gold Recovery information and questions

    Hi I was wondering if the greater knowledge here on this site, can give me some pointers on recovering super fine gold. In the order of 5-10 microns and less. Typically it is mixed with black sand and other common minerals like copper. Any help will be much appreciated... Have a great day

    Aldi Adventuridge Metal Detector

    Hi I have a couple of MineLabs, and when I tested the ALDI MD that I also bought, it worked well, and what the MineLab found, the ALDI MD found, as long as it was not too deep. It is a great MD for that price. My grandson will love it! I agree that the DISC and NOTCH either don't work well or I...

    Dargues Reef closure.

    Is it possible that as a group we can arrange a trip overseas to prospect, pan and have a look around... perhaps in Africa, or even one of the other off shore islands. It would be fun to share a week or two in an exciting place and see how they do it...
