[QUOTE="MikeB05, post: 251410, member: 7270"] Goldengoose wrote "Black sand is plentiful, finding a viable way to extract all the color might be a bit harder". Is this why the old timers used mercury to bind to any available gold no matter how minute...then kept the mercury in water and then when it had enough gold attached in an amalgam...they would burn off the mercury and "viola" a speck of gold????????? :) [/QUOTE]
