[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 256152, member: 3111"] I'd probably start off with classifying out material with something like the link below but using a bucket to catch the goods. There's a very small chance that diamonds can fracture under the heat changes but unlikely. I bounce around in a lot of asbestos, wet certainly is the key but still doesn't help as it tends to get dry the further you get in unless you have a supply of water to always soak it. Keeping in mind full safety such as protective dust and fibre mask, strong gloves, even eyewear if you want, and handle it very slowly. I find it easier to gently move sheets in mass rather than singulary to prevent excess fibres too. If I think there's too much asbestos or too much movement, I am simply forced to leave ( bury ) it. The gold and alloys should scream rather obvious using a detector, one with at least iron discrimination will prevent too much noise, but burn sites are hell noisy no matter what, lots of copper and alloy. But if they can point out a rough area, it shouldn't take long, mabey all of it survived you never know! Good luck and sorry that your mate and partner had this loss Basic portable classifier: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VBsFp6mjqE[/url] [/QUOTE]
