[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 147771, member: 2152"] After cleaning out the Highbanker I had a huge amount of heavies. I'll get some pics up of what that looks like in a pan. These sorts of cons are best left cleaned up at home or with patience on site into a seperate large tub. It's amazing how small the gold is to extract, it often floats and is best taken in small amounts and time taken. It is easily washed over the edge of the pan for even very good panners. Other options may include a blue bowl or Miller table. You can easily end up with 100s of specks of fine gold in very heavy black sands. I have found a nice strong magnet will draw alot of the heavies out. I use ones from a computer hard drive inside a thick plastic drinking cup. This allows you to remove the magnet and let the heavies fall away without corrupting the magnets. [/QUOTE]
