[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 522439, member: 9124"] Compaction in the bucket is totally normal. Especially if traveled and left for a time. If you see the material separating in the flare area easily by water flow, . You have no problems. Same thing can happen at the bottom of the pan if not panning correctly. Very common occurrence in sandy silt materials. Over classification when panning can lead to this as well. Two or three bonka sized rocks can help prevent this when panning. Keeps material loose, and allows the gold to settle to the bottom. Compaction of material dose not allow this to happen easily [/QUOTE]
