[QUOTE="TenOunce Tone, post: 71200, member: 288"] Keep on seiving it down until you find that most of the gold is getting through and the sands etc are staying behind. At that level of fineness you could invest in a loupe or decent magnify glass and then separate with a nail file or something. If I have gold that fine, I dry out the gold bearing sands, spread them out on a sheet of light blue paper then check with a loupe, I then use a plastic cuticle stick that I liberated from my daughters room to separate the gold from the sands. this is tedious work but it works. here is a pic of the the results. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/288/1397350007_picture_04_fine_gold.jpg[/img] It is quite amazing how fine the gold can be, this sample above shows about half micron and smaller. Good luck with it. Cheers, Tone [/QUOTE]
