[QUOTE="Jeff, post: 535499, member: 12647"] Gday Shakey Jake. Most places I go that silver stuff will turn up. A couple of places its a bit of a concern- there was so much of it that it looked like a couple of stainless bearings in the concentrates in the pan. Had me puzzled. Its quicksilver aka Mercury, used in the old timers recovery methods. Thing is its usually attached to gold, so I keep it, but handle it with care. Aaand if you keep those contaminated bits with your other gold it will cover that as well. Make you wonder where all your golds gone :8 I put it all in a used bake bean can, make a small fire under it, walk away for halfa- this key- get the hell away from the smoke, obviously dont do it upwind of a preschool or your washing, upon return..... Mercury vanished. Its evaporated of, leaving your gold. [/QUOTE]
