[QUOTE="davsgold, post: 633264, member: 6570"] G'day Fishermandan Remember that gold is about 19 times heavier than water and the rocks and gravel and sand in your pan are about 2.5 - 3 times heavier than water. So gold is the the heaviest thing in your pan and the last thing to move when swirling the water back over the concentrates in the pan. Also add some dishwashing rinse aid or any surfactant to the water your panning with to break the surface tension and stop the fine gold from floating. This is what gold looks like in my pan.
