[QUOTE="AussieChris, post: 378680, member: 4915"] I found some colours cleaning out the front loader washing machine filter after a season of prospecting, it was mostly really fine all 100-200 mesh fly poop size but what got me was there were around 40-50 specks. There were a few bits around 18-25 mesh at a guess plus some tiny little zircons and bits of ironstone smaller than match heads and also for a laugh $9.80 in loose change, enough to boggle the mind a bit. I had never properly cleaned the filter before, I didn't even know it pulled all the way out like it did until the missus said the machine was giving an error message on the LCD display. No wonder it was giving her trouble, I'll never forget the smell of the trapped water either! I figured it came from material caught in rolled up jean cuffs and woollen socks while high-banking and digging out some pretty deep holes at the time, the washing machine drum basically becoming a trommel lol.
