[QUOTE="Matt80, post: 108692, member: 3461"] I'm still pretty new to all of this but on Jethros lines I would suggest crushing and classifying some of those last rocks down as far as you can. It's a little like some of the stuff I get up here and there is a fair amount of gold in it, but it is insanely fine so normal panning will just lose it all. So crush, classify (down to 100 mesh if you can) and either pan it really carefully and use a magnifier or use something like a blue bowl running really slowly to see if you have anything. It can be a lot of time and trouble to classify all the way down to 100 mesh but it can be well worth the time when you see a specs of near invisible gold gather into a glittering stream and golden pile. Still if you can find a mother-load nearby then stuff this stuff and get the big stuff first :) [/QUOTE]
