[QUOTE="Dron, post: 448091, member: 7074"] Not that it's normal, just that it might be normal for that spot. Some spots only have 'mustard' gold. 200kgs or 20 buckets to get 20 specks is fairly poor, I would try a different spot. Try a more targeted approach like test panning or crevicing. Buying a piece of gold off eBay and sneaking it into your Uncle's pan is called 'salting' a sample. Old timers used to 'salt' their claims to sell duffer claims to unsuspecting new chums, and it may have the unintended consequence of causing your poor uncle to waste more time in a spot that won't produce. Which state are you in? [/QUOTE]
