[QUOTE="Swinging & digging, post: 442758, member: 2764"] Mercury use by recreational Prospectors does not go un-noticed by the green lobby. Around 10 years ago a US based green group had tests done on black sand concentrates at Dave McCracken,s home, which were found to have traces of mercury. Burning off the mercury like in this video is releasing it to the atmosphere, a retort would be better and safer, but i think use of mercury should not be encouraged in recreational prospecting. :o [/QUOTE]
