[QUOTE="Goldtalk Leonora, post: 618810, member: 5638"] The water has no bearing on the SG...with all respect to the fella who did the video. The water is used to create the right environment that allows the 'physics' to work and for the heavier bits and pieces to drop out. The fancy name for panning is 'wet gravity concentration'....the water is the 'lubricant' that allows the dirt particles to seperate and 'fluidize' and then gravity does it's thing with the heavies dropping out. Same thing in a dryblower...or .."dry gravity concentration'....the air and vibration creates the environment for the gold to drop out. Once you understand the basics of gravity separation you can pan with a shovel....or anything else for that matter. [/QUOTE]
