[QUOTE="calala, post: 32823, member: 1211"] Nugget your correct with that burning of pans. An old prospector from Uralla showed me how to prospect back in 1973, metal pans were covered with oil to stop them rusting in the shops. The new pan was heated in a fire to (1) burn off the oil and (2) when cooling it off it would be plunged into water to hold the black colour from the heating. Gold colour would stand out against the dark background better. cheers John. [/QUOTE]
