[QUOTE="Moth, post: 339607, member: 9882"] I have mentally pegged out the area I am going to sift, once finished I plan on going a few inches through the base clay, I might be mistaken, and will bow to you who are more experienced, but my thoughts are that due to their specific gravity sapphires will continually sink to the lower levels thus may be more likely be trapped in the clay rather than on top of it. Appreciate any thoughts on how to separate the wash from the clay as it seems to stick together in spite of washing. [/QUOTE]
