[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 422728, member: 4386"] Moeee, isn't your black sand magnetic? Can't you simply dry it completely then get rid of the black sand with a magnet? I find that once I have it concentrated in the pan. by gently tipping it back and forward so that the sand gently washes out over the lip, I can get rid of most of the black sand without losing gold (practice a bit, letting it wash out into another pan so you don't lose the gold if you muck up). It hugely reduces the amount of black sand that you have to then deal with (more than three quarters at least of the volume you show yourself working with). [/QUOTE]
