[QUOTE="Rusty_G, post: 628408, member: 6843"] I don't have to go through huge amounts of super fines but I find using a large based pan (Garrett Super Sluice 15") very much helps to spread out the material. So basically I shake the fines down (classify out the larger bits) down to the edge, with a smallish amount of water in the pan. Then shake side to side in small movements level the pan out and spread the material. Then tap up the gold to the edge (ensure the tapping hand is 90 degrees to the other hand [don't hold at 6 and tap at 12]), do so gently so the gold is pretty much all that moves, using a clean snuffer bottle, pick up that gold line. Repeat the process until all gold is removed from the pan. Empty the mostly clean (never get it perfectly clean first go) gold out of the snuffer into the pan (clean it well 1st), then repeat the process. After 2 runs you should have it pretty darn clean! Hope this helps! (Or watch this:[url]https://youtu.be/PnBSn-BHzOU[/url]) [/QUOTE]
