[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 628427, member: 5729"] Once you do 500 pans you will have the swing of it, the gold will sit still while you gently swirl the black sand away, I often wash the black sand out the back of the pan once I get a spoon full free of gold. Having two snuffer bottles also works one for Gold and one for black, just suck it up as you swirl it free. I bought a blue bowl, excellent tool :Y: but these days I can swirl the pan and clean the gold with ease. Biggest tip...... don't over fill your pan, once your down to black sand and heavies it needs to be less than half a cup of material , any more and it will drive you bonkers, best if it's only a couple of spoon fulls and you need about a spoon full or two of water , when you have the material settled in one corner of pan, you only want to swirl waves of water just strong enough to move black sand and leave the gold. Its all practice. [/QUOTE]
