[QUOTE="sand surfer, post: 628552, member: 7418"] I use the same technique as rust g ,but i also use a rare earth magnet put about 1/4" to 1/2" depth of water in the pan and shake the pan side to side gently to spread the material evenly over the base of the pan as thin as possible (one layer of material) get the rare earth magnet and place it in a plastic bag ,and sit the magnet on the top of the water wave the magnet over the material don't try and do the whole pan at once ,i use a garret gold trap and move the magnet from one side to the other ,then put it over a flat dish and remove the magnet from the bag and drop the black sands, check the sand for any gold that it has picked up the idea of the method is that the gold ,if any is picked up with the black sands will fall out of the sand before getting stuck in the sand on the magnet, ie 1/2" water and skim the magnet i bought my magnet a few years ago and i can not remember what strength it is ,i think it is 5kg hold and is 1.5" diameter by about 1/4" thick you can get them from (amf magnetics) just google amf magnetics [/QUOTE]
