Well that is so far not getting you some colors. I say use the pan to find some color out in the field first then break some of the near by rocks with the use of the loupe to guide you. If you can't see it why break much rock hoping to see it.
Thanks, I plan o n moving from my kitchen to my new ShelterLogic 8x8x8 tent sometime next month. I'll have a bench in there, as well as shelves for things, and best of all, power, so I can run a hot plate it I need to roast or dry things out, as well as run a tornado type fan for ventilation.
I think I have read somewhere that a dime size exposure to this stuff can kill you…you should have a good chemical apron and chemical gloves with eye protection at the least…
So this is not a good idea to mix with any food.
The reason southfork wanted me not to throw away the rocks I already have at home is they may, even if it's only a couple of them, have some gold in them. I agree with him. I don't plan on going out into the field for another few days, as the rain forecast is persistent. Here in the desert, it usually doesn't sprinkle, when it rains, it's usually the flash flood type of rain, and I will not chance being trapped for days.I've already ordered a quality face shield, and have extra heavy cleaning gloves that you use when working with chemicals. I'll put an apron on order.
Why not take a trip out there.

Happy New Year. I thought Whink would use only about 1-2 percent by volume. I read this HF Acid was the strongest. I believe this and the Muriatic acid is fine for where I a m in the hard rock processing game. I don't want stronger stuff until I learn to use these.
Not a good idea getting any of the above near food. Use a different area for sure.
Also, any containers or utensils you use, are forever banned from use with cooking or food. I'm not a dummy when it comes to common sense and safety. I served 24 years in the Air Force, and part of my job as a supervisor/manager was safety. The big wigs sort of frowned on accidents preventable. Bad enough ones usually got those in charge fired.
I am sure the Wink is not as lethal as the full strength acid…I met a guy named Aldo I believe many years ago from Santa Rosa I believe…He had spent over $50,000 attending classes at Mackay…He offered to give me some of said acid and I politely declined his offer…
