Flour gold question.

[Mine Shaft]

I am sure its been asked before but here it is again lol. When i pan my creek sand/dirt Mtr'l will the fine stuff stay in the bottom lip of the pan ? i am being very careful when i get to the black sand, thinking i seen some color moving around but i am not sure. I am new to this but did the "Knotts Berry Farm" gold test and it stayed right where it should of. Went out yesterday and got 40lbs of Mtr'l sure would like to see color in this batch lol. Thanks for any input.

Yea that’s a good ( generally) area. There are some old posts. I’ve never been out there. Any water running?

Yes lots of water, have not been to EF, where i was today i thought i would see lots of worked areas but only a couple very surprised, that place is loaded with black sand lots of potential.
