Found this gold dust in 3 minutes

[reptwar1]

I live by the Arkansas river and dug out a crack in sidewalk, that is submerged when river floods. Literally took 3 minutes to collect this gold dust. It stuck to my dust pan, and I am wondering about ways to collect it. There are literally hundreds of more cracks for me to dig out. Thanks in advance

To those of you that are furious about this thread.... I asked about it due to my own curiousity, and was looking forward to hearing chlsbrns input, as SHE is very knowledgeable about it. It was never brought up to help anybody become fabulously wealthy overnight. I was simply asking for my own curiousity

By the time I get this response ready, this thread will probably be well past this point....but oh, well.

Biomass is organic matter derived from living, or recently living organisms. Biomass can be used as a source of energy and it most often refers to plants or plant-based materials which are not used for food or feed, and are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass. ...... Getting gold from cereal and bread using jelly will somehow help collect powder gold? Especially being that the linked article says that gold can be extracted from wheat and oat biomass. Biomass is not a food.

You're going by one definition of biomass. However, a form of wheat bread that "would" be biomass is old, moldy bread - no longer suitable for consumption. That said, cattails and weeds are also not considered "animal feedstock". However, a neighbor here feeds such to his cows regularly, any time his supply of the-cheapest-hay-he-can-find runs out. Therefore, it's difficult to accurately define an animal feedstock.
Both bread and many cereals, though intentioned for consumptive purposes, may also substitute as biomass. It sounds a little insane because it brings to mind someone going to the store, buying up fresh bread and cereal, then using it in this way. That's ludicrous, UNLESS you happen to be attempting an experiment and that is the most logical/convenient route to go.

the linked university study calls it biomass?And talks about using it and [h=1]sodium citrate and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide,..[/h]those words are directly from the link to the study. Not Clays words but, the study he shared.Talking about extracting the gold. Making a joke about toast and jelly is pretty funny actually because it is wheat and sodium citrate...and it brings it back to actually talking about recovering nano gold...very relevant if the op really does have it and is interested in possible method's.

Whether a joke or intentional, the same or similar ingredients apply, so who are we to say it DOESN'T work?!?!? Personally, I think it was quite clever!


In "my" opinion (not that it matters), Clay's posts are suitable. Maybe it would work; maybe it wouldn't. Maybe it was meant as a joke; maybe it wasn't. The one thing I do very much wish is, if someone is going to make a joke, to please make it an obvious one - like using the and emoticons, as well as making it verbally clear.

My 2 bits. ...Let's see, with inflation - oil prices - current political affairs....no, no - keep mistresses out of it! Ok, ok...this is my 1.367 bits worth!

LOL, several parts of cattails and many weeds are edible by man too.....

The similarities between mediums is clever...the picture of a cat with glasses is the joke....I figured that was kinda self apparent. ..

Yep - my bad there. I normally surf with images turned off to save on data usage. Guess I missed that one.

The boys cut their 4th of july week vacation short to build me a vibrating grease table from an old commercial sluice that we don't use anymore. Isn't that nice of them? Real miners rule!

They ran a test on a 55 gallon drum of black sands and the results were amazing to say the least! It took less than an hour to run and recovered over 36 ounces!

I'll be flying back tomorrow to see it in action!

 

[chlsbrns]

I'll be flying back to mine tomorrow. My brief vacation is over. We actually mine during our season so we can't be on tnet 24/7/365 like you recreational prospectors. I won't have time to post at all!

Im dying to see the grease table that the boys made especially the genius improvement. It is so simple and pure genius! Why didn't I think of that?

The few of you that were interested in this thread should continue to post!

Heck maybe if you eat enough cereal and whole wheat bread with strawberry jam you will need a method to recover the gold from your teeth! I suggest Vaseline! fish oil would be nasty!

Bummer

Be interesting to see what you come up with.......

I placed the one in the pic 1/4 mile downstream of the dam in hopes that when the generators are active, sediment will be stirred up. I placed another between 2 pilings another 1/2 mile downstream. I will collect and burn the burlap pictured next Sunday. The other, I will collect in 2 weeks and compare results, if any. Wish I had fish oil instead of vaseline

 

[kcm]

Water temps should be warm enough there that it shouldn't matter too much.

...Is it next Sunday yet?!?!?

 

[reptwar1]

Hopefully the warm water won't break down the viscosity of the vaseline

In californica all elements of life are know to cause or can cause cancer ........this product will expose you to *******, a chemical known to the State of California to cause [cancer, and] birth defects or other reproductive harm........

Can't wait for that state to fall off.....The lower half anyway.........................
