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

Hell, don't patent it!

CHSL..what we really could use is some detailed pics of the table, and the
process they used. And yes, that table construction is critical, so pics on
how to properly make it are important. Seeing as you're the only one that
has a table for this, how about coughing up some pics?

36 oz. from 55 gal. of black sand?

For those who didn't do the math, that works out to over 20 grams of gold
per pound of black sand.

A 55 gallon drum of black sands is roughly a ton. Your calculations are way off!

35oz = about 1200ppm or roughly a half gram per pound. Gezzzzzzz! How the heck did you get 20 grams per pound?

Yes we can patent the table but have no interest in doing so nor do we have any interest in sharing with recreational prospectors.

Well you can get a lot of gold if you have the know how, and the right equipment. John Arizona had a thread (that I can't find yet) where he was getting 1000 ounces per ton! I think it was in Arizona, a placer claim. He did get 22 ounces in a day.....there are pics....I don't know if it was the same thread....or that claim.
Hey, it ain't 36 ounces in less then an hour....but you gotta start some where!!

There is no set weight of black sands or amount of gold in it. there can be some reasonably expected minimums. Wet black sand weighs on average 28 pounds a gallon so 1540 pounds for a 55 gallon barrel. Dry black sand weighs less. A ton of black sand per barrel would be 181 pounds per 5 gallon bucket. 36 pounds per gallon. I've filled many five gallon buckets with black sand none of them were that close to 200 pounds. the numbers are going to vary by content of the sand. 20 pounds of - 20 pure magnetite just about fills a gallon milk jug. It can be bought for garden amendment.

My error..it's over 20g. per gallon of black sand. Plausible, but doubtful

Considering that about 99% of this forum are small-scale miners (there's no such thing as a
"recreational prospector"), and you've made it quite clear you look down your nose at small-scale miners,
what the hell are you doing here?

The original 36 oz claim didn't indicate whether it was 36 oz of gold or 36 oz of wishes and dreams. Could have been 36 oz of bananas. You were the one who assumed it was 36 oz of gold.

One gallon of dry magnetite weighs 43 pounds.

Didn't anyone notice whats wrong with the post? Other than what I've already pointed out of course.

Wasn't attacking just pointing out that you were incorrect in your post that was meant to prove me wrong.

Convert volume to weight: Magnetite

This one makes me laugh hard! All you do is share everything with us that YOU feel we should know but when someone asks you to share something your too good?? LOL!!!

 

[Goldwasher]

your calculator misses several aspects that affect the volume to weight ratio. A milk jug full of one gram nuggets will weigh less than a milk jug of minus 20 gold.
the link I shared is from a source that sell -20 magnetite their 20lb bag fills a milk jug. my whole point is that the weight of black sand can vary greatly.

Yes, your Honor, I am guilty of a grievous offense...I presumed. I have shamed
the family name, and will now fall on my sword..

But..before I do, the "bananas" reference gave me an idea. When picking blackberries,
I use my sluices as chutes for getting the berries to the bucket; often 2 or 3
of them combined are needed as I cut deeper into the patch.

This year I'm going to put a combination of fish oil, motor oil, and top it off with some
cold pressed hemp oil. These berries are growing on a riverside, high bench left over
from the glaciers, so maybe they're also full of gold?

All these years I've been making blackberry jelly..gotta wonder just how many
jars of berries-bearing-gold I've sold! (price is now $50 per 8 oz. jar)

Imagine that...golden berries...yeah, that's the ticket!

Oh yeah...back to falling on my sword..

 

[Oregon Viking]

Wait, is a coffee can the same size as a gallon milk jug?
Is the sand wet or dry?

[Goldwasher]

the 36 pound avg. per gallon is based on the fact that it is mixed black sands. hematite,magnatite, iron, iron pyrite,silvanite,chromite,scheelite,and lead carbonates all vary by area and affect that average.

As long as people have been discussing placer mining they have been discussing black sands. If we were allowed to share links to other forums I would post numerous that back up what I'm saying. There are numerous here who already know all of this and are most likely shaking their heads right now and nodding in agreement with me.I would say I don't understand why you lash out at people but, I have my own ideas why so whatever just keep attacking and insulting me and others. i don't expect it to stop.

It was you who originally tried to dispute how much a 55 gallon drum of black sand weighs and now you want to post something that would favor that our 55 gallon drum could weigh a ton?
