Well, it's not as much in fines for either of us; I'll see what the Miller table produces. I am going to weigh it tomorrow and also split them with my 40 screen. Did you see the new Randy Clarkson pdf under Hard Rock mining here on TN? More info on the rod mill and flattening gold.
I am going to have to get back to seeing if I can get my rpm's up to 70--80% of the critical speed now that I got the motor Ducky sent to me through you; a big thanks to both of you. He also used another mill 12" long with slightly better results (still 8" diameter). And he gave the count and diameter of the rods in the mill; lots more info not only on this but sluices in general, tables, all to recover more of the gold in the ore/pay dirt.
