Hello Everyone. Just posting a link to my latest video on my youtube channel. It is a lesson on how I clean up my gold cons. Part of a 6 part series on cleaning gold cons.

Something to try, if you tap your gold towards the riffle side of the pan, you can back wash the black sand and then pan the it out the back side instead of using the sucker.

Reconsolidate and repeat.

You have to drain the water from the gold first. Beware, pickers will slide downward if your not careful. That allows you to not have to use a sucker bottle for the black sand or the sucker for the flour that migrates to the lower portion of the pan.

I will do that sometimes. I think I do it in one of these two videos. But what I don't like about that is I have to disturb where the gold has settled and stratify everything after washing off the back side. With the sucker bottle I can just continue if everything is still moving well.

Thanks for your input. I do appreciate feedback.

Good to see you found your way to the forum! I watched a lot of your videos when I started out prospecting a few years ago and it really helped me a lot, especially to develop my panning technique. Could say that it was becasue of your videos that I found my first gold!

Very nice camera work. But...More than 10 minutes for that one pan? Keep working on your tools and technique my friend; you still have much to learn.
