I watched a national news story tonight about a man who was diagnosed with mercury poisoning. Wasn't enough info, but the guy
was a credible business exective type. He said he ate at least two meals of fish per day (ocean varieties) because he heard fish was healthy.
His main symptom was loss of balance. After treatments?, he said he was about 75% recovered, but probably be never 100%
again. :unhappysmiley:

Not trying to make you look bad to others.
but if you have an easer faster and cheaper way to recover number 45 screen flour gold.

Please let me know, i wiil send you a ground sample of the ores free of charge, that way you can see and get some hands on.
I dont think you can recover this type of gold in a dredge or sluice it would blow right on out.

I have looked at other ways to recover my values but all were to exspensive. $3000 or more for $1000 in gold.
I dont know how you could get flour gold out of concentrate, I cant do it without Hg.

If you got a better way by all means pleases share with me.
I have bought pounds of reading material on this subject, but none has an affordable or safer way than using Hg, for the small miner to still make proffitt.

Thanks

blue bowl no way, wheel got one no way, ive have an rp4 wave table a fantastic tool, but it only makes a concentrate that has so much gold locked up in the heavys. that you can not smelt, that would
be a disaster, ( high speed chemistry bad news )

And trying to process a 5 gallon bucket of material concentrated off of a table in a pan.
Im a decent panner but thats a lot of cons. no way

I can send you a sample to play with then you might have a little more idea of the material im working with.
your reply sounds to me like you may have never dealt with this fine of material.

Thanks
 

Not to be argumentive or anything, the Bazooka Gold by itself will get 100 mesh, and the Blue Bowl will get 200 mesh and smaller. Gold is retained in my Blue Bowl that is so small and feathery that I can't see it until there is the accumulation of several runs.

Even salt gets a bad rap as it has some properties in it that is bad for you. rwd mo
 

I am playing nice and am not the only person who knows that the size of gold described has viable affordable recovery options other than Mercury.
 

Easy pvillehunter, just trying to lighten the mood. Getting a little testy in here. You and astro always have the hard facts to back you up and most of us know this. So let's go easy on the less informed and take the high road when they get insulting ok? When I get through astros vid (wow an hour long!) I will finish reading this thread.
