I usually go out and dredge and run my cons through a gold cube. I then stick them in a bucket and wait until winter to process them.
I just realized I have nearly a full 5 gallon bucket full of "super cons" from the gold cube. I do not wish to pan all this and was wondering if I can rerun these super cons through the cube and get " super-duper cons"? Or will I risk loosing a bunch of gold?
Thank you
 

Just to be safe, I'd run the material through the GC twice,
although it probably isn't necessary...but I'd still do it.
 

Some and probably many rerun the tails from the cube anyway. By rerunning super cons you will probably end up with some to much less material to final process for gold recovery. Check the tails to see if you need to rerun them. I wish I had your problem.

If you have a GC, re-run as suggested. Then run the results on a Miller table built as AzViper shows how. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/gold-prospecting/400309-making-miller-table-using-rubber-mat-surface.html
 

In fact, run them twice there, too.
 

if you rerun your cons on the Miller table on the second run , screen them smaller and slow the water speed. your recycleing the cons anyway so your not gonna lose anything except a little more time unless you make/buy a autofeeder and let it do the work!
 

Yes, you can and should do this. That is exactly what Red and Mike (the inventors and both great guys) would tell you to do. You will go from 5 gal to 3 cups in just a few minutes. Wham, gold!

Have fun with it!
