Seems odd to me that the pan has 'gold' (?) way larger than the apparent black sands ( iron), but no small gold. How did the iron remain retained but no fine gold? A bit of a hydro dynamic conundrum.

Is it possible that the black sands stay on the bottom of a plastic pan by a magnet leaving just the course or picker gold that did not get flushed or washed out of the pan?

Looks like close to the source material to me that does not have that much fine values with it. Thanks for sharing.

I was showing another gold pic addressing his above comment. This guy is a drive by poster,... Usually one stupid comment in a thread interrupting a good conversation. Then he moves on to another thread!
