T-2,
I'm in the U.P. of Michigan and wonder what you have used, that works best on flour gold, we have a lot of black sand with some real find gold, dredges or high bankers brands?for the streams. found a little gold in the tailing's from one mine, not impressive, a buddy found another mine and crushed some tailing with fools gold, when panned said he got a decent amount of gold out of it, there is going to be a big mining boom here in the next couple years, one company is trying to get its permits now, many people fighting it but if it goes through, i think many companys are waiting because of the new Michigan regulations. the first company is set up for 6 more mines in
Marquette and Baraga countys, another one here in Menominee is doing a lot of test drilling, a buddy [cop] talked to the drillers an was told this mine will be one of the biggest gold strikes in the states in a long time, but its under a popular lake, camp and camping area, anyways I'm planning on hitting the streams with the continued searching the woods for the old mines and gold

Grentlemen, as I mentioned once, with a table, simply place a sheet of thin plastic covering the surface attached to, and above the inlet side.. It floats upon the surface and all micron etc. gold which is now under it will be forced to the bottom for collective action instead of simply floating off with the surface trension of the water. It increased our operating efficiency to the point that it alone, paid the basic operating expenses simply from the recovered fines which were going to the tailings..

:) That is a good helpful tip, thank you for sharing the info. Needle
 

Your talking of a dampener of some sort right?

Yes Eu, that was my understanding of what I read. Placing a thin sheet of plastic on the upper end of a shake table with the water and ore material running under it would break the water tension or surface tension and cause the smaller gold to settle and not be carried to the tailing pile. That is a good useful tip. Needle :)
 

Hey Needle I know very well what a dampener is. ;D
I have heard that it is effective though never tried it.
 

Don: I think he was referring to equipment. But a warning should be issued when Torching Black sand as some has TOXIC ORE in it which can be a serious problem if you want to stay healthy. :icon_study:
