Clint's right about putting the fines in little bottles...one additional thing you can do is put glycerin in the bottle with the flakes...it helps magnify the gold plus makes it float around slow when the bottle is tipped back and forth....if you are going to sell your fines NEVER melt them...it makes them almost impossible to sell and if you can you're lucky to get 50% of spot...just clean them really really well, get all the nongold out...and try to get spot...usually gold buyers will go 80%.....But if you follow the advice of Clint re the little bottles, you can end up getting 3 or 4 times spot if you have patience and work at it.....good luck, Ron
