So, you hit more Hg also? I can tell by the pics the gold is post burn off. I hate the way all the fine stuff bonds. It doesn't let you see how much fine stuff there actually is. Glad we haven't got any mercury on the claim.(yet)

I appreciate the tips Goldwasher! That is one of the most green, shady, picturesque spots I have ever been! I need to move East 20 miles no doubt! I envy you and Hangtowndiggins living right on the lode!

Same here, these guys are legends! Only guys I've ever heard of that catch 100% of the gold they process, we should all at some point bare witness to there techniques that defy all logic, simply amazing stuff!!

In all fairness though nice day indeed from the pics, reminds me of me and my family at the claim, always good times!

We always lose a few percent and always throw the biggest piece back for good luck!

For real. What percentage of total weight are you really trying to say we are losing? I know that stretch of creek very well, I earned a living on it paid my bills spent 50+ hours a week on it. For the amount time spent digging and scraping the muck and clay. A bazooka will out produce any other stream sluice period shovel for shovel hour for hour.....only digging and shoveling no stupid classifier and bucket just bucket after bucket. The amount of black sands in this creek is ridiculous....very fine gold and or capture rate is well over 90% couple that with the amount of material we can run and we got any other stream sluice beat... besides the pickers we get once we hit the fractured bedrock outweigh any fine gold lost tenfold. John, Bill I'll see you next sunday for more fine gold loss and pointless shoveling:occasion14:
