Cleaning some black sand with the blue bowl and a little ball of mercury to help . Then I clean the gold out of the mercury with Nitric Acid mostly flour gold a lot of steps but great recovery . The little bottle is like grey mud its loaded with gold . All mercury recovered from the south fork of the American river . I also use a sniffer but the mercury picks up the flour gold and leaves the dirt behind . All back yard gold Kelsey California .

Nice! When you say the mercury was recovered from the river...does it show up in your pan?
