    Your probably looking at at least $500,for starters.You crush it until powder (after checking for species)then pan it.

    If you're not looking for production do a search on ebay for a "Sore Thumb" rock crusher or any of the other small hand type rock crushers. You can make your own if you're handy like that.

    Our team of 2 was assembled in 1976 and we are still swinging and digging together. I cannot go if she cannot ride shotgun. Now we just have to wait for the grandkids to get big enough to join us.

    don't try this unless you are familiar with mercury,this is dangerous.if done right o.k. if not it's better to use a retort,and a lot safer.fumes can kill.
