I have a small seasonal creek here on the place that we load up buckets of material mixed with lumps of blue clay and throw into a cement mixer . We add detergent to aid in breaking up the clay and let run until its like a slurry then pan or run threw the sluice . Gold mostly small but an occasional picker and small nuggets .

You might have to use something like Microsoft paint to reduce the photo size as there's a limit on each photo, not sure how many megabytes they can be.

Interesting gold. Some of it appears right off the lode and others appear well traveled.

Nice gold and I'm impressed with how you've developed a process that works for your deposit. Pro.
