Making up a batch of testing cons for a test we are running next week.
I was washing down these cons to dry them out.
Figured I stop and take a pic.
This is one corner of a large tub. (About 2 gallons of this stuff.)
Mostly -50 to -150 REALLY flat stuff. It just wants to float away...lol
This should be fun.

Be interesting to see the results, as up here we have a lot of that flatter-than-gold-leaf
stuff, and I've been looking at a switch to Gold Hog matting instead of the old school
expanded metal and carpet my old sluices have.

Keep us posted..

I started using Gold Hog Matting last year. It's great stuff. It really hangs onto heavies.

Thanks Dizzy...
Actually the gold in the PICS was already caught in the mats once.
We are rebuilding more cons for a final testing run on a new unit.
We do a "gold overload" run prior to releasing any unit for sale.
We run raw excavated material and seed it a VERY high gold rate to push the unit.
We'll be running dirt that is real heavy in clays and will have about 1/3 ounce of gold per ton.
Probably close to 80,000 pieces of gold since the stuff is mostly -50 to -150 range.
