Final Clean Up Tip - Getting black sand out and cleaning gold.

[goldhog]

I was FINALLY able to put this on video in a way I think ALL can understand, and practice.
A SIMPLE way to clean your final cons and get 99% pure gold, removing black sands.
What you can't really see in the video is that there is a ton of -50 mesh and 100 mesh gold.
The smaller the gold the easier it is to do this.

Things to remember....

1- "Slam on the brakes", let the inertia do the work.
2- Hot water and a little Jet Dry.
3- Tap only when gold is underwater.
4- Make "green space".
5- Do a few tablespoons at a time.

Once you perfect this method, clean up of super cons is VERY quick.
I did upload in HD if you want to watch full screen.

Thanks...
I'm SO glad this one came out the way it did.
I think it really puts that technique in such a way that all can learn it.
Funny.... only had to do one edit on the entire thing.
Think I coughed up a hair ball at one point.

This is the area where I struggle. It can be tedious and you can't use brute force, got to use some finesse. Now you showed me how.

Thanks for your great cleanup tip.

Good job Doc, this really is a good video of gold separation from black sands. With a little practice this technique works very well.

Thanks Doc,
Mike

Thanks for sharing.
I know after watching your videos on your site it was way easier for me to pan your cons I received.
This technique gets all the small stuff with ease.

Great technique, I use it all the time. I'd add that you should classify before inertial panning. Works much faster than. I use inertial panning for the -50 material. Above that traditional panning is faster for me...but only because I've removed the -50 material and the magnetic material too.
