My final felt run was completed. After running this years concentrates 7 times, my 7th and last felt run got 0.1 gram of gold. My purpose of this experiment was to see if felt could be used in the final cleanups of concentrations from gold prospecting. I was pleased with the results. Not only will felt bite and hold a lot of gold, but please look at how tiny some of the micro gold it caught. Could felt be used to clean up cons? Absolutely!
To remove a good percentage of tiny micro gold? Absolutely!
Could it be added as an extention to your sluice? Absolutely!
Could it test your tailing for gold loss? Absolutely!
After all my concentrates were reduced to -50 mesh, the felt managed to get one gram of gold out of the pre-run 10 gallons of original concentrates. What are your thoughts? Any other uses come to mind for your set-ups? Let me know.
I guess you just never get it all!
Notice how tiny some of the micro gold is which the felt caught!
Again......very microscopic.
