Raining today a good day to roast rocks ten minutes in the furnace and their ready to crush. It makes it easy to breakup into smaller pieces to feed the jaw crusher then a trip through the chain mill. I have found with our ores two trips through the chain mill increases our recovery of gold. Just pieces of float uncovered while raking and burning I just toss next to a tree to pick up latter. Some of large chunks gets tossed into the burn pile for a pre roast then single jacked into pieces that will fit into the small furnace. The black rock is a before the roast and reddish after, then dolly pot and a small line of micro gold to the left of the reflection. I have a bucket full to crush maybe I'll have some good luck Happy Mining

Cleaning the concentrates from my latest bucket of rocks. I'm guessing about forty pounds of material across the ribbed sluice. Extremely hard to pan the black sands are so fine and heavy even the mercury is having a hard time passing through. I just keep working it in the pan super fine gold particles are all through the concentrates takes forever to get a line to pick up. You can see the gold on the top of the mercury ball looks like gold paint.
Nice!
Great job
