Sheet in stream to catch gold

reptwar1 · Aug 31, 2015

Anyone ever heard the stories about old timers stretching sheets across streams to catch fine gold dust? I have read it on several sites but now cant find any of them. Reason Im asking....just got off the phone with a guy that did something similar and caught just over an ounce of gold in 2 weeks. The guy then told me that his contact with USGS informed him that every 24 hours, $16,000 in suspended flour gold flows past the town that we live in. That price was in the 60's when gold was $30 an ounce. Allow me to adjust for current gold prices... Ready?...$541,560 EVERY 24 HOURS!! Now you see why I'm interested lol

Lol I just got my gold cube in the mail, and ran it last night...phenomenal!!!!! BUT.....I'm already, planning to coat it with Vaseline for the microns. Damn....I just don't want to have to burn my cube to recover the fines lol BUT....I know they are in there. Way more than the visible stuff!

I'm thinking, just coat the last 2" of the top slick plate.
I too have a cube and it already catches some of the "invisible" yellow stuff. After I spend 2-3 hrs panning the black beach sand from the cube to recover the visible -150, (I pan it for the challenge and to keep my skill level up (see my video) , then I run all the leftovers on my miller table.
Every 5 spoon fulls I scrape the deck and make the invisible visible. I won't doubt the science nor the speculation nor the proven facts..... Worth the effort or not worth the $ recovered....it's the challenge :notworthy:

Lol I see it the same way...panning is always practice for the big game lol

Mike swWash... Your location looks awesome! Great video and panning! If you put the grease on top it will catch gold that the cube will catch. Maybe aa coating on a slick plate under where everything exits the gold cube?

Was wondering why this thread was so many pages, then realized it was
from a single member posting one-line responses in post after post, some
less than a minute apart.

Is there some prize offered for artificially jacking up ones post count?

Well, I've read the entire thread, had a good laugh, and now it's time to go
back to reality.

I'm thinking maybe because some people are dizzy and just don't get it? They criticize continually even after reading verified facts. I think its called being detached from reality?

He is dizzy because he has a medical condition. this is getting out of control. How old are we?

Here is a dam build after a rain. small stream so low flow despite the water.
