Hello, So here's some things I'm messing with, since my arrival in the PNW.

Got on some cemented stuff along a beach somewhere. I have to get an impact mill going for any of that. Lot's of fine gold and platinum.

Then a beach creek gave up some goodies as well. Giving up some chunky gold for where I'm at. With some crystaline platinum (not in pictures) and what looks like chunky bits of copper maybe. A good bit of amalgam. A nice amount of fine platinum come out too.

So the other chunky bits, just looked like dirty gold, the more I looked at it. Smacked a big bit between two hammers and it delaminated into two flakes, a fleck and a bunch of fines (when I rubbed them in a pan). So that was a nice change.

hfm ,You did well BUT I'd cut back a little on you soap in your tub . This soap can cause your fines to float out ! I used to use my 4 teir device like yours a lot ! I meet Mike Pung at the gold show in Missouri a long time ago and had many phone conversations with him ! He's a Good Guy!

That's great advice :) Thanks.
