See the fine gold thread in the Ask Kevin page.

IMO, a blue bowl will blow powder gold right on out.

Classify clear down to 100 mesh, and pan. The closer in size the material is in the pan, the easier it is to recover.

Miller table is probably the best bet for the weekend prospector.

HI, I have just rejoined. Yes the miller table is a good idea to collect powder gold. But did you know that gold is Hydrophobic . so there are secrets that are not on the books I collect powder quite easy . please let me know the general area where you get this material I am in Palm Springs area maybe we can be of mutual benefit .

Hi, You may have already found the information you are looking for, but for anyone who is still having trouble with the blue bowl, go to the prospecting channel website (prospectingchannel.com) and look for episode 15 in the programs section. Rob Goreham has a really good tutorial for processing concentrates that includes using the blue bowl. There is a link next to it where you can click to watch for free.

Hi Johan, I'm learning all that I can to add stuff to my tool box. Would you share your knowledge of the secrets not on the books. Information like that is valuable. I haven't gotten that far, still detecting and panning for now. I would like the information for future adventures.

May I join this conversation.
Any plastic, pans bowls ETC..
You really need to take some fine grit sandpaper and get that clear coating off of the plastic. It really does help. Keeps your gold from flying out

Hey Johan,
How about just sharing the information with the Forum. Let this guy keep his gold and you can just teach him your little trick.
