It's very hard to recover fine gold or flour gold maybe I can help with issue. Some times gold floats due to clays oils from vegetation. don't worry buy an inflatable kids pool and fill your bucket full of water and let the clays and dirty water wash your gold out of the bucket into the pool by swirling the matirieal around with your hand and tilt the bucket so that the gold washes out. then use my method in this link with a pump to recover it http://www.goldprospector...munity/Forum/aft/939

Add dish soap or dishwasher treatment (jetdry) to your water, this will help floating gold by breaking down the surface tension allowing small gold to drop. Bill

Yes dish soap does work a little but my post is about allow the clays to float fine gold out of your bucket into a small pool and later recovering the gold from your pool. This method is used in large scale mining operations, I just shrunk it down for us lil guys/gals.

DO you treat it with Muriatic Acid afterwards?

This is very interesting. We've been panning through some paydirt and gotten some really nice concentrates, but I'm still working on a way to clean these flakes up as much as possible before melting it down. Any advice?
