Usually fed by mineral rich groundwater, Fens have unique plants and animals. Fens take thousands of years to deve...

    Came here after watching measuring SG of silver and gold coins. Coin guys use a square tank and a BASKET suspended into the water. The basket is easier to use than the string. Would be nice to see an experiment that shows how much results change if you drop the rock lower (more wet string). Rig a suspension over the cup to make it more stable, and don't dangle it from your wavy hand. Great video.

    I'm very proficient with the gold claw and believe me. Nothing gets out of it and you can do Uber a quarter of a 5 gallon bucket with the gold claw. You're just not using it right. Just like most other people that I find that have problems with gold claw. They're not using it right? The gold cloth gold pen is faster and better than my sluice box. I have given up all other Pans even the Turbo Pan that I used to use for the gold claw gold Pan. As well as giving up all of my slow sluice boxs.

    The washing machine agitation before the counter-clockwise motion looks like it gives the smaller gold particles the extra time they need to sink below the wash-out point after starting the counterclockwise motion that keeps dropping the gold and clears the lighter material . If your gold is 1/4 or 1/8 minus... I'm wondering if pre-classifing will be faster and speed up the process or be slower.

    Thanks for the share! I am just learning about SG and have filled my head with a lot today! Your video helped put it all into perspective. A few years ago I purchased several hundred gemstones from someone who was buying jewelry just for the gold. I stopped in one day and for $100 he sold me all of the stones (only a small handful of very small diamonds). You would be AMAZED to know all of the gemstones I’ve found (I went back one more time before he went out of business) some worth over $10,000! A 3mm purple, color changing, oval sapphire! Now, it’s time to test them I’m a silversmith and truly enjoy making jewelry but some of these gemstones are just too special for my style of jewelry. I’m grateful for your video and the knowledge that you’ve shared with me. It will definitely help me in determining if my $200.00 (total of two trips) investment in these stones is going to be a FABULOUS investment!!!!

      You may be right but the turbo pan eliminates the center problem area of Klondike pans, especially with thick clay sediment... in the middle of a Klondike pan the center of gravity stays pretty stable even when shaking hard... That's why you switch from agitation to dipping so much because in a full pan you cannot agitate the center very deep so you need to remove a little then agitate again... With the turbo pan you can swirl with great effect instead of just forward and back, side to side... The best technique is to get a pan done in under 2 minutes from classifying to the gold, without loosing gold... With the turbo pan when swirling one way you get gold stuck, the other way will quickly dump the lighter material while pushing the gold into the center pit. so instead of dipping off and agitation, you just swirl one-way, then swirl the other way... It makes everything much faster and that's a big deal if you can only use pans and shovel on a creek

    First you need to go counter-clockwise, so that when you stratify your material... it will be within the circle, then you can go counter-clockwise to spin off all the junk off the top,... then you repeat the whole process again until you're left with nothing but your concentrates, and no you don't need a second pan, if you do it right you can get it all done correctly the first time and you're done!.... by the way nice video thanks for cheering 😀👍
