    With us, the gold pieces can be found under 1 millimeter in the creek. Since I have about 20% loss over the pan. Check again and check again lol !

    There was no gold on the bottom of that glass bowl.
    I find that surprising because those bits of gold were HUGE.

    • @StoneyCreekSparkchaser
      @StoneyCreekSparkchaser  Před rokem

      My brother Moe! How’s everything going? I hope well :) yea I was disappointed with the gold not showing up better through the glass bowl. I really should of just used pebbles and no black sands because they didn’t show the gold at the bottom properly, but it’s in there. I’ve always wanted to do that and show how gold sinks, but honestly, people already know that. You make me do better, and I appreciate that. So I actually have a couple videos I’ve made that I’ve been working on last weekend and this weekend that I’ll be posting in the next couple of weeks that I’ll need your help answering some questions. I know you’re the guy that can help because you’ve taught me so much already and have studied a lot about gold and where to find it. I hope you find it interesting and learn some stuff with me. It has to deal with ancient creek beds. Anyhow, I hope you have a great day and I’ll talk with you later.

      @@StoneyCreekSparkchaser I think maybe the reason gold was not easlly observable was because the particle sizes were too variable.
      I think maybe if universal particle size was kept within a narrow range , then the gold would clearly be visible on the bottom - OR NOT

      @@mohammednovalija you’re absolutely right. I should of screened out the sands, then it would of popped. You’re not the only one that pointed that out. Sometimes my excitement of posting a video gets in the way of clarity. I know I saw it, and should of taken more consideration of what the video showed. I’m still learning this whole video thing, but I am getting better. Just like you are. You’ve been cranking the videos out as well recently. I have I think 5 to catch up on.
