Man.....it is HOT! I spent 6 hours in the water non-stop to stay cool today. Got some coins, junk, a working Bic lighter and a couple of earrings.

This gold is from yesterday. The concentrates from the sluice get put through a kitchen strainer, then on my micro sluice (1/8" - V matting 4" x 30") which catches about 95% of the flour gold along with some black iron oxides. I then back pan these, to get rid of the remaining black oxides, then suck up the flour gold in my Garrett snuffer bottle.

Busy couple days, nice color in that pan. I hope to go prospecting soon. We get mostly find small flakes but a picker once in a while.

Nice ear rings and flour gold, John. Hoping to get into the water after labor day. My elderly mother just came home from the hospital and I have to have ear surgery tomorrow. Hoping by the end of next week to have my at/pro ready to go and hoping to post some nice finds.
Hope you hit a pocket of rich gold, but your flour gold is impressive. HH.
