Thanks @silversaver888! It is definitely a fun hobby.
Haha! Yep my neighbors have a bunch of goats... they were all excited for some reason.ππππ
Yep... basically just shake and wash. There's a few more tricks you can learn once you get better, but all you really need to do is stratify the material (by shaking) so that the gold drops down to the bottom and then you can wash away the top layer. Then just repeat the process getting more careful as you get to the last 2 cups or so of material.
These rocks came from a mine way out in the hills about an hour northeast of Barstow.βπ€ It was fun to check it out, but I know there are much better spots around the Barstow area. There's a few GPAA claims that I wanna check out that are supposed to be pretty damn good.
I saw your recent post with the "American Prospector" silver coins... I was drooling!! π I gotta try to get a few of those for myself. π°π°
