    Hey there Chris, great results, What you need to do is pan up to about a half a cup full and throw that into a bucket. Do this for the rest of the day. Don't show us, then put all of your concentrates into the pan and finish off. Give it a go. I did that for a week once and it was hard but it blew me away when I saw the end results.

    A little sanity in a insane world. Good breakfast. Reminds me a lot of Arizona gold. We have flash flooding here in the desert and our gold comes in layers. A good layer followed by long dry spell. So we have a layer which during flood gets washed down and them another. Unless it's shallow bedrock you can dig way down under (no pun intended) and never find but a few specks. However along the first 3-4 inches lots of speck count. Good video, scratch your pups hiny Right above her tail, they can't scratch there so they love it. Good day.

    Because, I was always told to look for quartz to find the gold.

    • @VoGusProspecting
      @VoGusProspecting  3 роки тому +1

      Quartz is the second most common mineral on earth. Its silica.
      Quartz is not an indicator of gold. It must have other things with it, such as iron, to become an indicator.
      So yes, there is a lot of quartz in our pans but 99.9% of it is not woth looking at.
