    Fascinating, I was wondering yesterday how much gold was in the Columbia when we we driving to the Bridge of the God’s. There was a massive landslide there that blocked the river completely and made a giant lake. I began wondering how much gold gets dumped into the river. Where is it now? Great video and beautiful gold.

      Well if you take it down to the Columbia be careful sometimes the waves coming into the shore are 2 feet high Especially if a big shipping ship comes through they make massive waves.

      Most of it is from deposits that were in the river before the dams were put in. Material is also moved every time they dredge the river and take the tailings out into the ocean just outside of the beach

      I tried the blue bowl, & wasn't impressed with the results. No matter how slow I ran it (I ran er so slow that the thing was left to recirculate ALL night long! The next morning there was still a ton of black sand!) it blew the really fine gold out. Perhaps I wasn't doing something right.
