    Gorgeous country. You may have more gold in that than you think. Several people including myself, have tried using the Cube for the fine micro hard rock gold and found that it can’t catch it. I screen the material down to 100, 125 and 200 mesh and use “Hard Rock University’s fine gold panning technique to recover it. You can’t see the individual grains of gold with the naked eye but if you use his technique, you can tap the gold into a bunch you can see and snuffer it up. When I get about a gram, I smelt it into a button. You would be surprised at how much of that micro gold is all around us.

      Another method is go to the channel ask Jeff Williams. Lookup gold retort and how you use a small ball mill or gem rock polisher from harbor freight. You put mercury in it with your fine gold and then you take the amalgam and heat it in the retort. I like it cause you catch all the mercury and you waste nothing.
      But the mbmmllc channel has a large shaker table. I have wondered if a large shaker table would catch super fine gold. I’d assume so since they’re pulverizing the material very small.
      I once heard the Spanish would put mercury on copper plates and it’d stick to it.

      I remember Jeff Williams mentioned surface tension and jet dry cause gold can float. I wonder if using jet dry would make the gold cube more effective for super fine gold.

    Coat your cube with rainx and you won’t have to use a tooth brush to remove air bubbles 👍

    6 months ago was around the end of Feb and I guarantee you the Wasatch Mtns were covered in 6-8 ft of snow. . . How old is this video and where did you film it ? ?

      The hike was last Summer but I didn’t get around to crushing the rocks until Fall then didn’t assemble the video until when I released it. Hope that helps.
