So I classified my concentrates down to a par above flour gold, which we have a lot of here in Colorado. I still have a fine brown talcum clay powder material that seems to be as fine or finer than flour gold. The darn stuff is sticky and I can't see squat barely when I run my desert fox or even when I hand pan. Any advice would be much appreciated and thanks to all the help with my other posts.

I think I've encountered the same stuff. Does it almost have a pale yellow tint to it? I've gotten some mega super small pale yellow/blonde stuff in my Desert Fox cup that doesn't act like gold at all except it somehow managed to swim upstream and jump into the cup along with some black sand and flour gold. It's real hard to get out of the pan. I looked at some of it under a microscope and it's 95% shards of some sort of glass like material but it looks like there is also some microscopic gold scattered around along with some other interesting looking microscopic "nuggets". A spec of flour gold is huge compared to the material in this stuff. I'm going to keep all I find until I learn what to do with it.
