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 just discovered that you can hold an iphone up to a microscope eyepiece to take pictures!
I've been wanting to post pictures of some blonde sand that I've been finding in my Desert Fox cup. This stuff is a super fine slurry and is yellow/cream colored. It doesn't act like gold yet it still defies the laws of gravity and manages to make it to the cup. I think I see a microscopic piece of gold in it. I don't know what all the other stuff is.... What's in YOUR sand? Post 'em if you got 'em For those who are really into sand, check this place out : http://www.paccd.cc.ca.us/instadmn/physcid...SAND/SANDHP.htm If there is interest, I'll post more.
