I have been doing a lot of digging dirt, classifying into a 5 gallon bucket... I started to wonder, if I had say a half bucket of dirt, and filled it with water,
and sat it on a shaking table of some sort, wouldn't all the gold make its way to the bottom so I could scoop off most of the dirt and not worry about missing any of the gold when I run what's left? |

I dunno, I have seen concrete vibrators at work, and it seems that one in a bucket would do wonders. Stratifying more content.
