Processing serious flour size gold, working with super fine gold Options

[jackragusa]

I read a lot about folks working with a Blue Bowl on very fine gold, but I find it's much slower than just panning . Besides, the seriously fine golds also works it's way out of the blue bowl even under the slowest workable speeds. I have a large bucket of con.s I would love to go thru and I am sure the gold is there but the labor of just panning is just not worth the time. Other than a wave table or a shaker table which is obviously way too expensive to balance out, what choices do I have. Even if there was say an ounce to an ounce and a half of flour gold in the bucket, I would still be making only half of min. wage panning it and I do ok panning. But with panning this size gold, you have to go thru everything three times to insure you didnt miss anything. So please HELP....

i wish i had your problem! haha i screen all of my material atleast to -30 mesh. i have screens down to -200 but dont use them very often. there is no 1 peice of equipment thatll do it all in one shot. my proccess is, after screening and setting them in seperate piles i like to remove the black sands from them with my magnet and set it of to one side aswell.i used to pan it down to "close enough" and put them into another container to run them across my small Miller Table . but now i just got my Gold Cube and im planning on running the cons across this and then see if i need to use the Miller table to finish up.i miss a lot of the real fine stuff(like most people!) the bigger peices are EZ to pick/pan out from the +20 or bigger material!going the extra mile and screening your material down to the smallest screen you have will help you speedup and retain more gold faster. i also have a Blue Bowl but i dont use it much. i expect a lot of use from my Gold Cube this year due to a lot of friends!!!:):)
