Whats the best way to recover flake and super fine gold?? Since going to the Arkansas River and finding lots of fine and flake gold, its like herding chickens to recover it. So was wondering how to recover it?? Any help would be great.

Thanks for everyones input. I looked up Iodine leaching, making my own centrifuge and mecury amalgamation. None looked any good. So, went over to Salida, went to Rock Doc, with a sample. Guess what, its gold mica, value, nothing. What a waste. She gave me a class on gold, very good and worth it. Real gold dont float. Gold Mica does. Any way went on down to the Arkansas river and got some yellow stuff to remind me what gold will do and it aint floating.
So the trip was worth it. |
