Willing to help

Hi Art, have you done a lot of drywashing ? I really like this type of prospecting. Ok CU later and God Bless

I have found more than my share of Placer Gold. It takes a little luck. You need to learn how gold gets to the river or creek in the first place and how it is moved when it gets there. There is two theories on how gold has moved to the rivers and creeks over the past millions of years. To understand this you need to study the geology of your area. As the vien is exposed to the elements ( freezing and heat) the host rock disenergates freeing the gold. It starts it's long trip down the mountain side aided by rain, snow and earthquakes. What happened in the Sierra Navada Range was a giant uplifting of eastern slope. Most of the gold bearing creeks and rivers were cut and ended up on the sides or tops of mountains. As new creeks and rivers were formed they cut some of the old system and released the gold while the rest of the gold had to wait on mother nature to move it. When gold migrates down a mountain it spreads out forming a rough upset down vee. This can be followed to the source. Gold has a lot of slight color variations. I am assuming it has something to do with the sourse. I have no idea of how gold moves in your area but I know  mother nature is the answer...Art

art3811:
What do you know about Recoverying Micron Gold from Gold Ladened @ $ .03-.05 per gallon (with Micron Gold, that is!) Rivers/streams!
I'm new, just finished building my recovery rig, I need more info, on how to recovery/leach, the gold from the resin/carbon filters!
I have a basic idea on how to "drop" the gold out...
BUT!
I now need more specific info, so that I can build the "leaching" rig/tanks !
If this "Son of a Gun!" Works,   
It'll sure beat, working for a living , for a lot of folks!
As there's plenty of Micron Gold out there ....
Even, In places like, Virginia, Ga., Mich., The New England States, etc.,
Until now, it WAS! unrecoverable !

Cptbil n' Bugs

Those "white" things, pointing upward, are the (15) filter housings.
They are made of, 3" x 18" pvc.
They are filled with a special, activied coconut carbon.
Which is of a polarity that attracts and holds Micron Gold.   
The/your "stream" is first assayed, to see how much Micron Gold is in it's water.
You'll get a "ppm"
Or! if you specifically ask,
How much! "cpg", cents per gallon !
Is in your/the water.
Clear, Clean (as possible) Stream water, is then pumped thru the filters ....
  After pumping awhile (?) the pump is stopped and the filters are "leached" of their Micron Gold!   
This unit would work great in states that have a heavy "fine" gold, gold areas!
IE: GA., some New England States, etc.
I have an acquaintance in the "Lode Country" of CA. who is making..
BIG! BUCKS!  :

Hey cptbil...I have never tried to recover it from the water. I have processed a lot of black sand and recovered a lot of micro gold that looked like gold colored baby powder when I was done with it. You shake the jar and it creates a cloud that takes a while to go away. I used a concrete mixer and Mercury to do this. The way you are working on seems to get smaller gold and is a lot safer. What is needed is for some one to put all this information in one spot so people would have a chance to understand it....Art
