Popandson sluice on the Nome beach

We try a proof-of-design experiment we call "sanding". Its a cross between dry land dredging and hydraulicing. It was very successful and 28% of the gold was minus 100 mesh. We're now looking for commercial operators that want to experiment to see about improving fine gold recovery.

Red sands are garnet rich sands. Please show your wash out and results when you post this stuff, just because it look interesting doesn't mean it will work. best regards

[7troding]

would you comment on RED SAND ? what is that,a indcation of gold bearing sand or what ?

[jennymenuez]

Very nice, but hardly knew.

It's called hydraulicing, very cute on a small scale. Illegal on a large scale.

It is also illegal not to show yuor cleanup!!

overall.....good job.

[deauzie]

what about diamonds

[pacificcoast]

...and the results?

[riverbender]

P&S I REALLY loved this technique and vid, but it seems immoral not to show us the cleanup!

Thanks,
