Mining in a muddy river

Got some gold, but found out their was more mercury in it than gold.. Now i can't get the gold out of it. It was fun, and thought i had a few pickers. Now i got a double odd buck shot of coverd mercury. How did that happen? And is their natural mercury in the rivers? First time for me. Looks like platinium.

Save all the amalgamated gold for a later time to process you can do it a few different ways, and yes their is native natural occurring mercury it comes from the ore Cinnabar.

@defect530 yea dig up the black sands, and try to move alot of dirt. More dirt you move the more gold you will find. Yea Im heading down thier in a few days.

Nice work. I get my share of mercury, lead and iron. Really a shame that the whole state of CA is dead for dredging because of one area on the northern border, and dredging was actually helping fix the problem. They couldn't prove dredging was bad so they killed the study and killed dredging with a budget bill. Shame. Keep the good videos coming.
