Hi everyone,
new to this forum, found it through a member's youtube vid.
I do some small scale placer mining in northern California and have a question.
instead of giving my black sands back to the river, is there any cost-effective way of recovering the micron gold it contains?
and a tougher question: how much can I expect to recover, say from a gallon volume of dried magnetite where there is no visible gold present?
I know there are a lot of variables in my last question.
one more though: is using mercury to make an amalgam viable and/or legal?
thanks
