Hey all! I decided to make some filters from an old shower curtain (clear) using just a pain of scissors, a sharpie marker, and an 8.5 inch paper plate for a template. Gonna use sewing pins to make holes of different sizes based on what I'm trying to filter. I'll also be using some fine sandpaper (320-400) grain to "roughen" the filtering area to try and catch the more fine gold particles while allowing more of the junk to drain out. Also gonna play with a few ideas involving using tiny bits of quickcrete along the filter to help catch the fine gold. Might be an utter failure, but thought I'd see where it goes and see if anyone has any improvements to the idea in order to filter fine gold particles without catching all the junk in a paper filter. Since I literally have no access to nitric acid (thanks patriot act) I'm trying to put my boredom to good use.
