Heat the water to boiling. Also possible in boilers. Transfer the water to a solid plastic bath and while it is boiling, pour chlorine, more precisely a water disinfectant, but in a much larger quantity. A large spoonful for 1 bucket of 8-10 liters of water. Wait for about 15-20 minutes and then add iron sulfate. You will see how the powder settles.
After settling, decant the liquid and wash the powder well from chlorine for further processing.
Treat the liquid part with sodium carbonate. Don't throw anything down the drain because they take it away from you.
Soil or sand can be processed in the same way.

I share with the members of my people (Cherokee) to find the quantities for a super luxurious life, for others to meet the basic needs of life and a solid life. I put the protection on so that no one can do that to you
take away or diminish.

Potražite izvore plemenitih metala na vlastitoj zemlji i naći ćete ih.

I forbid sharing or giving away. It is only possible to sell for a decent price because your sources will be extinguished.

Good luck everyone

This has been tried extensivly in generations.
There are not enough preciuos metals dissolved in water to make a profit, even in large industrial processes.
I trust you have tested the powder in a proper assay?

After this post, I advise you to try it yourself. You will have!

Do it!

To spare you that means that ther is 0.05 grams of Gold in 1000 metric tons of sea water.
It is there but it will cost morecto get it out than than you ever will get in return.

So have you somehow tested your powder.
It is obvious you have no assay.
But have you had it tested in any way?
 
Just a short description of what might have happened.

When you add the Sodiumhypochlorite you also add substantial amounts of Sodium Hydroxide which is used to stabilise the Hypochlorite.
This forces the pH up a bit and when you add the slightly acidic Ferrous Sulfate,
it neutralises and drops the Iron as different Hydroxides, Oxides and complexes of these.
This will naturally drop out of solution and emerge in the bottom as what you have assumed to be Gold.

At 13 mg per liter we could be rich!

Goldschläger: A Swiss cinnamon liqueur with visible gold flakes. The name comes from the German word for "gold beater". A one-liter bottle contains about 13 milligrams of gold.

Actually there are quite a few liquors that have gold in them,
I propose we make Goldschlager the official drink of the Gold Refining Forum. Better yet, throw out the suggestion to all of the companies making liquor with gold and get a bidding war going for the ultimate gold booze sponsorship.

Probably have very iron-rich ground water... and precipitating brown RUST.

If the powder is washed well from chlorine and then subjected to the action of HCl, iron should dissolve like other alkali metals, right? I'm left with a slurry of powder.
otherwise, many forums exist to take away words and will from those who have. It can also be shared like I did in the opening post.

Iron is not an Alkali metal.
Iron will dissolve in HCl but the different Iron Oxides and Hydroxides might not.
 
So to summarize you take a large quantity of clean water, boil it and add chlorine than after waiting a precise amount of time add ferrous sulfate ( which just happens to be high in iron content) and all of the gold that was already in the water drops out. And since it’s brown I know it’s gold so why do we need to assay it?

Not exactly iron pyrite but it can still be considered fools gold!

I think he boils it with the Hypochlorite and then add Copperas.
