Learn How to Recover Fine Gold Without Using Mercury
The Mercury-Free Gold Recovery from Black Sand Concentrates DVD teaches recreational prospectors how to safely and efficiently recover fine gold from heavy black sand concentrates without using mercury.
Professional miner Jeff Pickett walks viewers through the recovery process step by step, explaining how proper classification, careful panning, and proven processing techniques can separate extremely fine gold from stubborn black sand.
If you have buckets of concentrates accumulating because they are difficult to finish, this instructional DVD provides practical methods using simple, relatively inexpensive equipment commonly owned by recreational gold prospectors.
Detailed Step-by-Step Instruction
This approximately 1-hour, 27-minute instructional program demonstrates fine-gold recovery methods in an easy-to-follow format. Each stage is explained so viewers can better understand how material preparation, classification, and panning technique affect gold recovery.
The DVD is divided into chapters, making it easy to return to a particular demonstration or review an individual step in the process.
