A little bit from shaking out the dry carpet

[DrDuck]

Following the last Tuena trip, I finally got around to shaking out the dust from the now dry carpet from the highbanker, and panning it off.

Got this little bit. Might try some miners moss in place of the carpet, and see how that goes.

Just as a footnote if you do decide to replace the carpet with the miners moss dont throw the carpet out.
Ive heard of people burning it and panning it out to retrieve the fine gold held in the fibers

Just a note on the burning the carpets, make sure they are not nylon based or plastic synthetics before you burn them

AR, ribbed carpet under expanded, with riffles on top.

You'll end up with a plastic ball filled with gold

Mate thats not a bad result for dry bashing i burnt all my carpets after they sat in the shed for 12 months long after i went moss. Sythetic too.
I left them in a fire we ran for about 5 hours. Next morning i panned the ashes could not believe the fine gold id buit up.
Burn em i say
