Mine arrived last Friday - thank you Patrick :Y:
From one Victorian address to another Victorian address good old Aus Post sent them via Sydney. I do feel sorry for the postal workers at the moment, it would be the busiest any of them have ever seen it.
First I dry panned half a bag just for fun. Got absolutely nothing. Which, based on the final result, means I know nothing about dry panning!
I then ran the whole lot slowly through a home made sluice that I made about 3 years ago and have never used. Was assuming that it would not be the best but worked brilliantly to my surprise.

Leaving the sluice for a while I then panned off everything that made it over the sluice and into a bucket. The results in the pan were better than hoped - nothing in there! arty:

Then cleaned off the sluice mats and panned that off. Nice.

Thanks again Patrick for sending. An enjoyable half hour spent and just a bit more gold value than the cost - awesome.
The quarry where this is - I assume they are processing this material?
