Well I learnt something the specific gravity of black sands, I thought they were quite heavy, running around the ball park of gold, but in this document they're only talking about a weight of 5-5.17 !, makes me wonder how something that light really can sit in the sluice, any ideas?
 
Very interesting

Another great post JB

Thank you for your willingness to post this and other very informative material and also for your time and effort to do so.

Cheers
