Alright quick question for the guys who have really spent time chasing fine gold… have you ever seen a centrifuge running in person?

It is wild how well they work. Spins everything out and holds onto the heavy stuff, especially that super fine gold that usually gets away.

I have seen guys set one up at the end of a high banker just to grab what would normally be lost. If you are in ground with flour gold or running crushed rock, it can make a noticeable difference in what you bring home.

Not something everyone needs, but in the right setup it can definitely pay for itself.

Happy 250th birthday America! 🇺🇸 Have a safe 4th of July everyone. Heavy Pans!

Check out this piece of gold! It barely fit in my snuffer bottle. Colorado still has some chunky gold. 🤩

Be like the duck…

Before setting up to dig a new spot, stop and scan the water. Look for areas where the flow changes. You want to find that spot where the water goes from faster to slower. That’s where gold can accumulate.

That’s why inside bends and the areas behind large rocks are some of the main targets for prospectors. But don’t forget about the straight stretches of river. A change in water flow can create a trap for heavies almost anywhere.

I find pockets of gold in rivers that I know get hit often, and it’s usually because I’m thinking about water flow and old channels. These rivers have been moved and adjusted over time. Try to find places where the river hasn’t been altered much to accommodate roads or neighborhoods.

Find that spot where the heavies are dropping out of the flow.

The more testing and panning you do, the better you’ll get at reading a river. It really comes down to practice and lots of pans.
