That is cool Dennis, and a hobby that you can actually make money doing instead of spending.

Quite a few years ago I dug a trench with an excavator from one of our wells to a storage tank for water lines and electrical. There are pieces of quartz with oxidized streaks from behind the house down to the well. The cattle have cleaned this area off so I can pick up small pieces of rock to test now that i have an electric crusher sure beats pounding by hand. Yesterday I crushed a quarter of a bucket from behind the wood shed and ran the concentrates through a blue bowl concentrator I found gold. There are big seams of quartz running across our property a lot of rocks to test.

Yesterday my son and me crushed ore samples then washed and classified the concentrates. The mill pounds some of the free gold into little balls the fines are run across a fluid bed / sluice box then into the Blue Bowl concentrator for final cleanup. A lot of the gold needs to be smelted to remove the impurities that's also my job lol. This is small scale hobby prospecting with a lot of steps from rock to gold.
