So a few weeks ago I met up with @brian.rrr for a fun prospecting trip to the East Fork San Gabriel river. We hiked up the river a few miles and spent the day panning and sluicing. We didn't find a spot with a lot of gold, but we still had a lot fun! You can see more about that in
@brian.rrr's post about the trip.
Today in this video I am going to process the concentrated material that I collected in my sluice box that day. First I go through the material in just a regular gold pan and then I setup the Blue Bowl to extract the fine "flour" gold from the heavy black sands.
