Gold recovery tips: Screening off larger worthless gravel and rocks with a sieve is a fast and efficient way to improve your panning and sluicing results. Classifying (sizing) your material to the proper dimension is also essential to any successful fine gold recovery operation. Remember, for best results reduce the size of your material to the approximate size of the gold you expect to recover, and you will increase your gold recovery rates greatly.

For gold panning: try panning material bigger than 20 mesh separately from material smaller than 20 mesh. 20 mesh (window screen sized material) is the typical point where gold panning becomes difficult for most people. Trying to recover fine flour gold from quarter inch large gravel is quite a chore. Panning the material when similarly sized will be much more efficient.
