    Chris, with gold that small and complex, would a shaker table be a viable option to separate the gold?

    I live in Helena and no one pronounces it right. I live right under one of the richest gold mines and just ordered a gb pro. Can’t wait to find some using your tips and tricks! H-E-LL-E-N-A is how you pronounce it.
