Check your local regulations, as each state and territory is different, before you travel into or though NP with your dog. Here is the Parks Victoria website for those of you wishing to read up on Victoria's laws 👉 www.parks.vic.gov.au/things-t...

I heard the potato trick was used by the old timers with mercury panning, they would take the gold laden amalgam out of the pan, put it in a cavity inside a potato and throw the spud in the campfire. The mercury would evaporate off and collect in the potato flesh for possible reclaiming and the gold would be left as a bead in the cavity. From all accounts it was a highly profitable practice limiting exposure to mercury vapors which are deadly to basically everything. (correction, the gold would turn into a foil inside the potato cavity which was then rolled into a bead or ball).

If you wrap the gold pieces in a little tissue and cut off the excess to keep it together, it assists with melting it together quicker.

Hello Chris, I would place your gold dust in a piece of tissue paper, make a ball out of it ,soak in the paste of borax (use water or metho). It helps the gold fusing together ,regards George

Possibly silly suggestion: Batea pan with a lot of high-strength magnets at the deepest point. Those trap black sand, and the black sand traps gold ppreferentially. That's how the cleangold sluices work; magnets to trap magnetite, which acts as flexible riffles and traps gold (even micro-gold).

Your "pretty rock" at about 5:15 looks like an agate. That spectacular electric blue kingfisher is a con artist - it isn't really blue. It's feathers have an iridescence that fools the eye into seeing it's fairly plain brown plumage as that amazing blue. .

Hard to tell what your rock is as its not a good close up but at a guess and by your reaction it sounds a be more exciting than something basic like a sedimentary rock with banding in it. Try comparing it to 'tigers eye' 👍
