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

Shaker tables would work, but it would take many of them to handle the throughput, and the bowls are more bulletproof. Glad you enjoyed the video.
How the heck did I not know you had a book!?!?

Some were as small as grains of sand. Glad you enjoyed the video.
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.

This exact one is not public, but there are public places only a few hundred yards away. Google Blaze-N_gems and you will find the website for the public one. Glad you enjoyed the video.

@@ChrisRalph It was nice to see the commercial side of sapphire mining. I've only been to the local pay to dig sapphire mines around helena and Philipsburg before and a small hobbyist mine in the wilderness in the sapphire range.
Interesting....but more of a tour than “how to”.
