    As the rains wash the sand off the roads and leave the gold behind, you should find where the street sweepers dump the dirt in the spring and get some buckets of road concentrates :)

      In the past I read where someone went around and swept up a bunch of dirt on the sides if the road in a city, had it tested, and found a high level of platinum in the dirt. High as in a higher concentration than places they actually mine platinum.

    Sand/salt and gravel is what is used in the UK and it's called grit and they pile it on the roadside. I've found gold on the roadside before so this has given me an idea. Cheers 👍💚💛❤️

    Liked, shared and commented. Awesome video. It just kept coming. I’m so glad my idea is finally getting traction. The first couple people I mentioned it to were borderline rude about it. Egg on their face. U guys nailed it! N they can hopefully just b happy being outside looking in. I think it’s an awesome way to prospect very cheap and easy in the winter. It’s just like the Home Depot sand thing. Only the cheapskate version. And more definitive. We know Home Depot sand is “local” but town sand we know where it’s from. And the stuff is literally being given to us. U can’t beat that with a dead chicken. It’s free, local, semi classified (no big rocks), and much easier to dig than the creeks. 🐝🗽🤴🏻

    Salt water can suspend small gold. Salt and sand are mixed to spread on the road. When you run this sand, you have to desalinate the water first. FYI.

    • @hipbeeexplorer
      @hipbeeexplorer  28 дней назад

      Salt water has less surface tension than fresh water so the gold will float less than it does in fresh water and It didn’t harm my results at all. I got more than expected.

    • @PHUCKyoutube689
      @PHUCKyoutube689 28 дней назад

      Saltwater has less surface tension but more density. So it won't float gold as easily and gold is dense enough the saltwater density shouldn't be an issue, any gold lost would be near microscopic. It wouldn't move the scale anyway. Extra work for no measurable benifit.

    Hi Guy's, it's been a while for me but that's crazy good gold from highway sand in Billerica Mass. You should see if you can find out where they get their sand/salt from. I did some research a few years ago of sand from Home Depot in Manchester NH and they get some from a sand pit near Lake Ossipee NH. The Ossipee Mountains are the remains of a 125-million-year-old volcanic Ring Dike, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_dike
