+John Behmer A real one would use something around a 11/8" mesh as anything smaller then that would not make for a large enough stone to facet. I am using a 1/16" mesh here because we don't find anything larger than that in our area.
Not all, any Beryl based gems (emerald, aquamarine....) are quite light. But garnets, sapphires, peridot, diamonds, topaz, zircon and many more are heavier the most anything else in the creek.
Thats great, thanks :) shame the UK as very little in precious stones or gems or i would have a go, but i shall just wait till i have a holiday in US and try catching them.
I need one of them, where I live I probably won't find gold but I try, and I find a lot of nice rocks! I have a nice collection! I've been trying gold panning on some creeks in the mountain's but come up short, but nice quartz rock's and other little shiny rocks!
Dan, you're assuming that your group knows what you mean by classifying and various other terms, but they're probably afraid to interrupt your narrative and come across as looking stupid in front of others who are equally confused. You tend to rattle off the the terms and perform the associated actions before your audience can comprehend what you mean (if it can) Pretend that we/they are fourth graders who have never seen a mining tutorial before and that should help immensely. I probably sound stupid in front of other You Tubers, or maybe they can relate to what I'm trying to say?

Great video, always wondered how they done this method!, are all gemstones classed as heavy, or heavier than pebbles/stones?

I would love to do a class like this, but it'll be kinda pointless in the UK. Still fun to watch though.
