I finally got to pan out my bag of concentrates from Tommy Knockers  https://tommyknockers.gold/

I won this bag of cons in the chat room during the 8/5/18 GPS Radio show. I would like to thank Gary for doing this giveaway and donating this awesome and generous prize. The gold total was 1.3 grams and included some nice stones.  Most of the gold was in form of pickers... but there were a couple of small specs.

The makeup of the bag was like you would get from the dredge... Lots of black sand, smaller garnets, and some lighter material.

On his site I see you can select the difficulty of panning and he offers a nice size range of gold all the ways down to 200 mesh. I like that feature, especially when buying bags for Dad..... he prefers gold that he can pick up with tweezers.... or has he says "Tweezable Gold". It's how he judges a spot we prospect on and why he likes going to VA with me. His eyesight isn't so good these days without reading glasses.

So for Dad I would choose the larger sized gold. If for myself I would go with the smaller meshes.... ( I like the challenge). 

Dime not included.

This was the weight I came up with.

I could use some help identifying the stones.... Not sure what they are.

The cons came in a nice tamper proof "coffee" ziplock style bag. It was shipped inside a secondary bag which I assume prevents losses in shipping and rough handling. All that was in a nice padded envelope.
