Recovering fine gold from mercury

[Joe Irvine]

To safely store, a small, or hopefully large amount, a plastic container is the best, over using a glass or metal vial. Put enough water over it so it is covered, whatever attitude the vial is subjected to. Tight fitting lid, obviously.

Thank you. I went and did a few test pans in the area I'm at. Found nothing yet, but am hopeful since no one came by to say I couldn't do it. Just need to find a good spot and get in to the gravels.
