that looks pretty good.  I'd have my brick hammer after that thing and then pan the gold.
I used to do a lot of it. can't now.
good luck.

That is an awesome looking piece.  I see gold exposed on three sides of that thing.  Nicely done.

The oldtimers on my greyhound route used microwave ovens in a oil bath to seperate the gold from the rock. They never told what oil and got the microwaves at yard sales, Goodwill Ect. Said they'd last bout a month.
