Always use same quantity of material for field assaying
When doing field assaying and you wish to get a quantitative analysis of gold it is necessary to always use the same quantity of material.
If you check one time smaller quantity and other time larger quantity and wish to assay gold in some ore dump or tailing heap, you will simply start making mistakes.
Number of colors in a gold pan shall be always compared to other numbers while using the same quantity of material.

These children are resting on the mercury polluted heap of tailing while Mr. Louis is showing the always one and same quantity of material that has to be used in the field assaying. - Mr. Louis showing one quantity of material for field assaying
Only one and same quantity of material shall be used for field assaying so that proper estimates of gold quantity in the full material may take place. - Another same quantity of material must be used for field assaying
Always use the same quantity of material when assaying the gold content. You should not use one time more and next time less of the material quantity. This material is not meant for panning by using the gold pan in which it is contained. The gold pan is used just to measure the quantity of material so to be even and same each time. - Always the same quantity of material is used for field assaying
Always the same quantity of material must be used for field assaying in the Start Your Own Gold Mine program. On the left one may see the Garrett Prospecting Gold Pan full with the material of tailing. On the right side one may see the basin that is used to process the material and determine the gold content.
