Determining Gold Particle Sizes Indicates This Is a 0.02-Gram Nugget Approximately 2–3 Millimeters Long

We measured the sizes of gold particles to more easily estimate outcomes during field assays. With these large gold particles measuring 2-3 mm in length, we can determine how many similar nuggets are needed for one gram of gold. Estimating and learning about the field assaying process is part of Start Your Own Gold Mine program. Without practical experience on-site, a person may be confused when estimating alluvial deposits.
