Alluvial gold recovery using panning, sluicing, and classification. Covers site reading (geological indicators, stream dynamics, pay streak location), panning technique, sluice box operation, and responsible extraction practices. Use when prospecting in an area with known or suspected alluvial gold deposits, sampling a stream to test for gold presence, maximizing recovery during recreational panning, or assessing a site's gold potential before investing more effort.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Gold Washing Recover alluvial gold from stream deposits using panning, sluicing, and classification techniques. ## When to Use - You are prospecting in an area with known or suspected alluvial gold deposits - You want to sample a stream or river to test for gold presence - You are recreational panning and want to maximize recovery - You need to assess a site's gold potential before investing more effort ## Inputs - **Required**: A gold pan (14-16 inch, with riffles) - **Required**: Access to a stream, river, or alluvial deposit - **Optional**: Classifier/screen (1/4 inch mesh) - **Optional**: Sluice box (for higher volume processing) - **Optional**: Snuffer bottle or tweezers (for fine gold recovery) - **Optional**: Vial with water (for storing recovered gold) - **Optional**: Shovel and bucket for material collection ## Procedure ### Step 1: Read the Site Gold is heavy (specific gravity 19.3) and concentrates predictably. Read the water and geology before digging. ```text Where Gold Concentrates: INSIDE BENDS: Water slows on inside curves of a stream. Heavy materials (including gold) drop out of suspension here. Sample the gravel bar on the inside of bends. …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/gold-washing@sha256:b501c57d4135510bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
