River sand is the best. If you can find it.
Located within the Town of Ossipee is a huge sand and rock pit approaching route 16 at Hannafords. (From Wolfeboro).

Ossipee's river banks (present and extinct) are known for New Hampshire's best chance of finding gold.



My late BIL was earlier asked to bring his gold "sluice" from California, but it was too much trouble.



I would've used the lake water intake (free) and pump (almost free) to separate those grains. But that opportunity has reluctantly passed into The Past.
