   Recognising "virtue signalling" as a way of getting a front seat in the   
   secular afterlife - only if the separation method gives more return for   
   effort will the "alternative" method get used - displacing the mercury   
   method used for centuries in South America.  I must finish watching   
   about "The Monado Method".  It was found that gold miners in that   
   village used the fronds of a particular tree as the means to catch gold   
   in a sluice - rather like a "highbanker" used in North America by   
   prospectors if I understand right.

   There is a theory that the "Golden Fleece" of legend was based on using the   
   natural grease in sheep wool to trap fine gold particles. The grease,   
   Lanolin (cholesterol etc), is still valued for clinging to and protecting   
   metal surfaces.
