👉 The Second Pan — the gold your equipment is quietly giving back: https://thesecondpan.com

A brown bottle of three percent hydrogen peroxide costs about a dollar in any pharmacy, and it does a handful of jobs out there that most men have never thought to use it for. None of it is complicated and none of it needs anything stronger than what's on that shelf.

In this video I go through all seven: lifting moss and lichen off a quartz specimen without scrubbing it to pieces, clearing the organic matter out of your concentrates that makes fine gold ride up and float away, breaking clay loose from a packed classifier screen, cleaning out a second-hand pan before its first trip, getting a sample vial clean so flakes stop sticking to the glass, taking stains off tools that have sat in the shed all winter, and cleaning a cut in the field, which with your hands in creek water all day happens more than you'd think.
