You will also see tiny tin crystals and gemstones mixed into the black sands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom my records the highest amount recovered in this series of jars was 2.11 grams the lowest was 1.04 grams.

There are no gauntees of more than 1 gram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dirt averages around 300 grams per container. This depends on the quantities of black sands.
