A $6 Door Mat Catches Gold as Well as Miner's Moss — Here's Why It Works

The Gold Prospector's Bible (2026 Edition) — the complete field guide: https://goldprospectorsbible.com Miner's moss works because of what it does to moving water, not because of what it costs — and a cheap rubber door mat does the same thing for a fraction of the price. In this video I explain why it works: how the bristles create the dead water that lets heavy material drop out of the flow, why the depth of the pile matters more than the material it's made of, where a door mat falls short compared to proper matting, and how to cut and fit one so it actually holds gold instead of letting it wash straight through.
