yeah have gravel on dry land fill with gold pan and use on running water and it just does not work

There's really not enough information here for us to diagnose the problem. I believe it's probably a case of not using the gold pan correctly, or the effect of #885.

If the former, try asking in our discord for support.

Should've been the effect of #885. If there are any issues in this new release, please open a new issue.
