I am actually one who thinks that it might be worth researching the gold in seawater problem. I have several methods that might work. I tested on carbon collection method with subsequent electrolysis and it did work on some types of solutions. Some scale testing is required.
Needs few spare and brave bucks. Some atom gold deposits in Burma in plant matter have some people sratching their head after 80 years. It is fire assayable at 3 grams/ton but there doesn't seem to be a way of getting it out. (Again I think I know how) The theory that colloidal gold ended up on sea bottoms under certain conditions is a possibility which keeps people going. After all copper does.

The boys trying to get gold out of water around Salt Lake City (It dfoes run to 50PPB I heard and 1ppb is worth 1 cent) were using these special assay techniqes on the precipitated gold on the bottom of swimming pools they were using for testing and this is probably how this micro fine stuff all got started.
