Nice set up. As a novice it's good to see that you don't have to spend big bucks for the Gold Hogs. I like your magnet idea.

Hello and welcome Gold hog makes a great product but for us guys who don't want to spent the big bucks with a little ingenuity you can make just about anything you want that works just as well if not better and it's a lot more fun. Thanks for subscribing I hope you find my ideas helpful in your hunt for gold.

Always fun when your build exceeds your expectations

i like it .. ... different patterns in the mat to catch all the different shapes and sizes (though this may not apply to 'dream mat' !! magnet idea at the back was a great idea !!!! i like the ez hopper addition--- simple solutions that are effective enough ...

You never cease to amaze me with the things you come up with. Another great addition to your repertoire

Brilliant! It’s kinda like a high banker in a way I’m currently designing my first high banking sluice I’m definitely Going to steal your idea with the different types of mats

Awesome setup thanks :)

A lot of good homemade ideas ! It takes a lot of fine gold to add up many dollars, so low cost equipment is best !

Looks like it is getting cooler there. We had snow flurries in Southern MN yesterday.

Thank you I am happy the way the sluice turned out. As far as a dry washer being here in Montana we just don't have that much dry ground to work so I am not sure how much I would be able to use one maybe in the future. Thanks for watching.

Nice contraption man.the top is like a Miller table.U forgot about a blue bowl! My battery has just arrived for my blue bowl so it will be grafting very soon and al have a video of it.can't wait coz av got loads of black sands I've been collecting for this day👍😉

Good luck on the blue bowl I have never used one maybe I will have to give it a try.

That's a nice little set up you have there. If you rough up the bottom of your feed tray a bit with some 200 grit sandpaper and adjust the water flow just right you will be able to catch most of your gold right there and just snufferer it up like you did with the one piece. Yep, it will work as a Miller Table as well. Just control the water to where the black sands just start moving on down.

My project is to use your top unit, for feeding concentrates , into the sluice box: dumping a whole bucket of constraints into the top feeder and using an adjustable fine trickle/drip of water to slowly wash the upper hopper into the sluice.

@alanrobertson2510

5 жыл бұрын

Good idea I think it will work fine for you good luck.

Great idea! I wonder if you turned the red feeder box around so that it would drop further up the sluice and place a longer strip of ribbed mat under neath to have a longer first step at the beginning of your sluice?🤔

Thanks Rod That is a good idea I did turn the top tray into a mini miller table and I don't think I will be using the top tray anymore once I get it connected to the blue bowl and the nugget bucket my next project as soon as I make my leveler for the blue bowl.

Nice job on the sluice. I see what you mean about working dry material, flows so much more smoothly off the spoon. Surely the drop and flap will put all the gold under the surface. I'm surprised at how little water flow you need to get the sluice working.

@alanrobertson2510

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Macks I think it works better than I thought it would. using the garden hose sure cut down on the amount of water flow but it worked out fine.

Like your inventions, would there be any benefit to having the hole in the mud tray on the end instead of the bottom. I'm thinking making the hole slightly above the bottom of the tray.

@alanrobertson2510

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks John I had never thought of putting the hole on the end of the tray it might help keep the feed more even I might have to give it a try. Thanks for the idea.

if u put a few drops of dish washing liquid in your water supply it will stop surface tension

Where did you purchase the various mats in you clean up sluice? Excellent!

Hello James. I bought the Deep V mat from Royal Manufacturing and the sawtooth mat on E bay Washington beach mining also sells the sawtooth mat. Thanks for watching.

I must have misunderstood you in the beginning because I thought you said you didn't want it to sit there and teaspoon your concentrates in I thought you said you're going to just dump them in and let it do its job... well you sat there with your teaspoon and teaspoon it all in.. so did I misunderstand you or what... My question is would it work if you just dumped it all in the bucket and let it do its job.. I would put a catch bucket at the bottom to see if any gold got out or not ... I love how you set it up that's for sure good idea... I do enjoy watching you use the knowledge that God gave you to have the know how to figure things out like you do what an awesome gift.... Be blessed my friend... BBE 👍 👍

Sorry about that i can see how I confused you . I just wanted to have a even flow of black sand going in to the sluice. I do think you could just dump it in with some adjusting I will have to see how that works in the future. Take care and thanks for watching.

Your right I need to give a miller table a try some time.

for these things that you do is that he called him the master of the sluice box of truth that he has this name

Where do you get that matting from. I built a gutter sluice and it's only a few inches wide. I have a piece of doormat carpet at this time but it holds a lot of dirt. I have looked at all the stores for grooved rubber mats and can't seem to find any
