DIY Gold Finishing Table for Gold Prospecting | Part 1

In this video I describe a small gold separation table that I've been working on. I mix 60 mg of gold with black sand and demonstrate the full recovery.

    I've been asking MBMM to make a mini shaker table based on their main table design. But you sure are a pioneer here. Thanks for the instructional video. Awesome ideas here 👍

    I got to tell you I don't see this is any better than a Miller table I think I'm going to invest in their Miller table and what I mean by that is I'm going to build one I'm not going to go to the trouble of making a vibrating table but thank you so much for the video it helped me a lot to decide for my first build where I need to do

    We had a short conversation .... and we told you ,- how complicated it is in the Mineral Dressing .... But we appreciate the effort you put in to it ... and we are convinced , that you will find a way ...... Here ar some of the parameters ( Berge = all non gold material ) Particle size average ( berge and gold) Particle figure of gold average ( flatt or round etc.) Berge material ,- what they are ... a melange from Haematite ,- Siderid ,- Magentit ,- tin casitterite ,- sulfur compounds ,- etc etc. and of course garnet ,- quarz ,- and and Pre classification to particle size It sounds all labour intensiv ..... > 50 kg Not ,- when you have a device system ( small amound are easy to handle with hands ) But keep in mind ...... not many "gold panner" know ,- what really happens in there pan , with the behavior of certain goldparticle and certain material of "Berge" ... ( There are only few really good panning tutorials to see ) Same with shaker tables ....... there are lot of ...... out there ,- but few professionells ( like Holman and Wilfley in UK ,- or Geminin ,- or ........ ) But for the guys who like to bulid a shaker table ........... it is hard . Let us know ... how you making out ... and if you have detail question..... Oh by the way "Orophila" .... you love the Gold 😉😊 Greetings from the team

    Very good design and principles. It's been my experience you will never get 100% of the gold. Even in assay they say you lose 1-2%. All the extremely heavies you had at the end are worth saving. If you collect that stuff and save enough of it you can send to a refiner and get the silver/gold out of it and make a few extra $ to help pay for a future project.

    I appreciate your out of the box thinking but I didn't understand the chevron idea from the outset. That configuration funnels all the materials together into a narrow area rather than spreading them out over a larger area. As a result it appears to me that the probability of the gold being trapped and carried out with the black sands increases.

    this was a failure if judged by The English Inventor Thomas Moores standard which was the prototype should fail in every conceivable fashion so that all the problems can be recognized immediately ( kudos ) the time to process vs %unrecovered ( is it really a loss ?) material is also a factor ( albeit one that fluctuates with the price of gold , obviously. Again many Thanks ! thoroughly enjoy watching you experiment and getting access to your thought processes with all sincerity
