I really like my little classifiers. Small, simple, and clean neat classification.

That was a master class in gold recovery. I think that these videos are where you come into your own on KZread, I know that you do all kinds of prospecting and hunting for the good stuff but this is where you put the time back in when your'e at home - not at the river / creak. Great stuff

you are the best teacher in my book. I purposely learn slow to digest and imprint the information it avoids whys and hows later in my opinion You are concise thorough and offer a easy going manner that allows learning to happen and be retained in the easiest possible way the information is processable and retainable I really learn a lot from these videos Thank you so much

I really enjoy your videos two toes its a real honor to watch you play thanks for taking us along with you.

Awesome illustration on how to extract the gold 👍👍

What a great little clean up sluice Gary thank you for showing us a cheap and easy way to clean the black sands off. Looking forward to seeing your next videos

Great class, as always! Thanks, Gary! Looking forward to your next hunt in the hills!

I love how detailed your information is. I always seem to learn something new from your posts. Thank you.

Thank's Gary for all the effort you put in to demonstrate that final cleanup ,it is surprising just how much Gold is contained in the black sand concentrate , reminds us not to throw away your black sand, unless of course your rich enough not to worry about it ,lol ,but as for me ,I like to get it all if possible , and it gives you something to do in the down times , cheers mate much appreciated.

Glad to see you having a good time with the hobby.

Excellent set of videos on DYI cleanup sluice Gary. Thank you so much Cheers

The way you teach, is sensible and practical, Gary. Thankyou, friend.

Learn something with each video, thanks Gary....!

Gary you are great love watching your videos I went down the creek and found gold with my boy that's 3 this spot you never think it would have gold but by watching you I got it thank you for your support.

Got a lot of black sand out at Olympic Beach got to make sure and run a lot of it. Thanks bro

Watching your video makes me want to run all my saved black sand concentrates again. Thanks for your video!

Great video Gary. You put the sluice to the test. For the money and time involved, this would be hard to beat. Thank you.

Thanks Two Toes, been watching your videos for a while now, but I subscribed today!

Thanks for showing us how it's done. Look forward to you getting back up in the hills and finding spots sweet with gold.

The Prospectors champion! I know I'm late into your videos but the information is timeless and your a Delight to watch well done Gary, pure Quality !!!

Well done Gary,enjoyed and learned a few things I've been doing wrong ,thank you friend.Great vidio ,keep up the good work.Keep it golden always.

Good winter work. We used to just dump the B.Sand back in the river to let the gold grow up since the usual hump out was mile + @ 40-50 deg 2.5-3hrs bust'n butt out & 20 mins in. Anyone that wanted the B.sand could hump it out but 100% of the time they did it once and never again, LOL.

Really really enjoy these your videos! Always good to see a fellow miner with the fever.

Sorrey for all the questions but thats the only way I can learn.Thanks Gary.

Great videos, love what you do. I'm from Pennsylvania. Flour gold here. Hard to process. But anyway, cant wait for more videos. I learn a lot from you.

Gary your sluice works great, not enough gold slipped by to worry about. You just talked me in to building one. Thanks for the build and this test video. I dive in Michigan with an excalibur but it's been a long winter with no gold jewelry so thanks so much for these videos this winter to help me pass the time till the weather here breaks. Also congratulations on 10,000 subscribers WTG Gary.

Strait to the point video. His explanation is superb. A true watch to the end video.

Hello, thank you for your great selection of prospecting videos. I appreciate your efforts as an old fogie I can appreciate the hike ins you do for us. My grandfather was a prospector and I wish I had had more time to spend with him to learn his skills. I live just south of some mountains here in Redlands California so I'm hoping to get up on some creeks to do some scraping for some nuggets. This video in particular will come in handy.

Thanks for the lesson Gary, appreciate it. Also nice sluice. Ron

Great videos! I’m just getting started, and it sure helps a lot, by watching your videos.

Great video Gary. You teach well

It is a great session..i like this video too. There is so much fun to differential those colors after separation. You did put in so much effort on this video..i appreciate your experiment..thank you again.God bless.Amen

Thank you for this great information. I have my hands full of black sand and I know what I have to build. Thank you again.

Nice video and you gave me a few good tips on making and using this sluice, thanks 👏👌❤

I thinking your newest fan. I also think I'm you biggest fan. I really enjoy your videos! You are living my dream. I admire your passion and appreciate your ability to teach and the time it takes to teach along the way. I'm sure you'd get more done if you weren't making videos but I sure appreciate that you do. You are definitely blessed with some beautiful countryside and I thank you for sharing it with all of us.

Thank you I appreciate all the knowledge that you pass along

Always enjoy all your videos

This was just perfect for explaining.. thank you sir!

Detailed content in this video 👍, nice job

Thank you sir! Definitely gonna be trying a similar design as soon as the snow is gone up here. Still waiting for snow to melt.

very good little sluice,,i enjoy this episode very mutch,and that my next project,,thank you

Great video mate nice work ⚒

GREAT DEMONSTRATION... THANKS

Thanks for the info I really enjoy your channel really good info

Interesting little exercise mate , keep em coming..

nice setup. Using the garden hose means that you always have clear water...sweet.

Great video. I was thinking about making something like that a month ago. Real nice.

Love the sluice. Thank you

very interesting video Gary!

Pretty dang good in my books. I have two locations I'd like to try using one of those strait run on the materials.

Fantastic Chanel have learnt a lot

Another great video!!!

Brilliant, bloody brilliant what more can i say. :)

Good lil sluice there ive been wanting to make one !

Interesting video Gary, Thank you very much..Jack

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Nice! Im building mine this week. Im going to design it a bit different though i want to be able to take my mat out to clean it. But besides that good job man i love this!

Good video on how to run your fines !!!!!

I really enjoyed your video! Thanks

nice work. That worked out well.

very cool...sir ! looks like a few engineers are disappointed but there so hard to please ...take care

Next year I'll be building this because the hold I have access to in idaho is super fine stuff.

Great video man!👍

Great clean-up, That sluice worked really well, nice job..Take Care & See ya on the next one,Loved the Harley Shirt..LOL

If you take a short piece of the trouph cut off one side then put a bend to make a curl then slide it into the top groove`s -I used an end cap on mine but the piece you cut will slide just above in the groove`s and make a smooth flow then you don`t get a force flow , Have a look at mine .Last night I got watching yours and fell asleep so you got 11 vids watched from me so I`m going thru them now .

I prefure sifting in water seams like it passes material thru faster. Then I dry and remove magnetics then I re wet and run them thru the cleanup sluice. I never run dry fines, as gold can float out into the tub. ( the -100 mesh gold.)

Great work

Good job Gary. How about someday showing the mercury clean up?

Hi Mate Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.. I appreciate your effort you put in making it. Cheers Famo59. Tony.👍🍺⛏🇦🇺

thanks gary thumbs up

Do you sometimes use a blue bowl concentrator, Gary? If so, any chance of a tutorial on how to work one? There are some of those clips on KZread, but I'm not sure whether they're any good.

LOL!! 2nd : ) Excellent video again Gary. Very helpful.

I'll make mine into 2, 1.5 foot sections so it can fit into a backpack. I'll keep the mat 3 feet and just slide it in and out

I hate to say it but that was a lot of time and work invested for less than $40.00 worth of gold. Ouch! At the same time it worked and your little clean up sluice was very inexpensive. Thank you for your videos.

The gold is an extra, its getting out to spend the day in the hills.

What if you poured the material into a conical crucible and melted it down, I'm thinking you'd have a small bead of gold collected at the tip, and iron on top.

That's pretty cool...I have never prospected but with all the videos i've watched over that past few years I look differently when looking at rocks and I'm always wondering is there gold there . Does that guy know he has all this old river rock in his yard lol. And I am watching from the other side of Canada gool ol Moncton waving a big ol hand at you ..;)'

Gary love video. I have so much black sand. I need to make one. I think I’ll use a recirculating pump. I can’t waste the water where I live. Where do you get your little trays to weigh your gold?

@TwoToes

6 жыл бұрын

They work just as well with a pump. You can find the trays at - honans-mining-supplies.myshopify.com/

Maybe consider putting a valve at the end of the box so you can control the water flow very easy.

Gary, thanks for a very interesting video. Question, when you are tumbling your black sand, do you use any media to crush the black sand to release the gold that can be trapped inside the black sand? I always drop in a few steel ball bearings, but I don't know if that helps or not.

@TwoToes

6 жыл бұрын

If I am running material that is larger, 10 to 20 mesh I will put metal scraps in to brake things up. When I run the fine black sands, I like to tumble the material at least 24 hours, that way the black sand will scrub every thing clean.

Man I learn so much from your videos.... Do you prefer this method opposed to blue bowl?

@TwoToes

It is a lot faster, but you end up with more to clean up at the end. The blue bowl is slow, but you can pick up your gold with a snuffer bottle.

With the riffles so small you have to make sure the gold has time to get down in them.

Did you concider selling these or are you already doing that ? Pretty cool if you dont mind me saying so.? If so how much?

I bought some of the mat from Lowe's for $17 for a 3ft×4ft and then I ordered a 4×8 roll from Home Depot for $65.. the Home Depot mat is a lot sturdier with deep V grooves and the Lowe's mat has Square grooves.. Lowe's sells the half round gutter for $8 and not Home depot. Also I bought the half round end cap for the gutter for $4.50 instead of cutting the gutter and folding it... the end cap fits on it tight and it also holds the water in.. the reason I used the end cap is because you can remove it without screwing it..

What did you use to make that mat?

What is the mat called and where can I get it in the US?

I just built one quick and easy the matting Gary says is at Lowe's I could not find it at Home Depot or Ace by the way tool box liner matting does not work

Couldn’t you install some sort of control valve on the water line
