Would love to have the Hydro Force but I'm sure it would be over my budget since a brand new 3" one sells for around $300
I'm trying to stay around $100 with shipping.

Out of curiosity, how much would you have to get for it?
You can PM me if you would like to keep it confidential.

Thanks,
GG~

Thanks BassPro but I already have looked at that and would rather have something comparable to a Keene or Jobe.
Just wasn't confidant about the one you were referring to.

That one is homemade and will have serious flow issues with the square corners, I'd pass on that one too GG. I took a quick look through my Jobe dealer site and the biggest I see they have is only 2 1/2". Hopefully someone has a good used one for you!

That's what I thought about it also GG didn't know if you would feel the same. Haven't seen very many used ones.

Thanks guy's,
I had searched e-bay and the entire craigslist and came up empty before posting here.

Just hate to pay $150 for a new one.

Thanks but that wont work for me, I'm on a pretty tight budget for this project and I already have plenty of 3" and 4" hose.

I'm still working on the vortex deal, the conveyer factory is moving locations and I'm trying to work a deal on all their scrap. You will get yours just for the cost of shipping. Still waiting for you to tell me what size you need.

I'll PM you concerning the nozzle.

Hey GG, sorry to just jump in here out of the blue, but do you have a pic of the vortex mat sounds like really cool stuff. Especially after watching Reeds video on gold well, do you think I could just swap out the carpet and riffles on my Keene and go back and forth depending on conditions or would I have to adhere the mat to the Keene box?

No problem, feel free to chime in.

What is being referred to as "vortex mat" is actually rough top conveyer belt and has been used for many years in certain mining circles. The great thing about it is that unlike carpet vortex mat is "active" what I mean by active is that there is a constant exchange of material going on as water passes over the pockets and channels that are manufactured into the mat. This exchange is constantly allowing heavier material to settle into the pockets while expelling the lighter material and washing it on down the mat and finally off the end leaving the gold to be trapped in the pockets and channels.

The mat does not need to be glued down. I use it by itself in my keene sluice under the riffle tray instead of carpet or miners moss or ribbed matting or expanded metal. It's also the mat of choice for the famous Gold Cube.

To see photos of what is being called vortex matting just click on this link: https://www.google.com/search?q=vor...Q&biw=1366&bih=649&sei=ZnlkUeWHLdGz4APX-ICwCw

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the response GG, so maybe I just google Vortex matting look for local suppliers or try to purchase on line, though I don't really like online for anything I haven't handled in "real" life first.
Also not to beat this to death BUT,so the riffles on top don't adversely effect the action of the mat?
Thanks again you are truly the Good Guy

well GG, I guess you don't really need to respond looked at some images and not really what I had pictured in my head. Thought it was more like the Gold Well setup. You know deeper with bigger vortices, kind of pressed into rubber or routered into it. Guess my imagination just got away with me.

I'll pm you as soon as I get my hands on the mat and also about the nozzle. Not sure at this point if 3" or 4" but I'm pretty sure I'll be using 2" pressure hose.
