Yea bro! Some say its a waste but i say fine gold recovery is interesting. It does not take much efforts to carry home a lb of black sand compared to a snuffer bottle worth. It adds up quick and with the right system its convienent and fun to proccess in your spare time. Last year i got almost a gram out of my sands. I expect more this year. You got to try a gold cube, it blows the blue bowl out of the water. That same pan of sand you had is about what i usually have from a decent trip. Feeding extremly slow its less then 5 minutes. Its such a dream to set, run and cleanup man. save those blue bowl tailings for me!

Coolant man?! lol. I bet it works too! But Jet dry is like 3 bucks at Safeway. Just sayin man!

Ha Ha yeah man I literally haven't used it in probably 3 or 4 years, I wanted to run it just for the fun of it mostly. I would love a gold cube and hopefully one day might get one! I always save my black sands also!

The coolant I have sitting around and its non toxic, I've used it before it works well.

I kinda like my cleanup.... I hate blue bowls.
Actually a friend of mine... He had about 2 1/2 gallons of concentrates that he had pulled from the beach in a couple months.

Nice fine gold.

So far so good this season, getting decent gold and looking forward to this next cleanup which should be a good one. I estimate this cleanup to be between 1-3 pennyweight. Come stop by and say hello! Going Live Wednesday the 13th at 6:00 PM pst.

Interesting ill have to try that. Could be useful if I decide to haul it out to the field to save weight. My first thought is it would allow more gold to escape the first tray since you wont have the G force seperator which i think is the main factor in the Gold Cube Design

I found a bench of sand that is probably 5g a yard but its a 2 mile hike with 1900 elevation change, i dont think i can get the cube there but maybe if i cut up a tray into 2 pieces or something...

I cut a tray in half put sides on it and power it with a 800 gpm pump. I found that the top tray, with the original vortex mat still in it catches most of the gold. Go figure.

Good luck.
