[wtetro]

Working the bedrock in the Bradshaws. 72" of total sluice with hopper included. 4200gph using 2 batteries. I can all day on this. Upgrades coming soon using Hog mat. I use a small 6x10 peice I can easily remove at the head of the sluice to test pan spots for quantity of color per 5 gal bucket.

My original post was buried in this thread long ago so here is an updated where it all stands today. Sluice and trommel are all completed and ready. Took nearly 1 year to complete due to all the personal issues but its done. The sluice is filled with Gold Hog Mats. Its 60 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 4 inches deep. I can't wait until I can throw some rock and dirt into the machine and let it classify to 1/2 inch and allow the mats capture the gold.

Great looking machine! Have you used it yet? If so how has it worked out? I bet great! Have any plans you'd like to share or sell??

There's no way this sluice is going in a car lol. Unless I buy a station wagon.

That was my original plan Viking but the cost of the hose was to great. So I settled on wx15 instead.

This is my first diy sluice... A little background, not a lot of tools, designed/built 1.5 days lol
It was definitely working but I believe my angles and flows were off. First timer

Cool build

It's got everything, but a kitchen sink.
I like the gold wells, the wheels, and the fluid bed on the end.

You will likely need to add additional fluidizing tubes to the middle of the fluid bed area unless they are already there and I'm just not seeing them in the photo.
