Hey all,
I received the Gold Rush Nugget Bucket today. I had some material to run through it from a local creek, and I have some questions for those who own one or have used one. Kevin, I know you have commented on this several of times, so I am sure you could be a big help in this:
The dirt I took home was already classified. I know one of the benefits of the bucket is that it classifies as you deposit more dirt on the screens. My question is, that only takes me 3-4 minutes to classify a bucket of dirt. So, other than that, when I put all of my material in it, it funneled all of it down in to that small glass pan at the bottom.
It literally looked like i could have just put all of what I had in to the small glass pan without doing anything else. Tons of tiny stones still remained in the top of the glass pan, and nothing overflowed out of the dish. So it looked like it simply collected everything I put in.
I guess what I am getting at, is, what exactly did this bucket do for me? Once its in the glass pan, I had to still throw it all in the gold pan anyways. I feel like I put A in to B, and A ended up in a tiny glass dish. And I paid 125 bucks for it haha. I'm BRAND NEW to all of this, so I MUST be missing something.
I am not here to bash an entrepreneurs invention. I am trying to establish whether I should return it because i simply don't know what it did other than classify, which isn't worth 125 bucks.
Unless the answer is I could have kept on dishing in more materials which would have ended up releasing more of the lighter materials from the small glass pan and ultimately leave more heavy black sands behind. I didn't put in a whole lot of material, so perhaps it didn't filter out all of the lighter stuff, making it appear to have done nothing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks all.
