Has any one used this fine gold recovery sluice ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=--ZDhbS7uCM
So if i got one like that you think i should only use wet cons with it ?russau said:i havent used this unit but similar units have been made using slate,blackboard spray paint and a somewhat soft flat rubber mating with equally good results. also never add dry cons to a wet system. youll end up floating away and losing(into the recirculating tub) the super fines.wet to wet/dry to dry is a good rule of thumb!also, youll notice the he keeps dipping his hands into the water.thats because his hands were clean and hes trying to keep them clean to keep his body oils off his hands from building up on his hands. body oils will help the fines float.he has a nice unit and displayed it well. kept it simple!
That is what i was going to do if i got the sluice . Put a gold pan at the end of it to catch any thing that might slip through............................... JimDoug Watson said:I've got one I built using slate and when I added dry cons to it they went right off the table. I've got mine set up on a small table and it runs into a gold pan set on a bucket that is set in the recirculating tub so all I have to do is swap pans if something happens or I want to run the material again.
Yes the sluice cost is $125.00 from progoldprospecting.comrussau said:like i said, i dont have one of these, but i do have a small Miller table which is essentially the same thing. mine is also made with Slate not the rubber(?) they are useing, but ive heard that it is good also and a lot cheaper/easier to get!
That was some good info.. Thank you.. I will make a trip to Lowes..johnedoe said:Make yourself one of theses things and forget about a sluice.......... http://vimeo.com/34977104
That is why i was looking at the black magic...... I am no good at making things...I am one of the can not's. .... My wife always tells me Jim please don't try to fix that................ But this video of what .. johnedoe ... put up here i think i can make that ... And i will get the making's and do this one..russau said:as it turns out, one guy in our club has one of these black majic devices and he really likes it. i watched it operate for awhile and it works just like my small Miller table and it appeared to me it ran just as good as my table! but the table was a whole lot cheaper for me to make!but for the guys that dont/cant, it works just fine!
