Ive got an idea...

[npaquette42]

So I was thinking that I could fill up buckets like half way with classified material. I would then fill the bucket with water and put it in the back of the truck and just leave it in there for a week or so. I drive a lot for work so I was thinking after a week I could at least scrap of the top and discard it and rinse and repeat. You think this could work or is it stupid rookie talk?

My guess is you wouldn't gain anything and you might dump over your bucket.

Never tried it. Cover the buckets. Material may just lock up if there is alot of clay in it and not let the gold settle. Welcome to the net you will learn alot in here.

Good Luck!

The material I'm working with is very granular. I think it might work. I'll just test pan the top before I start discarding it.

I believe I'm missing the point?

that question has been asked on other websites before and the answer was NO it wont do what you want it todo! you need to keep the material in a fluid state for it to work and there isnt enough room/water/material for this to happen!rather than what you proposed, why not get a large tub and set it up like you wanted BUT add some sort of big vibration,enough to get the material to giggle around or make a fluidbed device and pump water up from the bottom to make it fluid enough for the fine gold to drop down.

I really appreciate the feed back. It made a lot of sense to me at first but I knew it would be too good to be true.

You should try it... I would be interested to know if it works.

I posted this a few years back ............

(1) Take a 5 gallon bucket and cut a hole in the center of the bottom the same size that a 2-1/2" mailing tube cap will fit tightly into.

(2) Then add 1-1/2 gallons of concentrates and fill the bucket 3/4 of the way to the top with water.

(3) Take your hand and get the concentrates swirling like a tornado in the bucket, allow to settle and do it again.

(4) Set your bucket into another bucket and reach down through the concentrates and remove the cap with all the gold inside it.

Works every time. If you don't believe it pan what's left and see. That's why you set your bucket inside of another one before pulling the cap so you don't lose any concentrate.
