sluice

Looking for some advice on this design for a fluid bed sluice. This is kind of based on the "Snake River EXPEDITION Fluid Bed Sluice." I will put a metal mesh between the two sets of holes as a screen. The holes going into the chamber ate .6 inches in diameter and the end of the water funnels...

Hey guys, here is a great article on different types of alluvial wash plants. Some are also used in hard rock gold production such as the Knelson concentrator and spiral concentrators. You are guaranteed to learn something from this article, even if you've been mining for decades...

Hello fellow gold enthusiasts!! So it’s time for me to sell my old standard riffle system sluice and upgrade to a better system. I’ve done quite a bit of research and narrowed it down to either the ten inch dream mat sluice or the Grizzly fluid bed sluice. Just wondering what everybody’s...

Hello everyone, This is my first full season of prospecting. I started late last season without much luck. I first started finding gold last year on the outside bend (yes I know wrong area) and stuck with that spot, thinking there wasn't much else in the area. Yesterday I came back to that...

Dug for about an hour or so, classified material down into about 1.5 buckets. This was in and under overburden on an old gravel bar deposit. Everything you see is pretty much all gold, aside from the gray speck right above Abes head to the left. Thoughts?

Hello everyone, I just recently became interested in prospecting. I don't want to spend the money on a sluice box or highbanker yet because I'm a beginner and I don't want to put a lot of money into something I haven't had much experience with. So I was wondering if anyone knew of some good...

Hello All! I bought a mini bazooka gold sluice around 4 years ago, but never had the time to use it. My family is traveling to Pine Mountain Lake this weekend and we are looking for a nice spot along the river to relax, have a picnic. I would like to use my sluice also! I have poked around...

I was wondering if anybody has tried using sandbags to create a small dam for sluice set-up? My spot does not have many big rocks so I usually have to shovel clay chunks to make a dam. I usually try to sluice in shallow waters running next to or ontop of sandbars. Problem with shoveling...

Hi all, The creeks I'm trying to sluice in has no larger rocks so I need to build a leg system for my GGT Explorer to set in the creek. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or plans for a DIY set of legs. I'm not a great engineer lol, and the few ideas I've tinkered around with make me...

Hey guys! Been binge watching gold prospecting videos for WAY too long, and decided to give it a go. I've gotten pretty good, but given my location, there really aren't any good places to pan for gold. My YouTube channel has more, but is not geared specifically toward prospecting...

I recently acquired the Angus Mackirk Eureka sluice and will be using it for the first time this Saturday. I am fairly new to prospecting and this will be my first time using a sluice. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos on where and how to use a sluice but would love to get some tips...

Hi everyone, just got my prospector bazooka gold trap from luckydan --- got it shipped to Taiwan ( btw, these guys at luckydan were pretty nice and fast... so big up boyz). went to the river with a mate and we had some good result. around 15 full bucket ( 15 hald bucket each) and some nice...

I decided to rip the carpet out of my sluice, and I temporarily have V-mats installed. When my gold hog mats arrive next week I will be replacing it again with those. Anyways, I was so anxious to get everything setup that I used my concentrator to feed my sluice, as I couldn't come up with...

I'll mostly be in the East Fork San Gabriel river for the foreseeable future. I'm really struggling on which sluice to get here, I'm hoping you guys share any thoughts you have. They say the good gold is up higher (like 5 to 7 mile hikes) but I don't expect to be doing that most of the time if...

Hey guys, I only recently discovered the magic that is gold prospecting and sluicing. I live in Los Angeles and was just introduced to the East Fork of the San Gabriel River a while ago. I never really got serious about anything until about 2 weeks ago when I picked up a piece of quartz on my...

Clear Creek that runs outside of Denver was my first panning experience a couple summers ago and netted about 1/4 gram of dust and small flakes just using my pan over a couple months. I was hooked! So I started learning more about other processes and tools and came across the sluice box. To me...
