Blue Bowl Mod Question

[GoldinSocal]

Having an idea/thought on a giant blue bowl and wondered what some of yous guys thought. Anyways, i wanted to know if any members here thought a bowl fabricated out of say aluminum in the same dimentions as a blue bowl only scaled up say 10X the original size or 100 gallons or so, maybe coated with some latex paint or some other useable surface and powered by a small gas powered water pump could work? In theory or otherwise.

I was thinking the same. More concentrates=more gold. Might start working on mine this week

At Pioneer Mining, home of the Blue Bowl, they have a prototype Blue Bowl where a small child can sit in... I forget what the issue was with that size?

Instead of latex paint, what about chalkboard paint on the bottom? Fine gold sticks to slate like crazy, and there are some clean up machines that use chalkboard paint painted on aluminum.

Seems as though the dimensions can't be exactly to scale. Higher water pressure would blow fine gold though the center along with black sand? Bigger area is fine but lower center ridge and just enough water pressure might work

Make sure you put some drink holders around the side in case it doesn't work you can have a hot tub

My father made many sizes (prototypes), and I believe the one Pioneer has is one of them. My father was a lazy miner, always looking for easier ways to get the gold, more of it, and faster.
Reptwart, you are correct in the fact the higher water pressure made the larger DAM Blue Bowls worthless.

Bigger isn't always better.

"My father was a lazy miner". I represent that statement!!!

There was a guy on the forums a few years back who figured out a similar process. He called it the two bucket method and I think he tried to market it under the name 2BM
You might google around for this. He swore it was effective but others were skeptical. I never tried it so decide for yourself

Here is a interesting thread you might look at.
