Goldcube Sluice box (all in one)..helps with amalgamation and less panning.

[Dustedyou]

SO I decided to cut down on the amount of refined #100 sieve amalgamate that i have and try to cut down on the amount of panning by building a sluice box with a twist. Gold Cube the beginning of the box... seemed like the next jump in cutting down the amount of fill/muck i was having to pan. Anyhoo here it is .. Works like a charm except keeping the wife from picking out the nuggets while it's running ... lol




WEll just an Idea I thought i would share! The wife loves it! and I love that she's more than willing to load it up all day long..hehe!

Pretty neat set up, have you been finding much gold that makes it past the cube? I don't test the discharge from my cube too often since I haven't found anything yet.

were hard rock mining.. so unfortunately yes ... a ton makes it past because its stuck to junk.. so the sluice helps to weed out the excess.. found probably 60% of our gold was escaping the gold cube due to size and what its stuck too.

I don't use mercury Red.. its just amalgamated with a ton of heavy metal.. IE we have nice nuggies stuck to Molybdenum, platinum crystals, turquoise, silver sulfate, silver oxilate, and Valleriite.. its an ugly mix and the gold cube is my savior with the sluice, just due to not having a ball crusher to take it down to talcum powder.. IT's on my list of must builds tho..
The wife and i are processing in the back yard so mercury and Cyanide are out for us.. im having to pan and Aqua Regia it out! Using the term Amalgamate , i'm using it loosely to defer to the mix of minerals its mixed in with.
