My New Highbanker

[Rdg Sluicer]

Got all the parts from South Yuba Mining co and added a 2" Honda pump. It's 12" wide by 57" long. I can dump full buckets unclassified and it just eats it up. Took GG advice and added a dam at the bottom. Does really well getting all sizes of gold.

If I was you I would either put a 90 elbow were your layflat connects to the pvc or get you a small piece of pvc hose like what a dredge uses and make your connection. Looks good other wise.

That was the first thing I noticed too.

what is the dam sorry not familiar with that. But am down for any thing that improves recovery, could you explain? Nice pc. of equipment.

The dam keeps fine material from migrating out the end of your sluice and creates a fluid bed. I get way more fines than I used to. In fact I have started using a Summit Mining Gold Bandit to clean them up because it just got to be too much to pan all the time.

That sounds great is there a thread on building that. looks like is just a higher riffle at the end of sluice is that right?

The dam is just a piece of 90 degree aluminum from Lowes riveted & sliconed in. Took all of about 5 min.

If your riffles are compressing the miners moss tight against the bottom of your sluice you do not need this dam.
I have one at the end of the sluice for my trommel because I am using 3# expanded over moss and cannot clamp it down tight enough.

I was gonna write a song once, " blue hose blues" I'd chuck that stuff worth anything else at twice the price, suffered so much down time with blue hose blow outs, arrgh still mad at it, lol Local fire department tests their hoses at least once a year, can pick up the ones that don't pass their strict QC for free, then get correct adaptor from any good pipe supply place
