recirculating sluice box

[tweeta_bear]

here is the supply tube i made... im wondering if the holes are to small.

 

[tweeta_bear]

i even implemented a 4th catch.

 

[tweeta_bear]

looks like im all ready ecept for the silicone to dry then add water.

how many gallon tub should use for sluice box? does this look big enuf?

Why not hand the pump from the side of the tub away from the bottom so the pumps pulls clean water into the impeller.

 

[tweeta_bear]

should my pump be completely covered in water? when i start this thin up i am going to fill each container with the amount of water it will have when running.

 

[Jason in Enid]

Yes, the pump should be completely under water.

Well, Hello.
'thought I would show my 1 year old set up off.. Excuse the video , I have been given a major sommer cold...

 

[tweeta_bear]

thanks for showing me your video... very cool.

 

[tweeta_bear]

hahaha i could do this. added catch!

Looking good. I'm getting ready to build a similar setup, though the recirc will only be at home. I'm going to put it on an adjustable stand, so as to use it as a mini high banker this winter.

 

[tweeta_bear]

thats cool. i tryed to make it to break down quick for transpo. i was also thinking of making a high banker attachment for mine.

 

[tweeta_bear]

whats is your opinion on miners moss? i was thinking about putting some in the first half of my sluice but not sure. i think the tiny ricks will get stuck in it.

 

[Sample Pan Dan]

The miners moss works great. Yes lots will get stuck in it, and its kind of a pain in the ass to get thoroughly clean but it traps gold great. Although the tiny gold can get under the miners moss and travel down. So I use half miners moss, and half Keene carpet. In my box.

 

[tweeta_bear]

that shits pretty expensive. i may do the same.

 

[tweeta_bear]

should my water be spraying out? i dont think its working right. should my holes be bigger?

 

[tweeta_bear]

im getting a build up of material on one side but its level.

 

[tweeta_bear]

should i put a countersink on the holes?

 

[okla. prospector]

I don't think it has enough volume of water.

 

[tweeta_bear]

well its a 2200gph pump i bought from the prospector shop. he said that thats how much water should go threw it. so maybe i need to make the holes bigger?

 

[okla. prospector]

That's what I would do

All the riffles need to have water covering them. The sluice needs to have a 1" drop for every foot in length.
