recirculating sluice box

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

 

[tweeta_bear]

ive classified it down to 1/4"

im just gonna go get a power head tomorrow! i hope that a 1" water supply line is enuff.

so i decieded to run the 1/2 a bucket of material i had. not huge but its a start!

i think i figured out why i dont have the flow that i should. it turns out i should be using an 1 1/2" hose instead of 1".

Nice little micro-picker!

Not many that size in the creeks and rivers up in my neck of the woods,
but there is quite a bit of float/flood gold to be found. Unfortunately, it takes
a whole lot of flood gold to amount to much as it's typically about as thick
as gold leaf.

thanks. with a lil more practice ill have a handfull hopefully. i didnt even get as deep in the hole as i wanted. there is a big rock in front of a bigger rock and i couldnt get it out to go down farther. tomorrow im gonna buy me a 70" tempered head spud bar so i can pry the big/stuck rocks out of the way, then im gonna go move that rock and try again.
