I enjoy your trips. Keep them coming. Yippers, cracks are the most frustrating because it's so hard to get that dirt with the fine gold. I built a battery pack to run one of those bucket head shop vacs from Home Depot that fit on a 5 gallon bucket. It really does a number on cleaning cracks. It's wet and dry so you can suck out water filled cracks as well. When you fill a bucket, you just take off the top and put it on another bucket and go some more. Can't beat it for $21.00.
@@goldnwithjoe4867 I think I can give you kind of an idea. I and my grandson do quite a bit of Urban Prospecting as I can no longer drive to get out to work my claim. But we find more than plenty of material around here to work. We actually do a lot better than I did working the claim. The cracks and crevices we get into are very similar to what they are out in the field. Here is one of my videos on the set up that I put together. It's not very fancy as I just threw it together one day to make it easier to pack around and one of these days I'll spruce it up a bit. Sorry but for some reason it will not make a click on link so you will have to copy and paste. ua-cam.com/video/xfMwLoDwD3c/v-deo.html I have used this little vac quite a bit out in the mountains when I can get out but I don't have a video on it. It's a wet/dry vac and so you can fill a crevice with water and work it with a crevice tool to loosen the material and then suck all the material and water out. I ran into a gentleman that uses one as a dredge in the streams. It works well but you can only fill the bucket to about 3/4 of the way as the motor shuts off when the water level gets to a certain point. A nice thing is when a bucket is full you just pop off the head and put it on another bucket and keep on going. The main thing I really love about this is, when you work rocky crevices, you get that fine material that you just can't quit sweep up with a brush and has a lot of the fine gold in it. This takes care of the problem. Hope this helps.
Great videos. My wife even enjoys watching you dig. I would only make one suggestion. Have the fellow that’s filming hold the phone/camera in the LANDSCAPE position, rather than upright or vertical. You view this on a tv screen or a computer and the actual footage only shows up on the middle third of the screen. It would be lots nicer to see the whole view. Regards, and keep on goldn. Ted.
The battery is at full power. It worked great twice and now wont suck hardly at all. I cleaned it, the filter, the hose, everything. It blows great, just wont suck.
That is one HARD way to make a dollar (literally)!!!

Care to show us a picture? Sounds like the ticket.

Thank you sir!
Keep it coming Joe
nice work man keep it up
Have you ever tried a backvac?
Tell me about it, Aubrey. Never heard of it.
I would have expected bigger pieces of gold based on the response of the metal detector.
So did we!
Gold'n with Joe . Thanks again for the great videos , really helps pass the time! Heavy pans!
Get more battery packs Joe.

Check the seal joe it might be set in the groove right
@@davevan1928 the seal around the canister is tight. It's got me stumped. I'm about ready to put it out of my misery.
