Building a Homemade Aluminum Cleanup Sluice. Testing Dream Mat.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Have you ever wanted to build your own cleanup sluice out of aluminum, but you don't have a metal bender? Watch this video to learn how to bend up a scrap piece of aluminum diamond plate into a six inch wide clean up sluice that works pretty well!
Use whatever mat setup you like, but I found that the dream mat micro mat up top, followed by the rough top conveyor belt (sometimes sold on eBay as vortex mat) works pretty well! I don't think the third mat is needed unless you are very particular about catching 100% of your gold.

My new snuffer is a clear ketchup container from a restaurant supply and I used a 3/16" brass tube. Love it.
I have a plastic 16oz coke bottle snuffer. I’ll have to try ketchup next.
Great job all around fam. Glad I found you. Keep on having fun and living the dream fam. Gold Squad Out!!!
I just started building one yesterday so i like seeing your ideas on this
Found trimclad black gloss spray paint works good on 5/8" plywood use no glue just predrill and use deck screws
Good ol' Tremclad spray paint! Wood is surprisingly durable if you treat it right.
Awesome stuff! I am building a cleanup sluice for all my cons from my panning tubs, thinking of going the same route you did.
Go for it!
I've been looking for some videos on how to build equipment. Stumbled upon these, you definitely got a new subscriber. Watching all that gold come out at the end was absolutely awesome
Glad to hear it! Hopefully they help you out.
I am always amazed watching your videos . They are always very well put together , I do have a question about your miller table and that is can you post a video on how you built the miller table that you use . I would really appreciate that..
If I ever build another one I'll film it and show the full build for you. Basically you just need a perfectly flat surface, and a way to spread out the water...
Well for sh*t sakes ! Well done !
Thanks!
Awesome brother... excited to see this! Just got all dream mats... 10x36, banjo micro and adventure sluice!
Awesome, have fun!
All mats ,waste time
Use magnetic
All gold is small
Use magnitite as riffle
Great Video Mate ... !!!
Enjoyed Watching Your Skills and Commentary.
Have a Wonderful Week
Take Care and Stay Safe
🙏✌️💛🇦🇺
dream mat should recover 95%
Awesome build 👍🏻I like how you show you don’t need welders & a fancy metal shop to build things 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Being mechanically inclined has its advantages... being in construction also has its advantages to get material almost free...left over material and alittle know how you're winning!
I do alot of medical facilities, most have exhaust sytems in their labs that are made of aluminum or stainless ductwork there's always some left over 3', 4' lengths, 8,10,12" wide, usually they'll be 8x8 10x10 12x12 and so on, then whats left just gets trashed.... yep trashed alright right into the bed of my pickup. lol 😆 buy a mat and you're livin! I'll have a free highbanker by summers end! And maybe some sluice boxes to sell to my peeps very cheaply might I add! Lol
You can run an inch of water over that dream matts
God work best licensing vidio. i like it.
Good deal man! That was awesome to watch you sweep that table ad have gold suddenly appear. I played a joke on my nephew using that portion of the video. Said that you had invented a new brush that could sweep gold powder from sea water. We forgot to tell him we were picking, and on the last day of their beach trip, my sister called and said Hunter had packed 10-28oz Gatorade bottle of beach water because Uncle J was going to get him a brush to make gold! I’ve got about 4hours and 15mins to invent a gold powder sweeping brush. Think I see some god eyeshadow and fine glitter in the near future!
Awesome stuff! ....subbed
Why dont you get a blue bowl
19:42 yes.... this is the stuff what we find on the river Rhein ;-). greetings from germany
How exactly did you say how to build the header box from wood?
I'm not exactly sure how to shape the perfect header box, but when working with wood I would just recommend you coat it with something that will keep it from swelling up and breaking down. Don't worry too much about sealing it all if you are able to dry it out between each use, but I would recommend thinning the sealer you use for the first coat so that it soaks into the grains of the wood and then it will keep protecting it even when the surface layer wears off.
Really good.
This is such a good video thank you 🙏 from uk
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow
11:02 nice =), do you have a link to this?=)
Sorry, I haven't got anything going into detail on that mat yet.
Thank you for sharing your learning experiences and of course your gold clean up. I am highly impressed with your videos.
Thank you!
Nice job and I look forward to seeing you again. ✌🏼👌🏼🤙🏼👍🏼
Thanks 👍
10:48 that’s some fine gold
That’s pretty awesome, that micro Dream mats does wonders catching fine gold.
Yeah, as a cleanup sluice it's really nice stuff!
With the direction of folding , are you saying if you fold with the cut inside the sluice , that the edges will butt against each other preventing the full 90 degree bend ?
That is correct. It's more important with thicker material, but also just leaves the nice clean edge on the inside so that the gold has nowhere to get stuck.
Hahah, killer clean up on your old tailings pail, your new sluice set up seemed simple enough, sharp👍
Thanks!
best video i've seen so far, great job. now I have ideas and more confidence
Thanks. I'm glad you found it helpful!
That is pretty sweet. A nice well deserved gold bonus 😃
Thank you 😁
Nicely done
Thanks!
Nice surprise Kyle! Do you ever snuffer up gold right from your auto feeder ABS pipe? Looks like it gets clean enough to do so.
I usually just wait until the next step and let the sluice do it's work. But that's a good Idea, maybe I'll try!
@@UtmostOutdoors - let's see it on video : )
Nice bonus ✌👍
Yeah, I was surprised!
Awesome.
Thanks!
There is a mat we call "V RIB" - is often used early in a river sluice to assist as an indicator of the presence of gold.
I find it very useful in a clean up sluice - You may wanna get yourself a piece and try it
Catches very little nonsense yet still catches lots of gold
Did you make the Miller table?
I did. I bought the green hobby cutting mat from micheals art supply store, and set it on a sealed piece of plywood. The key is setting the slope just right and using some jet dry in the water.
