    Good job, Gary! GPAA has been making a bundle of money on those clean up sluices for years. Heres a little tip, when you see the mobile gutter installers in your neighborhood, they will usually give you a piece of gutter for nothing. I have used these with the two bucket 12 V bilge pump recirculating method. They work great once you figure out the proper rate of fall. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos. You my friend are a wealth of information for both the beginner prospector and us old timers!

    Thanks to you Gary, we built our own adjustable cleanup sluice so we could adjust the rate of fall, but I welded rifflers to catch the extra smalls that might have got lost. Finally like you, we added the roll and extended our sluice to suit our prospecting. You painstakingly built a beaut there. You have a wonderful simple method, and above all are patient. You're a great teacher, too. So many thanks to you, though I should have thanked you sooner. All the very best!

    Amazing coincidence Gary, I just made one of these yesterday! What I found is that the double inside lip gutter is extremely hard to find now. I had to find some second hand gutter for both side with an internal lip. New gutters only have the internal lip on one side. Great video though. 👍

      It would take all my black sand to load it! Then on clean up I would end up with the same amount of sand, would have to start over and run it again - Hey! wait a minuet! Did Jeff put you up to this to keep me busy, so he can get ahead again?

    • @TwoToes

    Couple of questions: It looks in your end shot of the glue-in vs. the slide-in version that the FLAT side is UP. is that just a trick of the light-and-camera? Also - what is the length of those little jewels? And why did you decide on THAT length? And again - most gutter systems have premade end caps. Why not use those instead of the cut-and-bend version?
    Great sluices! Some of us are a little slow, though, and need more info. (Me, for example.)

    • @TwoToes
      @TwoToes  6 років тому +1

      They are a little over 3 feet. The mat comes 3 foot wide, that is the longest you can go. I'm cheep, why buy a end cap when you can make one in 5 minuets. Thanks - Gary
