- Sorry for the long video, it was hard to edit all the info down to anything shorter. On this trip I compared my Bazooka Prospector with my Grizzly Explorer. I hope this helps anyone that may want to see a comparison of the two! I had a great day out on the river and got some gold! Thanks for watching!
Nice day my friend 👍 find gold in the river,,👍👍 greeting from Indonesian traditional gold finder friend ⚒️⛏️🇲🇨🇲🇨🇺🇸🔔✋✋✋✋✋
Great info FAM. Keep up the great work. Gold squad out!!!
Thanks man!
Great demo,nice gold a gram and a quarter in ten buckets, I'll take it
Sweet day, Great adventure enjoyed much .
1. DON'T USE SILICONE for your repair. Silicone won't stick to that plastic as well as the right stuff will. Those sluices are made of ABS, the same material as black plumbing pipe. Go to Home Depot or someplace similar and buy a small can of ABS cement - NOT the cement that will glue several different kinds of pipe (eg. white pipe and black both). This cement is actually dissolved ABS so when it dries it BECOMES ABS - like adding another layer of plastic! Open the joint and let goo fill the cracks and then you can build up a thicker joint like you would with silicone from a tube. It'll make the box a LOT sturdier.
2. Where did you get the leg brackets? That's neat.
3. Where did you get those gloves? I'd LOVE to have a pair of those!
Thanks for the tip! The leg brackets came with some of my Gold Hog equipment. The gloves are called shoulder gauntlets, you can google them. They have some on Amazon, I can’t remember exactly where I got mine.
1.31g.. very nice weight for one person on a day trip. That's hard work. Excellent job. I very much love the under flow tech as well.
Thank you for the information on the sluices. I also have been looking at the Green Mountain Gold Trap.
The Green Mountain Gold Trap looks amazing. It’s a little expensive, but it’s a get what you pay for kind of thing. The quality looks great, a lot of craftsmanship goes into them.
Awesome video, I’ve never really paid attention to how those fluid beds work great information! Good luck.
They work great, as long as you have enough flow.
Very good comparison of the Grizzly and the Bazooka sluices.👍 Lots of information from the person that uses them.👌 Incredible looking area. ✔The Green mountain gold trap is an amazing piece of equipment. 👍👍Good gold recovered. Thanks for sharing.😎👍👍⛏⛏
Thanks!
Nice gold and comparison mate👍👍👍
Thank you so much for such a through comparison of the Bazooka Gold Trap (GT) Prospector with the Grizzly GT Explorer. Very well done. I like my Bazooka GT sluices but was considering a Grizzly GT. I did not realize the Grizzly Explorer was that much lighter duty than the Bazooka. I agree with the comment by James Voorhies. Rather than using silicone to seal the separated deck and sides of the Grizzly GT, would suggest considering using ABS cement to weld it and maybe with another small strip of ABS to strengthen the joint. While I have fed a Bazooka Prospector (gently) with a shovel, it sounds like the Grizzly Explorer might not hold up to that.
You found that the over all recovery of gold was essentially identical. Both of these fluid bed sluices do a great job recovering fine to coarse gold, but the issue is the really fine gold, where the longer trap and potentially lower angle of the trap in the Grizzly GT might be better. So the question is what did you use to recover the really fine gold from the concentrate? and can you recover -50, -100, -200 if your running them as flat as you can to feed the gravel through? Once again great video! Thank you
I have definitely recovered -200 in both, but I will say the GGT recovers more of it. I think it’s because of the flatter trap, more jets per size of trap. A lot gets trapped in the riffles too. I dump buckets and toss shovel fulls on the BGT, but wouldn’t on the GGT.
@@libertymining5728 Thank you, just as I thought. I fully agree that these fluid bed sluices are better than conventional riffle type sluices. Since running the sluice as flat as possible is likely key to improving recovery of -100 and -200, I wonder if it would help to lightly sand down the texture on a portion of the deck of the BGT upstream of the trap so that it is a little slicker. Although it would make it harder to see if you were getting gold, the gravel might feed through a little better when the sluice is flatter. Has anyone tried that?
Sounds like that might work, though I haven’t heard of anyone trying it. The green mountain gold trap is made with acrylic, so it might be smoother.
actually that was perfect...watched, and skipped many of these videos, as not very engaging, but somehow you pulled it off...i made it to the end, and was interested the whole time...broke it up with some spots, some scoops, kept rythym well, and who can beat natural water sounds, not voice cancelling music...and actually a good analysis...keep up the good work...
Thanks man, that means a lot! The break down helps a ton!
Good
the red has been extinguished, the duration is also safe. waiting for confirmation back from my friend 😀😀
excellent video friend and colleague! I will use these equipment in the future, for now I am using the MAKRO GOLD KRUZER Detector. I leave you my like and support for the channel, I hope we will be friends soon. Greetings from the Dominican Republic
Cool video those gloves would be ideal in AK cold water lol. Or on a farm berthing cattle lol lol keep it up be safe & pan on.
Haha I’m ready for anything! They do work great!
Good video👍⛏
Nice bro keep it up. Heavy pans
I have the Bazooka and it works great, probably the only one in Sweden 🇸🇪
Yep, Joseph makes nice Gold Trap.
I’ll have one some day I’m sure!
Great info and video!! You need to get a more sensitive scale. You are probably getting more gold than you think 😁😁😁🍻🍻⛏⛏⛏
Yea, this one fluctuates sometimes. Usually if I leave it alone for a second it will settle out and be within .01.
I just recently found your videos and they are very informative. I've been considering the GGT or the Gold Hog stream sluice. I'm concerned about water flow with the Grizzly gold trap. In Colorado after spring run off the water flow in the small steam on my claim can make it difficult to set up a stream sluice. Have you used the Gold Hog stream sluice. I feel like low water flow would work better with the Gold Hog but i would have to classify. With the GH but not the GGT. I could also back up my keene High banker with the Gold Hog but couldn't use it with the Grizzly Gold Trap. Any thoughts about this? Thanks!
This an old video but I own a gold hog stream sluice and you need alot of flow for it to work properly it comes with a low flow mat as well as the high flow but u need a good ripping flow not deep but fast and a little drop in the creek helps also you dont need to classify at all. Im sure by now u watched a few videos of it. The gold hog stream sluice is a beast if u have the right flow and conditions.
Good job man 👌
Nice take for the day wish we were allowed sluices in creeks but here in bc canada its prohibited
Aren’t you guys allowed to high bank up there?
If you want to build the Bazooka 36" and the Mini yourself I got one when they where still available and took all the measurements and put it into CAD. Here are the drawings and PDFs: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yZvsyZtlHrKdEB-4-LsT8I693du6piQ6?usp=sharing
They both look good. I'm really interested about how they catch gold
I'm sure glad I didn't drop 500$ on a new grizzly. Ill hang on to my bazooka...as thick as its made I can etch some v ribs on my deck.
I’m at 10 minutes in this video and you say you never brought your waders?
Yea, I didn’t bring them on this trip. They would allow me to walk further out into the river where setting up my fluid beds would be easier.
Can't hear you!
Grizzy is a scam they will take your money and never receive anything
