  • Capture Fine Gold With A Simple River Sluice Modification
    In this video I tackle a problem... (not being able to catch a significant amount of Very Fine Gold that was escaping my Standard Sluice Setup - the result being I was left with many buckets of Tailings ... way too much material for a blue bowl). So naturally I set about coming up with a solution that could handle bulk material. Adopting a common large scale sapphiring concept (the use of Vibrations), I set about and was able to modify and thus convert my ordinary River Sluice into a Vibration Bed... and an extremely effective one at that. Watch as I test run and tweak this vibration Bed to get fantastic results. It only cost me about $70 and a day or two of time. Anyone can do this.

    You probably don’t want to think about how much gold you have thrown away over the years. Great idea

  • @alfonsozarate2458
    @alfonsozarate2458 3 місяці тому +2

    All it’s doing it’s mechanically breaking up the surface tension and allowing the surface gold to sink and gets trapped by the sluice box. Amazing video! Cheers from California! This is one of those one of kind think outside the box teachers that really know their stuff!

    I saw this setup a year or so back when you did a clean up for Chris, you explained the setup/how/why. I immediately ordered a new sluice and vibration motor from that video.
    Built my own, and love it!! I just now 38 minutes ago found your video, thanks for the set up idea. I’ve always thought adding vibration to the sluice would help settle more gold out. You proved it does. Thank you and God bless you sir‼️

    If you can't afford a concrete vibrator, a cheap orbital palm-sander is a good alternative. Buy a second-hand/used one, as they will trash their bearings if bolted securely. Mount it on springs.

    It is winter here for the next 3 months , I've plenty of wood for the wood stove and no reason not to go build a sluice with a built on vibrator and start tuning it up . I have a dozen buckets of material containg loads of super fine gold
    Thanks again !

    I like your riffle set up, similar to mine. About 8 years ago I was determined to make a riffle tray that could handle a variation in water flow and make the tray angle / pump size not so critical and catch a broader size of gold. To achieve that I had to reduce the size of the tray from 12 " to 8 "width to get the velocity I needed and I made up the riffle rack incorporating the 3 classic riffle designs, 4x Z, 4 x angled and 2 @ right angle. Spent ages making it up out of stainless etc and it was amazing what it captured and worked perfectly. These days Im getting lazy and I replaced it with the dream mat to save on processing time with the massive difference in cons volume. I was pretty proud of what I made but as it is with most things these days there is always someone else one step ahead. As per your vibrator, well done.
    cheers Johno

    This might be the best gold video on UA-cam, absolutely genius.
    Furthermore, finally there is somebody that made a gold video that tests the tailings. Everybody wants the ooooos and ahhhhhs from looking at the gold, but nobody seems to want to do the most important work that of testing the tailings. It's like we live in a world of idiots.
    I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to have found this video, made my day.

    So glad I saw this video. I have asked Pat Keene about this very idea and we discussed it at length for not only already being used in commercial setups but how to get it into small personal setups on the go. I have heard about snipers going in after a commercial season and people getting good fines out of their tailings from the season. A lot of these commercial outfits can still benefit and it blows my mind they don’t do this especially since they run so long and run mats that don’t have active exchange and clean outs at more often intervals.
    Another gentleman was talking about a two stage vibrator that not only changes RPM but also somehow frequency much like a sine wave testing generator for speakers. Meaning going through many frequencies to affect a better length of the box. But it seemed to be cheaper to run more vibrators along the length instead.
    Nonetheless this was an awesome video and I’m finally glad to see others think like I do and also get good results

    I am in the Mississippi river valley area and all we really have here is fine gold. I know a place with a really exceptional amount of it, but I've been struggling to figure out how to recover it. I think you've given me a really good thought though! Thanks for the video. I'm going to take my 9 year old son and my partner to that really good spot early next week. He's never been there but she has. Last time we went though, we really had no clue how to find gold. This time we're going in with a plan and a lot better equipment!

With your video and test and know now I'm on the right way ;)
