good build and nice work, I am in the middle of building a fluid bed sluice right now.. I will have a video posted on it when I am done and had a field tested... Thanks for shearing..
Shootin4Bedrock Awesome Rich, if I do I will for sure ask.. I watched this video and your other one a couple of times and some others and looked at the drawing of the bazooka before I started.. I have been planning it for awhile now.. Thanks again and I am glad you are part of my YT community... Thanks again..
Thanx Phi. Fluid Bed sluices are a little more touchy about how they are setup than what other mfg.'s would have you believe. Ya don't just throw it in the stream and make sure there is water flowing over the slick plate. If not done right it will blow gold out the back end. That's why the removable trap was added.
Awesome build,I just made one Saturday and made a video with it Sunday,I’m blowing out a good bit of gold,is there anyway you would take a peek and see if it’s a design flaw or setup error. Any help is much appreciated.
Fantastic build, one of the best I've seen, very well done Shootin4Bedrock! I'm in the middle of modifying my bazooka with larger tubes - trying to create more exchange. Really enjoyed the video and learned a few things too:-)
Thanx jaffyger, It's been in use now for a full season and a few modifications have been made but I think its a winner where fluid bed sluices are concerned. It seems to trap the gold, (even -60 flour), really well.
Now that's a awesome sluice.I am a beginner.Does it also trap small gemstone inside the trap.I seem to be catching more gems then gold.What is your fav type of sluice.Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
+mindy and joe b. Hi, It all depends on the weight of the gemstone and the rate of flow you have going thru the box. I do find very small quartz and topaz, (no diamond yet...), in the concentrate. I like the fluid bed sluices the best as they don't take so long to clean. Downside though is they do take more volume of water than a riffle type sluice to work properly. You have to keep a fairly decent flow to get the exchange to take place in the bed and wash away the lights. Thanx for watching...Rich.
Thanx LD, I actually am in the works now of manufacturing them for sale. It's gonna be a winter project so maybe by next spring we will have them available for purchase. We also have plans for a high banker kit that attaches to it that can be purchased separately.
Love this thing and it is very well made for the price
very nie qnd simple . love the clean out.
Friking badass design! Removable trap, genius!

Thanx Ed,
Been watching your vids for quite some time now. If during your FB sluice build you have any questions just message me. Rich.

Nice design there Shootinbedrock!
I really like the removeable cartridge trap box.
Thanx Phi.

I used 1” tube and put a ton of 1/8 holes I wonder if I did to many
Wish you had a PFD file or drawing I could work from
Nice build and good views of the operation. Good use for the electrical PVC. And catches gold too. Good job. I subbed to you #128
Doc at Gold Hog uses lots of 1/16 holes with his fluid bed. Are 1/8 holes better when not using a pump?
Awesome build
nice work. are there any plans to publish design? it looks fairly simple but notes would help the non builder....

You definitely win the design award. Now how can I talk you into building me one? I subscribed can't wait to see more of your videos. Good job.
Very nice build.
That is way cool as a new kid at this, do you have plans for this build?
Any way you can make me one and I'll buy it and pay for shipping
well done
Wow there very cool setup , :) SKK.
Yeah man!
that is cool i like it
