Thank you

no problem, I love quotes:)

Diky , tobje taky preji panve plné zlatinek :)

I made 4” dredge , and most my gold mining stuff , it’s fun for me , the gold is just something nice extra, where is your claim ?

@@djpitr it’s in quesnel, Canada. That’s is where the gold rush started in Canada so a nice history of gold. I make my stuff just for myself too because I love to build things. I made an attachment for the gold cube that should do really well. All 12 volt pumps and a water turbine for power.

That’s pretty cool , you got pictures or video ? What kind of gold you finding at your claim? is it profitable?

@@djpitr the gold there is really good, I am hoping an ounce a week at least. Harder digging there but need to test the rest of the claim. I do have a few pictures of it what I made and added a new piece to it this year I just finished up with little grizzly bars.

@@hopiumswapexchange you could email me pictures to Djpitr@me.com or I’m of Facebook

I always use safety pan after the sluice, and the setup is not losing gold

Zlatu zdar :) , v česku najdeš i Vic než jen zlatinky , vydél jsem krásný nugget z okoli zlatých hor , nalezen asi před 3mi lety

Thank you

If you want a few tips, check out Chris Ralph, Vo-Gus prospecting, THE GOLD MINER, Alan Robinson. I live north east Victoria, lots of prospecting areas. Near the golden triangle. Nice bush land. Central Victoria is metal detecting, where I am is river panning and sluicing. Reedy Creek vo-gus talks about is about 40min. Rushworth is about 50min. Bendigo is 2hrs drive. Australia a great place to see. Russell

@@RustyCandyAdventures thanks, I’m prospector for 12 years :) so I think I know a lot about it , I’m in SC and prospect SC , NC ,GA here around me , lately with me 4” dredge , and yes Victoria triangle is on my bucket list to visit and metal detect , much bigger gold then I’m getting around here

@@djpitr maybe one day catch up. I did not know sorry. It always learning hobbie. The best time for Victoria is Nov, Dec. Feb is hot and can knock you around and fires. Gumtrees are full of oil and go off. Mar to April great. Put Ballarat (sovereign Hill theme park) and Bendigo on your list. Inglewood good place not too much rubbish. Rushworth full but you can find. Chewton near Castlemaine. I stay at whallala is a must, do the train and climb to cricket pitch. Graves bodies are standing. Put on your list Great Ocean road. Tower Hill, Port Fairy. Timboon railshed whiskey / food. Mansfield- Tolmie(Ned Kelly Tree)into King Valley (wines). Eldorado dredge. Beachworth and bright. Russell

@@RustyCandyAdventures thank you lot of great info , I will save it a d research it

Sluice is 6” wide , the top it’s 8” to 7” , this battery is little expensive, it’s only 20amh , the pumps in video are the cheep ones , they draw 5amp/h each , I upgraded to better pumps they are 3amp/h each

Small 35amp lawnmower battery would work great for 6 hours constant running

@@djpitr So about 5 to 10Ah does average 6 to 8" sluice. Round average 7amps/hour for average 7 inches width. An amp per inch per hour. Plus spare to not ruin the battery by deep discharge. No ability to wash out big oversize, (you use manual assistance for that) but clearly enough to wash unclassified material. The pump load will be volume x resistance x height. Resistance will be tube diameter, not much to do there. Minimising height to lift the water becomes key because it is easier to reduce by creativity. You had the highbanker already in the river which makes good sense by reducing lift = reducing power consumption. Low profile designs will; go longer on a given battery. So my drawings will change again I think to take this into account. I looked into brushless pumps. Nothing significant available in the retail market. But BL will double efficiency. I considered making a thrust nozzle with a model marine prop in a tube and BL outrunner powering it. The speed controller and throttle (a servo tester probably) are vulnerable kit exposed to damage. That way is complicated but not unsurmountable. For a brushless motor power double or a duration double it will probably get tried at some stage. Higher voltage would reduce amps for more efficient and cooler components, esp if inside protective covering they need to be kept as cool as possible. That means a high Volt low KV motor driving a DIY pump "might" do 2 inches per amp. So 8" sluice at 4A per Hr x 5 Hrs = 20Ah plus say 1/3 spare capacity = 25-30Ah 24V battery might be a basic rule of thumb. You have given me loads of info to work with Peter. Many thanks. My next winter project is getting clearer!

@@phisquared6187 love it brother , looks like you know what you talking about :) yeh the lithium battery have built in safety when it’s voltage drops to 10v it completely shuts of so you can destroy it , the Johnson pumps are great , more efficient, and you right I can’t find right PM pump anywhere, good idea of use of trolling PM motor to make pump , they efficient

Well no , u will not “burn” the battery .. bud it will not last long ! Probably 10 min :) , you can calculate how many amps the pump pulling per hour , and the numbers on your battery tells you how manny amps per hour u have , to keep the battery healthy you don’t want to pull more then 50% of your battery amps before you recharge it again, if you use lead acid battery

I think it was 3/16

Great battery, super lightweight, around 4-5 hours

600

2 bilge pumps each needs 3amp the small lithium battery it’s 20ah , 3 hours , I usually have backup bigger battery with me 35ah

@@djpitr interesting... so you swear by lithium for the job ? 3 hrs its brilliant for such a small battery.

Yes , it’s doing great, this one have all the safety stuff inside, it will complete stop when the voltage drops to 10v to protect the battery from discharging too much , u can buy bigger and have juice for all day with more pumps:) it just get pricey:) , electric cars like Tesla uses same lifepo4 batteries and they warranty them for 10 years , buy good quality smart charger

@@djpitr unreal looking at them now... the weight difference is massive compared to my current deep cycle batterys..... do you find they charge alot quicker? im wanting somthing to use for a 3700 GPH bilge to my trommel...hhow are things where you are? we are still in lockdown here in Australia... crazy times... i just want to go dig!

I’m in South Carolina USA it’s good here if you don’t listen stupid media :) lot of lies around this virus , if you talking about 3700gph pump from eBay I have it , very inefficient, it takes lot of amps , I think I would rather buy 3 1200gph quality pumps that’s are lot more efficient of energy use , the best ones I found here are Johnson pumps , I don’t know what u have in Australia , the best would be find a PM motor pump , brushless pernament motor pump , super efficient motor and will last for ever ,
