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!

This is awesome. There are videos on how to build sluices but you're actually building it showing exactly how it's done. Great video Gary. The best on KZfaq.

Fair play, Gary - I do like it when someone uses their initiative and a few (very basic!) skills to build something that really works. Top job!

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!

Great video thanks for showing how to make this... I live in Wisconsin so we have no real need here for a gold pan. But I do have some old bags of safety that split open. So I want to see if there's any gold in it like I've seen others find... So I'll make a screem to sceen it down and make me one of those being I already got everything but the mat, and I'm sure Manards will have that... Thanks again...

Gary, this video is just what the Doctor ordered! Your ability to think outside the box in constructing home-made prospecting tools is superb! Question: Is the matting that you used a regular size floor mat or does it have to be cut from a roll at Lowes? Thank you for your help!

@TwoToes 6 жыл бұрын

It come on a 3 foot wide roll. The ribs run across the roll so you can just get the amount you need. I think its made to be hall runner.

separating the black sand can be extremely tough when the black sand is larger than your gold. I'm definitely going to try this! The amount of black sand I have is incredible. Will let you know how it goes. Don't have a yardstick but got a carload of 1x2's which should work fine. Thank you sir!

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.)

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
