I cover how to setup and run the cleanup sluice. Then I process everything that went threw the cleanup sluice, overnight in the rock tumbler with mercury to see what the sluice box didn't keep.

That was a master class in gold recovery. I think that these videos are where you come into your own on KZfaq, I know that you do all kinds of prospecting and hunting for the good stuff but this is where you put the time back in when your'e at home - not at the river / creak. Great stuff

@boneyfreak9197 5 жыл бұрын

Good winter work. We used to just dump the B.Sand back in the river to let the gold grow up since the usual hump out was mile + @ 40-50 deg 2.5-3hrs bust'n butt out & 20 mins in. Anyone that wanted the B.sand could hump it out but 100% of the time they did it once and never again, LOL.

My grandfather was a prospector and I wish I had had more time to spend with him to learn his skills. I live just south of some mountains here in Redlands California so I'm hoping to get up on some creeks to do some scraping for some nuggets. This video in particular will come in handy.

If you take a short piece of the trouph cut off one side then put a bend to make a curl then slide it into the top groove`s -I used an end cap on mine but the piece you cut will slide just above in the groove`s and make a smooth flow then you don`t get a force flow , Have a look at mine .Last night I got watching yours and fell asleep so you got 11 vids watched from me so I`m going thru them now .

@phillipjacobson4498 4 жыл бұрын

I prefure sifting in water seams like it passes material thru faster. Then I dry and remove magnetics then I re wet and run them thru the cleanup sluice. I never run dry fines, as gold can float out into the tub. ( the -100 mesh gold.)

It is a lot faster, but you end up with more to clean up at the end. The blue bowl is slow, but you can pick up your gold with a snuffer bottle.

@bowhunter_vavirginia6189 6 жыл бұрын

Gary, thanks for a very interesting video. Question, when you are tumbling your black sand, do you use any media to crush the black sand to release the gold that can be trapped inside the black sand? I always drop in a few steel ball bearings, but I don't know if that helps or not.

@TwoToes 6 жыл бұрын

If I am running material that is larger, 10 to 20 mesh I will put metal scraps in to brake things up. When I run the fine black sands, I like to tumble the material at least 24 hours, that way the black sand will scrub every thing clean.
