If you plan on using a Trommel in the Desert then you need to take a look at this design for recirculating the water.
We met Allan out on his claim and decided to stop by to take a look at his invention....the de-watering screw.
It works really well and helps reclaim your water.
For more on his Design check out his videos at the link...
• Allan's Gold Mining Tr...
• Gold Mining Dry Washer...
If you do see Allan out in Lost Basin make sure you stop by to say
" Howdy " and if you ask nicely he just might show you where the Gold is.

Hey Jeff, congrats on the 100,000 subs! Ive been itching to get out and find some gold myself but winter is coming and im running out time to do that. I think I found a great spot to find some lode gold. The bed rock is made up of gneiss, mylonite rock with granite and pegmatite intrusions. There are lots of yellow and iron stained quartz veins everywhere. The mylonite and gneiss is full of iron it seems because most of them are completely rusted over. This is all part of what they call a metamorphic core complex. I did pan some material and found really small gold. I hope to find a rock crusher soon to sample all the quartz and pegmatites.

After I went to Gold Hog mats I’ll never use anything else.... running my old trash pile awaiting gardening I ended up recovering more gold that I initially caught with regular riffle setups and to think I have been throwing that stuff away. Jeff u should check out their multi sluice for reduction and getting to final cleanup... two runs; down to a cup on run one and then a teaspoon on final. I loved my gold cube but the retention on black sands was kinda cumbersome. I really wish you would do a vid with Doc sometime

BIG open pitt copper mines extract the atomic turqoise copper from the soils, but also get gold and other elements too. Most of the gold that’s left is atomic, which requires acids to extract.

Jeff if you want to get a lot of gold what you should do is pass the material through the strainer of several measures or a trommel 3 meters long and that material processed by a table shaker, you will be crazy with the results

@richardrobertson1331 6 жыл бұрын

Jeff, it looks to me like the level of clay suspended in the water after a while would cause enough suspended solids to permit considerable fine gold to remain suspended. Has he sent the mud thru a second time with clean water and some Jet-Dry just to check? Maybe one of your viewers should figure out a remedy. Great video, Jeff, I always like to see how people's minds work to solve problems with new home-made equipment.

@allansgoldmining 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Richard. I can process about a yard of material before the water needs purging. The fine silt settles primarily in the first tub. Virtually no silt in the third. I use Jet Dry. I have also reprocessed the material with fresh water and recovered nothing. Gold at -200 mesh if far heavier then the suspended micro-fine silt, and doesn't seem to effect the recovery. I'm currently designing a new dewater trommel that will screen filtrate down to 400 mesh, thus increasing my capacity to process more yardage with the same volume of water.

Jeff - Do you and Slim live in Arizona? I found a location in the Arizona desert where a deposit of old river bottom material is situated right on top of exposed granite bedrock. A perfectly clean termination between the river bottom material [very hard, like caliche] and the granite. Even though Slim doesn't talk much, you and him seem to know what you're doing. Let me know if you want to look at this place, or I can send you photos. I'd like for someone who knows about mining to tell me how to attack this deposit. No existing claims on the location. I checked.
