quik sand at my local home depot is $5.93 a 50lb bag, while this is interesting don't think it would in the end be worth the end cost of sand vs gold found. glad you found something.

[@onedayoffprospecting]

No not worth it for sure.

I wish everyone that tried this would give their location.. I did try this over the last couple of days ( Orlando, FL) I am a novice at this, but have never failed to find gold in a place where I know there is gold. I only have a pan, no sluice. It took me a bit to get through 50lbs of sand, but in the end I found nothing A few thoughts: I suck at panning :) There is so little gold in Home Depot sand that I missed it I have the wrong kind of sand ( all purpose play sand, the only sand they had that day) Home Depot gets its sand locally?? Why would anyone ship sand to Florida ( no known gold in Florida) Just my experience and thoughts…

I am in So. California

[@stanorlowski6797]

That was probably stuck in your sluice or mats from previous washings .

[@onedayoffprospecting]

I don’t think that would be possible. I used a new carpet just for that reason.

[@reece8864]

I've wanted to try this for quite awhile, but have no idea how to set-up my sluice with a recirculating pump..

[@onedayoffprospecting]

There are many ways and some videos on set up. I did a few different ways until I figured out the best way for me.

[@robertjkraczek436]

Where does the Home Depot sand come from?

[@hapypapy781]

Now what do you do with the 50 pounds of sand that you washed?

[@onedayoffprospecting]

Great question. Actually I am going to make some new sand filters for my desert recirculation system. That helps keep the pump zone free of sediment for a longer period of time. Thanks for asking.

[@mandybrown7758]

Lots of black sands aswell

[@onedayoffprospecting]

Not really that much for basically a 5’er of material. Some claims have a full bottom of a Garrett Super Sluice gold pan 1” thick. But really, I’m surprised that there is anything at all.

[@mandybrown7758]

Thats crazy awesome

[@zamazingo81]

Süper bir çalışma olmuş

[@andylouis756]

Where can I get that exact setup? I live on a beach and I've been looking for the best rig for sand. Thanks in advance!!

[@onedayoffprospecting]

This unit is called the gold buddy. I bought it used and just made the recirculation system for it.
