How to make a gold trap/ DIY Gold Trap

[@insolentstickleback3266]

My grand dad used to make his own bate pumps using PVS tubing, all thread, and a tennis ball. They worked great. I love this kind of DIY stuff Thank You for showing it Sean!

[@cavelvlan25]

Thank you! Iv been trying to think of something I have on hand for the plunger seal. Your a blessing.

[@timareskog2418]

At first I didn't quite understand why you didn't glue the main body, but then I learnt real fast when you showed how to clean out the whole attachment, much easier than undoing the hose clamp like I thought was the way it was to be done. This is a really simple, cheap & easy to build and usable tool. Thank you for sharing this 👍 I've found Liquid Nails softens in water, especially if it's warm, so I'd use plumbers silicon to secure the small diameter suction pipe into the cap.

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

I usually just use fibreglass resin but I didn’t have any on hand so I improvised with liquid nails, it’s not to seal the hole and pipe, it’s main purpose is to hold the pipe away from the second trap so it doesn’t get blocked up.

[@timareskog2418]

Busted knuckles Prospecting Silicon should do the same as fibreglass, just not so rigid but I understand what your getting at. Good basic idea but I would have mucked it up if you didn't explain it so well.

[@yehyeh6962]

Another home run thank you. I’m definitely going to build one.

[@709badwolf]

i’m not sure why this was on my ‘notifications’,, but i’m glad i watched it! this really gives me some ideas on how to find out what’s at the bottom of a few waterfall pools. thanks!

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

No problem mate🤠 hope you get all that gold, don’t forget to share my videos 👍

[@wileddan]

Great stuff, dug out the ole yabby pump and bought the materials from Bunnings today. Great channel.

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

😂😂 this is just my idea, but if you modify it to suit your need

[@creedflynn7926]

Cool setup 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Awesome from AK 9Finger Mining

Nice tutorial. Thanks

[@adventuretimeprospecting]

Gotta add this to my build list! Thank you for sharing!

[@dynomania]

Cool good design 👍

[@joeljeffery8704]

Thanks Sean, what a great idea. I can think of several different ways to use it. Have a great day.

[@thegov58]

Looks like I’m off to Bunnings. 👍

[@frederickbierweiler8020]

love dyi useful info

[@GrooberNedJardine]

They are definitely a great idea Sean ,thanks for showing that ,i am thinking seriously of making one ,i have my own device added to the yabbie pump, but i think those ones are a much better idea ,cheers ,ohh and i might make mine pretty just by spray painting it ,lol ,thanks mate for sharing .

[@shootthemoon6072]

I didn't notice the flies until you said something; now I can't unsee them. 🤣 Great video, very inventive. Cheers from Cartersville Georgia U.S.👍👍✌

[@markopittman2833]

i had one like that with a mason jar cap on it so i could put a big plastic mayonase jar on there, fills up rather quickly. have to keep emptying, so i put a clear hose on there with some adapters and into a five gallon jug, gonna try it out at the creek today, i saw a kit you could buy, so i made one.

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

Home built is always better then new

[@crowleysprospectingadventu2527]

thats a talent i would love to have mate. thanks for the video

[@2Qwk2C]

You Beaut!!!! I was thinking of a way to do just that. It was hurting tho, (my brain..... what's left of it). Now I can toss it together no worries, thanks to you. Cheers mate :)

[@cjsoutdoors4412]

Nice project Sean. I'm gonna have to make me one, I sure could use it for.my gold back packing adventures...Thanks & cheers!🤠⚒⛏🍻

[@IAGoldProspectors]

Well I was looking for your other video that just shows you making the suction tube I like your design and I came across this I guess I'm gonna be making one of these also. I have to run to work but I just wanted to tell you I have a subscribed I thought I was already subscribed have a great day thanks for your videos keep them up.

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

Thanks mate

[@ferdburphel2076]

Nice improvement 👍 way better than the wide open hole at the end of the original pump🍻

[@rodneyhaley1734]

Very cool idea I was going to add to the end of my Nipper Pump but now I’ll do that great idea Mate

[@bradlo308]

Thanks for sharing mate love your work. Can i ask why aren't you using this more often in you more recent videos when you use your yabby pump? I thought it was a great idea when i saw it so i built one very similar to yours but without the front snuffer style vacuum nozzle & trap. the trap in the under side works well on mine without the snuffer style front trap & expels very little to no gold/debris when evacuating the water in the pump. I'm only a beginner at prospecting but enjoy making stuff out of scrap. I was nutting out your design & i'm thinking your suction draw length needs to be 2-3 times longer than your snuffer style vacuum nozzle for the debris to clear the vacuum nozzle & gold/debris trap opening. OR you could take the nozzle tip off the bottom & away from the debris before you come to full draw allowing debris to be flushed clear of the nozzle & above the debris trap. PS keep up the great videos mate.

[@christopherphipps7951]

nice.thanks for sharing your info.cheers

[@digs898]

Awesome video mate 👍

[@AppalachianProspect]

That is a very nice DIY double gold trap, thanks for sharing!

[@Gippslandgolddigga]

You wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve gone to build one then got down the creek and thought I need that pump attachment🤦‍♂️ I’ll get there one day 😆👍🏻

[@bobedwards8896]

cool man! now i need to find a yabby pump in the states

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

It’s just a bait pump, you can get one from any fishing store

[@bobedwards8896]

@@BustedknucklesProspecting nice! I want the steel one. Hahaha, Gotta find some good to pay for it.

[@HLsab]

Thanks , great tool .

[@krixig]

For the nozzle, instead of an endcap, I reckon maybe a 2" to 1" reducer would make a sturdier connection. Just need to ream the inside lip a hair to slide the 1" needle tip past that adapter into the trap. Also, going to try rigging a mason jar as the bottom trap so you can see whats going on and when youre full up, then just thread off and dump. We'll see how it goes when I build it. Thanks!

[@johnmurphy8593]

Hey bud, this is an awesome job just about to build a gold trap like yours only I am goind to set it up like your crevice pump. . . ..A few mods if that okay but will keep you in the loop

[@WeThePeopleSurvival69]

I like it!!!

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

Great job my friend. That is awesome 🤙

[@craigparry5648]

Good job you should go into production, sounds like your cockatiel wanted some of that action 🎬

Would really like to see the handle assembly and pump mechanism.

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

Check out my other videos, you find a video showing just that

[@tdiron5277]

Sean you are a tinkerer.....You said you would build it and ya did ..... mine is still in pieces??? Congrats!!!!

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

I sure am mate, why purchase something when you can make a better one 😂

[@tdiron5277]

It turned out great ! I still think if you change your end cap to an 1 1/4 hose fitting and hose to bucket or straight to the gold pan ????

[@tdiron5277]

Anywhooo works in process awesome video

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

Iv just got to add a 1 way valve to it so I can add a hose and bucket.

[@tdiron5277]

Awesome!!! Now your pumping gold

[@alexmalmstrom7299]

Great idea mate!✨👍🏻

[@cavelvlan25]

You can easily put a classifier on this and of time later. Mesh on the nozzle if your confident there werent any nice chunks around. You can add a screen in your second compartment only permitting fine material.

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

Great idea buddy 🤠

[@marko1314]

Genius 😎

[@Stealthbobber06]

Great build. What did you use for the foam part and handle? Does plunger pull all the way up in Steele pipe?

Dude!! Your bird scared the crap out of me LOL

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

😂😂🤠

[@bigcountryvet5984]

I like this I just don't know what a yabbie pump is. I am in Texas and I can not ever remember hearing of this.

[@philjohnston7920]

hey an improvment you could is on the bottom tube. a flange on the in side of trap and on out side of trap then you won't need liquid nails.

[@prospectorpete]

great video mate

[@joemoore7623]

👍👍👍

[@sam-545]

COOL

[@johnruckman2320]

Ok, but how did you make the plunger? It was never shown.

[@thesurfingprospector6345]

Cool thanks for that A must have ay Cheers Crouch

[@kaningraja2145]

Bro you didn't show full part. What about the back side of the metal pipe. How did you fixed it. It's not clearly disclosed. Am I correct?

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

keep it up boy

[@foolsgold1118]

Did i miss something? What about the stainless steel pipe. Where does it come into play far as adding it to the pump?

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

The stainless pipe is actually a yabbie/ bait pump from any fishing store.

[@legneil]

For a better seal you need to sand the edges.

[@DetectaBull]

Nice

[@rumyluvgrl]

what about the actual pump end? All I see is you attaching a silver tube. Did you make the pump to go down inside that?

[@ph3l1xx]

Well whats at the top end where the metal is at?? How can I make the top part?

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

Go to a fishing shop and ask for a bait pump and they will give you exactly what your needing

[@larrycockerham2525]

you did not show how the top was made, what sucks up the water?

[@GoldNSlots]

Agreed. Nor what the slits were made for, cause never used them

[@spinny2010]

I think the metal tube is basically the same mechanism as a bicycle pump. Good design. Nice adaptation with the gold catchers. Its just like a birds crop.

[@erbalist6708]

its a hand pump. Im guessing where hes from they call it a yabi pump. That tube has a plunger in it that sucks water in

[@sierraridgereaper]

@@GoldNSlots the slits/slots were for the lower section of pvc to be able to be clamped to the pump with the hose clamp..

[@srip63]

Cool

[@glennnilson498]

Hi what size is the pvc tube please . Regards. Glenn.

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

50mm

[@jeffreylane5825]

I didn't see what you were using to do the sucking up of the material

[@brianboks878]

What sucks up the water sir? By the way thank you for the idea😇

[@erbalist6708]

A hand pump. That metal tube he fitted to the pvc has a plunger in it to suck up water

[@brianboks878]

@@erbalist6708 Thank youuuu😁

[@plasticdadaii8225]

What was providing the suction?

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

A $60 fisherman’s bait pump, here in Australia we call them yabbie pumps, you can pick one up from any fishing shop

[@rastamanralph6670]

It looks like David has been using it to extract his nuggets😂👍✌

[@paulconnell2385]

Success or failure bro?? haven't seen ya using it ....? I feel like you'd be better off just classifying it? I try prospecting (scratch old creek walls/cracks etc), Heathcote (McIvor Creek), mainly, as i only get small flakes (if any)......any suggestions? Love ya vids man........

Saludos , el único detalle es que ya no pasaste de como hacer el embolo de succión

[@paulcook7888]

I didn’t get to see the plunger piece that goes into the metal pipe

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

Yes just a standard yabbie pump/ bait pump, you get them from any fishing store

[@raydowdy6914]

What about the piece you pull on to suck the material out

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

The hand pump you are referring to is called a bait pump and it’s used by fishermen to suck live baits from the sandy coastline. You can find them at any fishing shop like BCF.

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

You can purchase the same thing from eBay.. it’s call a crevice suck/ hand dredge on eBay

[@Freespiritangel61]

This was ok, but for the women that watch this you did not say the size of the pipe being used and how long you cut each piece of pipe. You did not show the top part or how you assembled the top part. So this was great for guy's who already know this stuff but not for women who are trying to learn.

[@-meganeura]

Being a woman or man got nothing to do with it! You just need a pipe that fits well in your pump. The top part is the hand pump/dredge, this video is how to make the gold catcher not the pump.

[@febredetectorismohobbygo8143]

I did one similar to that, inspiration from this that you did, thank you. check it on the channel 👍
