Is It Easy To Get Water From The Ocean To Run A Nome Beach Box?

[@jamiegwhite30]

You should have your own show where you go around and show off all the cool places and all your cool friends

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

That would be a blast!

She was fun to work with!

[@Freespiritangel61]

@@AmericanGoldProspectors I am sure Jane has away of keeping things interesting!

[@SuperGmang]

I'm thinking if you put a 2 inch rock under the beach side of your iron pipe and stack a couple ft tall platform of flat rocks to set your pump on you do ok. Also you could dig a small trench to put the hose down in where the traffic crosses to save your blue hose. Love your videos!

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks for the tips!

[@andrewscotti1136]

The dolly thing is a roller bunk from a boat trailer, if you fit pvc over the rollers to increase its footprint it will roll across the sand alot better.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Good idea!

[@edwingolddelirium]

I use small floaters for swimmers and a anchor to stay in place and get water all the time.

[@MichielVanKets]

when you think that you have a good idea that seems obvious, yet nobody else is doing it ... maybe there's a good reason why nobody else is doing it ... I've been wondering why nobody else is doing it, and although I figured the water intake must be the main problem, now that you tested it and showed it; there's more than 1 problem ... multiple lesson learned thanks, mate

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

I'm sure there are other ways to do it, but getting equipment is hard here

[@MichielVanKets]

@@AmericanGoldProspectors a bucket with holes in it, which you bury a bit in the sand ... just wildly guessing here

[@DavidNelsonM]

Still amazing to get that water that far up the beach. Your own invention on the spot. ❤ Wow

[@edwingolddelirium]

For the beach you can also dig a pond in front of your sluicebox and cover it with pond foil to recycle the water with a good filter box in front of the sluicebox.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

For sure! Thanks for watching!

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks you too!

[@WheezinGeezerTV]

Nothin' but the good stuff brother! Running water from the ocean would really speed things up on the beach. But that motor would have to be farther up the beach between some of the lay flat hoses. And then there's the traffic problem. Don't like the idea of people driving over it, especially when replacing it might be a problem. But working it as a "bad weather" day, yeah, just do it the way you were. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Watched season 13 last night, fell asleep on 14, so I'll probably watch most of it tonight.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks for the tips!

[@jamesmudd2227]

[@s.d.iprospecting4359]

If u had your dredge up there u could do like ole ray rusaw does in juneu alaska just float your dredge out and anchor it then tun lay flat to the box, but that system worked great for you.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Great idea!

[@carlgruver695]

If your open to suggestions i would find a old gunny sack or cheesecloth use it as a filter on the end of the pipe dig a small trench to lay your lay flat end and cover it back up with sand so Vehicles won't hurt it find a longer hose maybe a 50 ft of fire hose one and a half inch they're cheap fire department my give you some and instead of that trolley use a large rock to keep it off the bottom and use anything to keep your pump higher

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks for the tips! I just didn't have much time that day so I did it all in a rush.

[@lincolnstovall9471]

Trench for flat line. Maybe fire hose, Suck section hose? Fresh water seems best.

[@wBlrLive]

They sell this “easy Unloader” thing at Harbor Freight for like $50. I think you should order and give it a try. It mounts to the tailgate and unrolls a plastic tarp ish material along the bottom of your bed. You then throw all your dirt or materiel on top of it. Once you are ready to dump you roll the tarp back up and it pulls all of the material out of your bed. It is sort of like a little dump truck attachment, we use it for my landscaping company and it’s great.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Great info. Thanks!

[@richardservatius5405]

put the pipe end in a bucket with some screen door spread over the bucket to filter out junk.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Good idea!

[@lennardperry5184]

its a roller bunk for a boat trailer. good scrounging

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Oh. Thanks!

[@jonryan5339]

Try propping up the one end of your pipe closer to the beach so the other end will remain under the water?

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

I should have tried that. Thanks!

[@offpherj7884]

Nice looking pan! Sea weed who woulda thunk it? lol Thanks for posting...

[@thems_the_brakes]

Feels worth a try to carry some blocks/a ramp which people could drive over with the hose running beneath it. Wouldn't take up much space in your car.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

no one would use the ramp. They drive all over the 100 yard wide beach.

[@jmy7622]

put a rock at the back end of the iron pipe and that will prevent air from getting in the front.

[@MichielVanKets]

maybe next time try some type of a recycling system; a couple of big water tanks ... and maybe a smaller pump or so, you'\d be working slower, but being able to work on the spot, be it slower might be worth it

[@greenandgold2185]

As in bring the water to the pay. And run 2 box's. The trick is to imitate a commercial operation on a smaller scale with adapting to the clean up process as the same as a large mine would actual pay. As in the Sea made the concentrates and we mine that. The Big problem is we can only be human rock trucks on the beach if we work next to the pay. A constantly running sluice box is the key to success. Recirculating water is the most effective way to mine a beach. Flour gold is a numbers game. Played right it can pay off.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

I don't have that kind of equipment. I just used what I had.

Didn’t you just have a monster storm or was this recorded earlier?

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

This was earlier.

[@TwoFingeredMamma]

Why not try a floating pontoon attached to a peice of rope with an anchor. Some plastic plumbing with a 90 degree bend for the intake. All you would need are a pair of thigh/waist high waders to stop you getting your feet wet when you wade out to place it and then you could ditch the cumbersome steel pipe. Another method would be a weighted object that you place out in the surf with flexible pipe attached to it with the end of the pipe secured above the sand attached to the weight. It's not rocket science is it and its much more productive than having to fill your pickup with pay dirt then having to offload it at your sleuce location. Cheers for the entertaining videos and i hope Ive given you some ideas.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Nome is an isolated town. Parts and pieces are hard to come by. I can only use what I can find. Unless you want to spend $$$$$ to ship up a shipping container full of equipment.

So is it state land or Blm land you get you dirt from, or is it one of the few that owns claims or From Native corporation's land which owns the majority stake holder of pretty of much all the beach around Nome.

Hey pal, why not quickly dig a 12 feet trench and bury the pipe under the roadway. Then have a 30 feet pipe on beach into ocean with a floating/filter end with a ledger attached to keep it in general position. You can then keep the pump motor next to your wash rig. Just a thought. Good luck amigo.

Deffinatly a good idea in principle, as others have said a stand for the motor and possibly another length of flex hose between the pump and spike? As to you seaweed issues a simple mesh cup over the end of the spike would solve that and wouldn't need be fine mesh either ¼" weldmesh or ⅛" would hold a lot of it out without it clogging too bad. If went down to 20mesh it would constantly clog with suspended sand and seaweed partials
