Micro Scrapping & Sluicing Some Dirty Copper Pt.1

In todays video I pick up some HiD lights and while battling the rain I start cleaning the shop by micro scrapping for some copper then I break out the old water sluice to clean some copper chops and dust from some copper pipes. Stay tuned for part 2.

If you lined your slice with an agressive God Hog matting. The copper would would drop out behind the ripples and the insulation would keep going for a higher percentage of recovery. Fun stuff bro.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@benjaminphelps9562]

For the #2 copper if you had a smelter you can turn it into ingots of copper

[@ProjectShopFl]

I do have one.

[@Д.Неуловимый]

Can't wait to see a silver contacts video.

[@ProjectShopFl]

I have a bunch now. lol

[@matthewelliott2213]

I take a shot every time you say, "To the max". It's totally on my Project Shop bingo card 100%.

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂

[@matthewelliott2213]

@ProjectShopFl still doing bingo!

[@copperkingrecycling634]

That copper sluice is awesome for floor scrap clean up.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes! 👊

[@Stalkerrob20]

Now that you want to granulate copper, you could get a little devil forge and make some ingots 😉

[@ProjectShopFl]

I'm looking in to something like that.

[@tj8244]

For the copper sluce, you need riffles down the runs and it would separate off any light material without you having to putty knife run it up the run all the time. Would not take long to weld up a set from scrap angle iron to just drop in.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion but the 2.0 version that won't be needed.

[@tj8244]

@@ProjectShopFl sweet cant wait to see it run

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

@@ProjectShopFlwhat do you have in place of riffles? I’ve seen Jason from mbmmc put a layer of plastic film over top his shaker deck to push everything under the water. But riffles would be better I believe!

[@boelensds]

or lower water volumes so copper does not make it to the end.

[@randydobson1863]

hello Project Shop FL & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool Thanks Project Shop FL Friends Randy

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks Randy!

I still remember the old sluice from one of your first videos, always wondered why you stopped using it, it looked so easy to recover copper with it, very unique, have never seen anything like it since.

[@ProjectShopFl]

I broke the granulator.

[@theholidayboy543]

I live to micro scrap, I wish I had all of that

[@ProjectShopFl]

I've got PILES of it. lol Videos coming soon.

[@theholidayboy543]

[@silverlicious2086]

Sluice action was producing a Copper river. Gotta love that. Looking forward to the next rendition of the sluice.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks!

[@brian56]

The only thing aluminum windings were good for was in the Plymouth road runner horn. They gave it that beep-beep sound.

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂😂

[@MsMaxno]

you need to make thresholds in the gutter where the water flows, weld the plates by about 5 millimeters so that the copper lingers in them👍👍👍

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@nilsandersson5544]

The spree continues awesome to see you upload

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks!

[@deadwood3764]

We use a dremmel with a little carbon cut off disk to cut off silver contacts.Very quick also a cordless grinder with very thin cut off wheels work awesome for cutting the alum crimps that found on your nuggets.You really need to make a hammer mill.I also have a reverse Helix trommel with a conveyor belt feed that has 2 seperate sluices.1/8 under and expanded over miners moss.As well as a Vortex sluice that is a seperate thing for our flour golds.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for sharing and a hammer mill is on the list. lol

[@SollersScrappingandDiving]

Wow I have missed this! Such a brilliant long video full of goodies. Loved the micro scrapping! That sluice is just divine, it was like 'Copper rush' of the scrap shop lol

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, I missed it as well. lol

[@michaelphillipsBoogie1]

You need to have Breakout Shield on that Grinder. Wheel break can take out eye or kill

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@Reggiekranz]

We need some hammer mill content!

[@boelensds]

some mbmmllc action.

[@ProjectShopFl]

One day hopefully.

[@jonesmetsasta226]

When will we see sluice 2.0? You are awesome inventor.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, I have a few things do finish first

[@Д.Неуловимый]

Copper sluice need a huge amount of free water.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes!

[@demolitionsexpert]

I knew there was not anyway you were originally from Fla! Glad to find out!

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂😂

[@johndaley9188]

What you're creating is what's seen on the gold shows that use a sluice box. Do a search for "sluice box for copper. All kinds of stuff for sale and videos. You save round plastic cones from old lights. Part of the plan?

[@ProjectShopFl]

I have been saving up some stuff to make the cooler sluice ever.

[@markmumby6682]

the sluice noise makes me want to have a pxss

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂😂

[@robertlivingstone3947]

Very interesting video great job

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thank you very much!

Thanks!

love it

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks! 👍👊

[@Mike1957belair]

Shiney stream of copper

[@ProjectShopFl]

Can't wait to start building the new sluice

[@tommytom5650]

If you classify your material before you run it you won’t have to pick out big chunks of trash and you will recover more of the 1-3% that runs off.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the info.

[@iainohalloran42]

Why don’t you use a big blue plastic container for a sump then drop a pond pump in that way you have the water pressure and your not stuck to where it has to go (water tap governs where it can go) you just recycle the water 👍🏻

[@ProjectShopFl]

I have a big stainless tub I will be using. Stay tuned. lol

[@Kreacher1974]

The stuff that was run through the sluce, could it just be melted into ingots?

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes in the future I will be doing just that.

[@tysonwalsh8193]

You probably don’t have a freezer there but if you stick those pieces of copper that you’re trying to open up and a freezer and let them freeze overnight and hit them with all the insulation will break right off

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@Mike1957belair]

Wahoo

[@ProjectShopFl]

👍👍👍

[@Mike1957belair]

Shiney streams of copper

[@williamdawson3353]

Get a small hammer mill and smash that little stuff up then easier to micro scrap.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@proking5044]

What’s up bro hope all is well

[@ProjectShopFl]

Getting back to the grind! 👊

[@morami1122]

werent you saving all that micro scrapping for a hammermill?

[@ProjectShopFl]

Trying to but it's gets in the way.

[@AdamW-tx]

I love this video! This is how i found my way to Project Shop FL in the first place. Searched for Copper Sluice. COOL !

[@ProjectShopFl]

That's awesome thanks.

[@shannonjanes2434]

Sluce box Worrier

Need a hammer mill for that small copper stuff

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes, It's on the list. lol

[@scottuntz4534]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but photo enforcement cameras hold 5lb of copper

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂😂

[@ItsVideos]

When you say "metal" you mean steel. Copper is also metal.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes thanks for the clarification

[@pauljackson5482]

I would try to focus on the bigger picture, rather than the hourly rate, if it wasn't worth doing it you and I would have thrown all that crap in the shred pile.

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂😂

[@cditzler6313]

about 5000 of those contact ends that are a bitch to cut will get you about an ounce of silver value $20-$30 thats for the relay micro scrappin stuff now yer bigger breakers and the big stuff you get .99 cent bottle of white vinegar will get the tarnish off the copper make it perty again plus you sluicing way way back when is how I came to know your channel good stuff

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the info.

[@Jack_of_1_Trade]

Hey I might have a car for scrapping if you want. I have to empty my father in laws house in north lauderdale. Let me know if your interested

[@ProjectShopFl]

Sorry for the late response but I don't scrap cars.
