Wow, Chris. That was an awesome video. And some nice big pieces of gold. And very nice to see the two specimens. And I bet they is probably more in that same creek if you are planning to go back at a later time.

I remember when I was getting half a gram a day panning about 2 years ago.. quite easy if you spend the time on the creek and know what she’s telling ya.. these days I could prob get double that panning.. but just like most things, the time spent researching, repetition, determination and willingness to learn, follow these things to success in whatever you choose.. 😎🤙🏻

[@michealklonowski5267]

very nice gold thank you for sharing ❤️

[@magicone9327]

Could you make a passive sluice pump? Larger diameter pipe set with input funnel to increase primary pipe flow/volume. Near the end of the larger pipe connect a plumbing fitting of main pipe diameter with a side input of 2" that comes in at 45° from the water input direction. This has a 2" semi ridged pipe connected that will become the suction pipe for picking up small particles that you miss with a shovel. The output end of the pipe coming from the plumbing connector has a length of the mainpipe connected to discharge into the sluice box.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Sure. But why

In that situation try running your tailing s. Over a corrugation fibreglass roofing sheet bend up sides a bit and run couple of airport metal detector E bay cheap. 😄 Across The flow it help find anything small in pebble that wash and over sluice I run crusher with same system on large scale detector stop belt with find then you hunt basically you are checking everything you move to tailing

[@LordCivick]

some nice lookin rock chucking action there sir

[@66hobgoblin81]

I would suggest that given the speed & volume of water you were running through the sluice that you list at least as much fine gold as you recovered. I think I would be using the yabbie pump directly down from the end of your sluice for 3-4 metres & then panning it. What do you reckon Chris?

[@VoGusProspecting]

Not a chance mate. I had bearly 1cm of water running on that mat and have 6 years of previous testing with dream mat. What you see in a video is a small portion of what we do during the session. Point being, we test tailings as we go to make sure of stuff like that.

[@curley6531]

great video thanks

[@andrewk7981]

Is there a chance that the cells collect enough overburdened heavies like those iron chunks and shot… could that cause gold to roll over the top and slid through? Would it be worth the extra effort to clean the trey between buckets

[@VoGusProspecting]

Unlikely. The heavies actually help the gold stay in the sluice.

[@magicone9327]

When looking for various gems can u use a black light,

Another great video guys. Even though Gad Zee didn’t take your phone for a swim, you about soaked it good when you tossed that big rock. Safety. Safety. Safety. Hey, I noticed there wasn’t any background/transition music, did you run out of time during editing? Gad Zee, you got some really good framing on this one. I always enjoy the schtick too. 😝

[@VoGusProspecting]

The lack of music is because people keep claiming the video as theirs through open source music. I legally have the right to the song. But you can claim it though a 3rd party. Really pain in the ass to have to fight it every time. So no music.
