Greetings all, I wanted to share my custom headphone build for the Garrett Z-Lynk system. I have seen similar designs on here for systems such as the Deus, but nothing for AT Pro's or other machines. The headphones consist of Howard Leight Earmuffs which I have wired headphone speakers into...

Clear Creek that runs outside of Denver was my first panning experience a couple summers ago and netted about 1/4 gram of dust and small flakes just using my pan over a couple months. I was hooked! So I started learning more about other processes and tools and came across the sluice box. To me...

As part of my equipment list I knew I would need a concentrator to reduce the volume of crushed rock I would get. After studying many sluice setups one seemed to have good principles i.e.. compact, and a waterfall or drop type underflow as apposed to an inline. The flow would naturally follow...

Hi everyone. I'm just getting into this new hobby. We have to old mines up at our hunt camp with loads of rock on the ground around them and there is still fine gold in them. I guess they couldn't process it. I've studied what would be required and know that I can make most of it: a DIY jaw...

I don't have a fancy camera or a GoPro or anything like that, so I came up with my own solution to take footage with while out hunting. Everyone now a days owns a cell phone, most of which are capable of taking pretty could video. The problem is trying to take video of myself metal detecting all...

So I got a wild hair and weled up some new riffles. I based everything off the clarkston research. I used 3/4"x3/4" angle iron and 1 1/2" flat bar. at 3/4" tall they should have been spaced 1 1/2" apart from down stream edge to up stream edge with a 15 degree pitch to them. I am running it with...

Since I did my Bazooka Gold Trap post I noticed that some people were unfamiliar with the concept of a fluid bed. Well a fluid bed is very useful to anyone with a large amount of concentrates. It will quickly turn your buckets of concentrates into a cup of super concentrates. How a fluid bed...

So I have about $150 for Christmas and would like to make/buy my own sorter. I would like to have any guides or tips on the right discriminator and set ups. I really excited to start working on this, but just need to know where to start. I would like it to be able to sort out copper cents and...

So .. been a while but i finally went and built the crucible for a smelting.. and GOT IT HOT! lmao It got so hot that it melted the base end cap off the 1/2" thick 4" in diameter 18" long cold rolled steel pipe crucible (with 2.5 lbs of concentrate in it,, yup gold loss 8(...) but ohh well It...

I have been wanting to do a home-made sluice project using only rubber matting for easy clean-outs. Trying to do this on a budget I was hoping to find or figure out some sort of box. Finally a piece of recycle I found worked just about right. Here is What I'm starting with: Using some Gorilla...
