gold recovery

I picked this up today for $3 at the scrapyard. I didn't even want to pay over $1 but i'm a sucker for gold i guess. From what ive researched, it is a "MOS RAM memory for Unisys UTS-20 terminal from 1976-7 with a capacity of 64Kwords with parity divided into 4 banks of 16Kwords." I intend to put...

Hello! I have a jar of gold plated items from electronic parts (no circuit boards), and jewelry, and I have another jar of 10k, 14k, and perhaps finer jewelry. I want to know if its safe to mix the two to melt into 'shot' for refining, or if I should keep seperate.. I am planning on refining...

Hi guys, I just got back from my second prospecting trip of the year, trying new creeks in the area I visit each time. This time I visited a very narrow creek with a lot of exposed bedrock, however, the creek was very narrow which made getting my sluice set up rather difficult. In the end, I...

Hi guys, I've made a lot of my own prospecting and recovery tools (as you might have seen with the videos I've put up recently) and I thought I'd share another one of the Miller water table I made using a hobby mat and bits I found lying around the place, The only thing I had to buy for this...

Hi, here's a quick video showing a 4" manual gold dredge my friend made following the same principal of the instructional video I uploaded showing how to make the 4" manual gold dredge. As you can see, he's filling a classifier full of material in just 3 draws on the 4" which would take 6-10...

Here's a quick video showing how I've made my standard 2 1/2" manual gold dredge, also known as a Henderson pump. In the video you can also see a larger 4" pump which I cover in a separate video. These are great pieces of equipment and anyone new to prospecting should consider making one of...

Here's a video of running some material through a fiberglass "Supersluice" sluice made by a chap who runs one of the UK gold prospecting forums. Skip to about 1/2 way through to see the material in the sluice and let me know what you think. https://youtu.be/AgS_eHYXqWQ

Hi, here's a video of how I've set my blue bowl up without any leg levelers and I've also got a Le Trap square pan beneath to catch anything trying to escape the bowl, have a view and let me know what you think guys. :tongue3: https://youtu.be/Gx_b3I56NTA

Hi, here's a quick video of how I've made a miller Hobbico water table for recovering fine gold for under £15 ($20). Hope you like it and feel free to comment here or on the video if you have any suggestions or general comments, cheers... https://youtu.be/_ehmbUWtut8 :icon_thumleft: And...

Hi, I just signed up and thought I'd share a video of a project manual trommel my friend has been working on as he brought it round to show me at the weekend and I thought he'd done a pretty good job, it just needs securing up a bit more, however I'm more tempted to go down a stackable...

Most people know me as the guy who invented the Gold Well sluice. This sluice recovers very fine gold very well. The big problem as one of my customers indicated, was how to get the fine gold out once you recover it in the sluice. My preferred method is just add up the concentrates with the...
