sluice

The image is of the gold I got from the South Forks of Salmon River, near the N. California town of Sawyers Bar. The exact spot is the New 49ers claim San-6 which is on the Salmon at the Whites Gulch tributary. I had just got my Bazooka Gold Trap prospector extended sluice box and was eager to...

Hello all, long time reader first time poster. The video is of my first recirculating sluice box build. Your constructive criticism is very welcome. This is a 30" box with an 1100 GPH 12v pump. I need 1" of incline per 12" of box, hence the bungee cords that can be slid forward/back or tied in...

I really liked my first rocker box that I built out of material that I had laying around. It worked really well and I have a lot of fun using it when the regs say you can't use any motorized equipment. So, I thought I'd build a brand spanking new one. Here it is! I'll probably do more tweeking...

I'm in the Spartanburg/Greenville area of South Carolina. Anyone know any good ideas on where to prospect? I'm a newbie and have found about 10 flakes and 4 pieces that are alot bigger than flakes but smaller than pickers. I just started about a month ago. I've ran a total of about 4 five gallon...

So, I finished my Rocker Box. I had a lot of fun doing it...passing the winter hours away. I made a few mods since the video was shot. Added an improved sprayer bar over the classifier which gave me a whole lot better coverage. And, I placed an upper tray in the header box under the...

I love spending time out on the river. Whether it be fishing, swimming or gold prospecting... a day on the water is always a good one! To make my day even better my pops, 9 year old son, 8 year old daughter, and 2cmorau went out to his claim on the Yuba. I set the Bazooka up for the kids to...

Obviously by the title I'm a newbie however I've been reading each and every review possible about the different types of sluices from the A52 to Angus Mackirk and the newer trend bazooka which I think is a neat idea however I haven't heard of too many people using them.... I already know I...

I am in the process of building the "Popandson Fine Gold Sluice". I have most of the sluice building material, but the difficult part that I couldn't get my hands on is the (3/16”) expanded size of the last part in the sluice. This expanded piece is put at the bottom of the sluice , and...

I went to the East Fork river today, this little "picker" was on my rubber mat riffles. I dumped some dirt on it and it didn't budge, so I grabbed it. There were some flakes on the mat every bucket I sluiced, so I am a little excited to pan my concentrates tomorrow. If I find anything good, I...

Before my vacation to Costa Rica 2 weeks ago, I heard that there were a few places people had found gold in a few rivers/streams. So wanting to find out for myself I packed my folding sluice box and gold pan. Well needless to say, after lots of talking to locals and scoping out a few locations...

Got out yesterday for an hour or so before sunset. I had sample panned this site in the fall and have been wanting to go back with a sluice. Got good gold and will post that to this thread once I get a picture of the total. Only lasted about 1.5 hours before my toes got numb! That snow melt sure...

Took the entire family (Mom, dad, wife and two kids) to meet up with GravelWasher down on the American River. What a great day! Mom and wife sat in chairs and emptied buckets into the Bazooka sluice. Dad was a digging machine and I ran bucket back and forth. managed to dig a large hole down...

Here is most of the gold I found on my weekend trips. I still have a bucket of concentrates to go through... maybe get the total up to three grams. Maybe not as much gold as I would like, but I had a great time finding it! Most trips my 7 and 9 year old went with me. One trip had the other...

Just a quick question... When mining in a river, should I dig deeper in the river to get gold or should I stay on top of the surface and move around more?

I am scouting the white river near Indianapolis and I have a sluice box that can pick up some good gold but I am wondering if I will even find gold at all?

Heya everyone; So today I got to play with a Keene A52 sluice box. I only ran 1 bucket of material and some of it was overburden from sniping. It seems like I caught all of the gold that I put through as I didnt see anything more after the half way mark on the sluice. I wanted to ask, how...

im not sure which metal detector will find me the small(and big) gold nuggets. i checked out the garrett at pro, the fisher gold bug, and the garrett scorpion gold stinger. tell me which you think is best for less than 600. thanks.

i am close to buying the angus mckirk rocky mountain gold trap sluice box, and would like some reviews over the angus mckirk gold trap sluices, any advice???thanks to all who answer. :)

:tongue3: Sunday sluice trip made it out to a small creek while everyone else was at the mining summit in Placerville. Worked a couple buckets in one spot and wasent impressed with the results, so I moved down stream a bit to a spot with more bedrock. Did some testing and found a better patch...
