Equipment interest

[Marmentman]

Am very interested in equipment that works for you. Please include pictures and type of gold in your area. And brief history of gold mining in your area. Ex. I live near san Juan's in nm, I use jobe sluice and high banker, also experimenting with own equipment. The mining in my area was mostly hard rock silver and gold. Some copper lead zinc and tellurides.

Thinking about a new sluice. Looking at the vortex well sluice, and bazooka, one is ridiculous expensive, the other not so bad.

IMHO and from the results I've seen posted here with all the positive reviews, I would go with the bazooka...but, that's what I would do based on what I have to work with. Have you found any color yet? Dry or wet?

Build your own such as I did with Gold Hog Mats. The mats takes lots of water but trap all the gold if setup correctly.

Don't know why it's upside down sorry

Have no experience w/ the vortex...but I can tell you the BAzooka is ridiculously effective.....

That's a ton in my eyes Lewis. Still more what I have gotten my whole time I have been mining. Not long though. Lucky haul you got there.

Keep at it, and keep testing new spots and you'll get there.

All the best,

My favorite sluice (of 5) is my Bazooka 30" Prospector, no classifying and it takes a shovel full of material at a time so it's the fastest thing out there (at a portable weight and reasonable price). I've got tons of hours on it and it's still going strong too, solid construction Recent takes of gold from a local creek...about 1/2 gram of fly poop and a few mini flakes.

And it's a LOT more than the .25 grams I'm sitting on I had a cousin recently ask me why we keep the gold in water? I told her it makes it look bigger. Stunned look then big laughs
