This is a Miller table and you can make one yourself for not a great deal of money. They work very well for separating out gold from black sand, etc. See AzViper's post on how to make one with Easy Liner shelf liner. It will have all the details.

yep I also have some of these and gave all of them (EXCEPT 1) away to some friends. they work fine for me!

I've found a couple serving trays that might work, but what I need is a crashbox idea to smooth the water coming out of the pump before hitting the table.

You're right George. They are always using light sands during their domo's and normally are using gold that's already caught instead of raw material. With the material I see in their domo I could clean up in a pan quicker.

Smooth the water with washing scour pads (without any other surface on them). You can buy 3M blue one in the dollars stores for, well, a dollar. They are about a 1/2 " thick, and have the water flow through them on the way to the gold on your Miller Table.

I don't have one but what would be wrong with incorporating a reservoir (basin extending below table level) and the static surface being level to the head of the table and let it fill and overflow water down the table? The basin should probably be capable of containing several times the flow amount. The table needs to be level side to side anyway when it's in operation and water is self leveling so the overflow should be even and smooth all the way across. I would fill the reservoir deep below the surface to avoid any bubbling and bluges. Am I wrong?

So here is a new vid I watched. The funny thing is they are useing a fish tank. I wish the river was that easy.

I've always wondered if I was the only person that noticed every demo of a water table the "concentrates" dont look very concentrated. Every time I come home with cons, they are black as night and once you add water, it almost turns into a putty. I would like to get one of these tables but wont until I see someone with some real black sand running over it.

Here you go. I ran nothing but black sand so that you can see the black sand moves away and down the table... Sure my demos I added gold cause I did not have any raw dirty at the time. My concern was how well the heavy gold would stick in my videos. As I wanted a table I could dump from my pan to get the bigger gold first then keep the small fine gold in the con for rainy days to run. Say what you want but the tables work.

Keith has built an excellent table here for recovering fine gold, I haven't any equipment for making my own. You might also look at the Black Magic table, it only cost about $130.00. Reed Lukens (not sure of the spelling) has video on here from the past showing it running. I have one, and can say, it works extremely well.

 

[AzViper]

Here is Reeds video. If you do not have the skills, tools, or the time to build my table then by all means look at buying the Black Magic as it does the same thing. The Martin is way OVER PRICED. Granted the Black Magic does not have the vial mounted into the bottom of the table, but that can be easily done using a Step Drill Bit.

It sure can, huh Keith.

Dang Jeff that look just like a copy of a Miller Table from the plans I have here online.

Here's the table I built from 1/4" acrylic and a cutting mat. The dam is adjustable for both height and tilt. The table is 10 x 17". Pump is a 180 GPH 120V fountain pump. I also used 3/4" thick dehumidifier belt to help smooth the water and catch bubbles behind the dam. Also added a brush holder at the top. I since added a second LED light. Both run at 6500K (sunlight) and really make the gold pop. I may add a vibrator system, but tapping on the support with the back of the brush works too. I did rough the mat a little with 400 grit.



If I build another one I'll use 1/2" acrylic sides and dado the mat into the sides and back. That should stop the hogging of the mat from water going underneath. Had to add extra screws at the back to hold it down.

if you build another Miller table and use the same mat , try it without scuffing the mat and compare it to your current tables results (compared to the slate paint or matting)to see if the scuffing is really needed! your table looks well built . I used slate (because I had some)on my table and I really like its results. one thing I do to my table prior to use is wash the slate off of any left over residue from the privious run .

 

[Capt Nemo]

The scuffing helps add a little texture which helps hold those flyers. Plus the mat seemed a bit oily when I first got it, and nothing seemed to want to stick very well. The gold sticks real hard (usually) and is hard to brush into the hole. It likes to go underneath the nylon bristles of the brushes I use. Along with gold, copper sticks pretty well. (hit a bunch of bright copper flakes and short wires on one beach)

The scuffing is kinda like seasoning a new pan.

I do have one little flake that drives me nuts on this table. This piece likes to catch and then fly off the table every time I get a brush near it. Looks like a crumpled flake of gold leaf at 20X. Wire gold is also a mover on this table. Have to pan those out.
