Turned out to be about half of a 5 gal bucket, going ti take a while since all I do is pan. If anyone has any idea how to get the results of panning without panning, let me know.

HOW TO BUILD A HENRY HENRY "POOP" TUBE

Heres How You Do It

Go to your local Home Depot or Lowes
Purchase these items.

• 1, 1x3"x 8' pine board.
• 1, 8' length or 4"dia corrugated plastice flexible drain pipe "not perforated".
• 1, small pack of flat head wood screws #10 in size.

Now go to Walmart into the Sporting goods dept and purchase a 12vlt boat bilge pump 750 model.
You now have all of the ingredients to build your Henry "Poop" Tube.
NOW FOR THE ASSEMBLY...

• Cut the 8' 1x3" pine board in half into 2, 4' peices. Use one peice save the other.
• Cut the 8' length of corrugated drain pipe into 2, 4' peices. Save one use the other.
• Now take the 4' of drain pipe you are using and split in to 2 halves, by splitting it length wise.
• Take one of the halves of the drain pipe and screw it onto the 1x3"x4' pine board.
• Put the screws into the bottom of the corrugated riffles, 1 every 6" will do nicely.
• Now take the other split half and set it on top of the one you screwed down onto the pine board and snap it in place.

NOW YOU HAVE BUILT A BASIC HENRY "POOP" TUBE...

• You can now use it in a creek or stream to work out your concentrates and fine flour Gold.
• You can add on the bilge pump with a stop valve and some garden hose and by using a
  couple of 5 gallon buckets you can recycle your water and use the Henry Poop Tube at home.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER...

• Remember to set up the elevation from top to bottom at 1" [one inch] per/linear foot of Henry "Poop" Tube.
• NOW...Adjust your water flow so the tube doesn't load up with blondes or blows out all of the material leaving the riffles empty.
• Using a scoop from those dry soap detergent boxes is perfect to feed the tube.
• Load the tube 1 [one] scoop at a time allowing it to clear before loading again.
• Look for all of the Free Gold and Snuffer it out every chance you get.
• Remember to classify your cons down to #20 mesh for use in the Poop Tube.
• Larger than #20 mesh you can pan out easily with either a 14" pan or 10" finishing pan.

You now have one of the most DEPENDABLE TOOLS IN YOUR PROSPECTING SUPPLY BIN...
Total cost to build one is less than $30 and total time to assemble one is less than 2 hours

Thanks, do you have a picture?

No I don’t.....but you can set it up at home....You can use a swamp cooler pump and make it less expensive to use...art

Well, if you are married, or have some kids, grab a six-pack of beer...sit on the crick bed, and delegate...

In the end you will do all of the work anyways...so drink the beer and get started...
