Gold seperation unit

[BobbyDSwift]

Try Jetdry dishwasher fluid, it works well to stop the retention and gold floating.

[CorbanNewman]

the problem with this video is just that we didn't get to see the end product: ie how much gold was actually sucked into the snuffer bottle or what it'd look like if placed into a vial.

[SuperB776]

Nice!...Great idea and design...b

[ProxySpam]

why the funeral music?

[5quarter]

bubbles steal gold... either lower the feed tube or add an open bottom damn to smooth the flow. another trick is to add the cons across the table with a table spoon. you dont want "islands in the stream" it creates too much turbulence and will blow fines right out of the box

nice unit you built ( ",)

[Khorias]

How much did you have to sand it down to get it smooth? Been trying to get mine smooth like a chaulk board but its a real pain! The paint is so thick and dries way too fast!

[secoxxx]

@Khorias i didnt sand anything, just painted the raw board with 3 coats of the chalkboard paint.

[maxinpains]

Does this seperates those Pyrites from blacksands with golds? Thanks

[ProkofievRules]

An elegant solution. Bravo.

Whose set of variations is that? It's not the rachmaninoff chopin variations...

[1straightflush2]

Nice recirculating sluice for fine recovery! This is how they do it Slow, with a long run to get fine gold. Your project is sound and works Kudos! By the way your video is one of the better ones I've seen and your choice of music was good. Thank you for posting I will save your video and look forward to seeing more.

[auburnrain916]

You rock, and it looks like it does a great job too. Thanks you saved me about $100 dollars, i was going to by the black magic con table for like $129 + shipping. I will let you know how mine works out.

[auburnrain916]

So who sells paint like that? Do you just spray the wood with it? Too cool, and thanks for the reply. By the way you should get your band back together, im a musician too.

[secoxxx]

@auburnrain916 home depot, $10 a pint. roll on like 4 layers

[auburnrain916]

What materials did you use to make this unit??? I love making my own gold cleaners, and would love to try this one. This baby reminds me of the Black Magic Con table...

[secoxxx]

@auburnrain916 just some 1x3 boards, chalkboard paint and some pvc tubing.

[shye7493]

I know some people are freaking out about how far the gold gets down the table but if it works that good and your like me ( want every piece possible ) I would snuffer up all the clean gold and run the cons a few more times, great video good idea I hope my daughter wont miss her chalk board :)

[secoxxx]

@shye7493 yeah and for under $20 and 20 minutes to make, i think it separates fines better than all the other gimmicks out there.

[BTcigars]

What is the music playing?

[Criterion515]

@BTcigars Barry Manilow - Could it be magic

[Criterion515]

@Criterion515 Oops, scratch that, I didn't get far enough into the vid to hear that it's actually Chopin's Prelude 20, which is at the start of Could it be magic.. being a Manilow fan waaay back in the day, it immediatly sprang to mind.

[cyberlord64]

what do you do with the gold once you have collected it? is it clean gold or does it need more refinement?

[samram13]

is this just flat rubber or grooved mat?

[secoxxx]

@samram13 its chalkboard paint

[brnbear99]

What is the stuff that you are putting into the water near the end of the video? I have seen others do this..but, I have no idea what the stuff does or is for. Is it to make the Gold shine or "show up?" What is it?

Thanks!!

[brodie1709]

@brnbear99 if your talking about the little bottle he is using it is just to suck the gold up, then once the gold is in the bottle he squirts out the warter that was also sucked into the bottle.

[ArizonaBob]

Great table you made there! Have you had much luck with separating values from heavy black sand concentrates? If so, do you think that it would be an effective black sand processor?Thanks for the great vid,,,I had to give a thumbs up to this one and add it to my favorites! Peace, Bob

[secoxxx]

@ArizonaBob thanks bob! i wouldnt use this with heavy black sands, i would just go for a small shaker table for that. it would just take forever with heavy black sands

[ArizonaBob]

@secoxxx Thank you very much for responding! The shaker table idea seams to be the best one so far. I have been trying to think of non-chemical ways to extract the fines from the tons of black sands I have...but the shaker table seems to be the best way to do it mechanically. Having said that, if I build one, I will use the chalk board paint approach that you used for your device and see what happens. Thanks again for the great vid!

[GreywolfMiner]

kind a thinking maybe if the concentrates were classified down a bit more would work more effectively...

[secoxxx]

@GreywolfMiner yeah i just didnt want to classify them anymore, lol. these were straight out of the sluice.

[muconium]

Maybe it's just me, but the gold seems to have traveled too far down the table for comfort.

[secoxxx]

@muconium byt the time anything is far down the table you can see it and wipe it back up higher. not very fast water flow.

[junez85]

Sorry but you think rubber matting would work? Cheers :D

[secoxxx]

@junez85 you can try some very low profile vmat

[junez85]

Hey bro, cheers for posting this video, this looks great, me and my mate are going into the bush these summer holidays and will be using this idea! what kind of pump you using?

[secoxxx]

@junez85 its a little 30gpm 12v, same thing that comes with the blue bowl

[9DragonMaster]

i wonder what would happen if you paint your ribbed matting with this stuff =D

[9DragonMaster]

ROFL My luck!!! my friend was painting his wall black, and i ended up with half a bucket of this type of paint today!!! Now i get to test it on some my rubber matting!!! =D As soon as my dad leaves for work I'm going to cut the wood i was going to use. ROCK DEM NATTY DREDLOCKS YA GOLD DIGGN HIPPIE! I have an A51A super mini Keene sluice with miners moss instead of carpet, and I'm finding really fine gold, flake, and really pretty silver specs, which might be silver/palladium/mercury =D

[Dewelder40]

get rid of the music and it will be worth watching

[TheSneakyboots]

This is a Miller Table; the laminar flow of the water separates really fine gold. Good job...I'm getting ready to build one with Borco instead of slate and chalkboard paint to see how much tooth it has.

[GregoryD57]

Lost interest because of the music. Good luck wit dat !

[hunter69denys]

Not bad, looks like you have some pretty rich material !

Did you classify it first ? Are these cons you're running ?

Or just raw material ? Nice job, thanks for posting !

[blackowl6]

Pretty cool-have a great season......

[funwithjamess]

I have developed a automatic gold panning machine thatat the end of the day you can clean up using this equipment. one man can work two of these machines as fast as you can shovel the dirt in , meanng tons of dirt it works in dry and wet placer it cost a small amuont money to change over this gold pan it will work a lot of dirt in a day. I will sell the plans or build the aautomatic gold pan . the main item is free , my email is funwith_u2@yahoo.com

[ruckus1972]

Is that just ribbed rubber matting your using?

[secoxxx]

@ruckus1972 no, its black chalkboard paint, about 3 coats. $10 a quart at home depot

[governmentcheese411]

well...to slow. buy some ribbed mat and adjust the angle up a bit. then add a small plate on top to better spread your material into the sluice. finally...loose the brush. you wont need it.

[Cole338Fed]

That s freakin' awesome! !I am going to build one of these. Then I am going to buid a stealth hibanker and get me some nice gold.

[cowsayingmoo102]

it looks like works great, but one question; have you tried just letting it run for a long time instead of using the brush the way you did?

[secoxxx]

@cowsayingmoo102 yeah, the brush just speeds up the process.

[rasmussigfus]

you need a bigger pump on that thing.with more water flo it wont plug up like that.

[secoxxx]

@rasmussigfus umm no, its not a sluice man, it doesnt plug up, you want the flow slow

[spilsnthrils]

Another easy way to make one of these is just paint the bottom of your stream sluice with chalk board paint and either drill hole in the sides for the PVC or just attach it to the top.

[bigdearmond]

Cool music, looks like the paint works pretty good. Are you classifying your material. Can you keep the under 100 mesh?

[secoxxx]

sometimes i get lazy and work with 1/4" but for the most part its panned out sluice cons.

[jackrodus]

Cool sluice bro. Not all prospectors are sourdoughs. Dont sweat the haters. Looks like your fine recovery is working just fine......ehh, no pun intended lol.

Think I'll make my own. I'd like to compare it to my homemaed blue bowl. Peace dude, may your pan be filled with color. HH

[1flappingwings]

Your name reminds me of an old miner named Cy Cox who used to wander the hills in Nevada with his pack mule, all loaded with his mining equipment. He'd stay out for weeks at a time. When he died, they found hundreds of thousands of dollars sewed inside his clothes.  He was a good friend of my grandfather.

[kimdaviscali]

Looks like a good video but had to shut it off due to all the screaming on your audio track.

[secoxxx]

not everyone is in my demographic.

[kimdaviscali]

So you had to have screaming music so they could hear it all the way over in their "demographic"? ok :o)

[secoxxx]

yeah

[flappingwings7]

Wow you're fast in answering. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Charlotte

[secoxxx]

np, just make a sluice shape bx out of smooth finisihing wood, apply about 4 coats of the paint, pop some holes in some PVC, get a small pump like for a blue bowl and your on your way. i spent about $20 to make this minus the pump which i already had.

[flappingwings7]

Wow, good work! What gave you the idea to use chalkboard paint? and Is the finishing sluice laying flat on the box, or is there an angle?

[secoxxx]

its at a slight angle. the chalkboard paint is just rough but not to rough to create turbulence so i gave it a shot and it worked.

[onefastdart]

Really nice sluice you have there! What kind of pump are you using?

[secoxxx]

thanks, its a 750gph 12v. this is called a Miller Table.

[fatcartman]

whats that on the pink bucket? is it the gold or some similar yellow colored metal?

[secoxxx]

what pink bucket?

[chestateegold]

where did you get that scoop? i have seen similar ones on prospecting websites but i dont want to pay 13 for a little plastic scoop

[secoxxx]

I sell them for $5.95, message me for the link.

[Chargeglass]

Tumalo area bend/redmond

[Chargeglass]

I can't find a snuffer anywhere, any ideas?

[secoxxx]

where are you located?

[derpdeder]

cool, I haven't heard of that before. I'll have to give it a try when I get around to building one. Thanks

[derpdeder]

Very nice! what type of matting did you use? and is it ribbed or flat?

[secoxxx]

just 3 coats of chalkboard paint on wood

[secoxxx]

i think the last reply got removed, Black Chalkboard paint from home depot, on wood just a basic sluice shape. a 2" pipe with about 10 holes in it, and just play untill you get the angle and flow right.

[secoxxx]

hey thanks, im just finishing up a nice aluminum unit more self contained.

[tonapah141]

just use a rotapan, would be faster & more fine gold capure

[secoxxx]

you obviously didnt read the description. this is a concetrate clean up table from highbanking or sluicing. unlike the rotapan it doesnt require touching a pan after your done sluicing for the day. plus, it only costs about $5 to make.

[tabwyo]

How far down did the gold migrate??

[secoxxx]

since the video ive adjustted the water flow, i had it al little high, now it only goes about 1/4 the way down.

[Carlotheprospector]

Instead of using the sniffer bottle you should've turned it off and poured it straight into you pan, then made a pile of gold with your fingers and then used the bottle

[secoxxx]

my next one will have a small hole cut into it to sweep the gold into.

[brandywine68]

Drop the music. Tell the people what you are doing and how you made this. Where did you you get the gold?

[secoxxx]

vid was for members of my site,

what it does? Look in description.

how i made this? look into Miller Tables.

where did i get the gold? Look int eh description.

[hixonAu]

Looks good to me........make that your-self man.......like the tune too.

[secoxxx]

Yeah, about $25 of stuff. 2 hours
