Peluk's sluice in operation

August of 2006, on the beach in Nome, testing the performance of a small-mesh sluice. Minus 100 mesh was recovered. Don't know how much washed out. More testing required.

im not a expert but i have read and seen enough to know you don't dump a bucket load of in a sluice like that, you have to load it slowly so it won't do exactly like yours did (black sand backed up on one side) great looking sluice but your getting way ahead of your self...you took all that time to fll the bucket up to just dump it and lose half of it

show us the results please

Way too many things wrong on the vid. No classification? Look at the big rocks rolling down the sluice. Too much material at one time. The flow rate of water and angle don't look good to me either. No riffles?

Looks like noone reads the comment of the OP... he was testing the performance of the sluice...

What a waste of time and work to set all that up, dig all that dirt and then blow it all by dumping the bucket in in a big mound...shaking my head. Use a trowel dude, and slowly feed it in one or two scoops at a time. You'll get a lot more gold that way...unless you like to sweat for nothing.

No rifels?

what a waste of paydirt. Too much causes the top layer flow all the way down like a mud slide as you see here . There is no effect for the gold to be at the bottom at any time. Small trickles of dirt is the only way. I see this too often.

u needs a hopper and water so dirt and water mixed then into sluice

If anyone thinks he's doing this wrong, they're right. You should research the developments popandsons has made before you comment too much on this video. They currently have the best minds and methods in fine gold recovery in the biz. This video is not indicative of their abilities. Kind of ridiculous actually. I'm sure they'd agree these days.

c'mon you all should know better! He is not gold sluicing at all. This is the sluice method for finding water spiders. Look at the ground real close and you will even see some water spiders that got out. The real problem is he did not use the cob web moss in the bottom of the sluice.
