DIY Home Made Blue Bowl Homemade Gold Recovery

http://www.goldprospectors.ca - I love little projects and building stuff like this, so I decided what the hell, lets make a blue bowl! This home made blue bowl is made for gold recovery through a vortex in the middle of an angel food cake pan. I modified it somewhat, and even built a completely level bench to mount it on. It drains out into my finishing sluice for a second process. If anything happens to make it out of the bowl, the sluice will catch it. If it even gets past that, the bucket will catch everything else.

Cool! I like it. So how did it work?

@Espressodude So i was able to test it out today (video has been taken, might take me a day or two to put it online) but I can say now that the bowl is definitely best for sand material. Anything bigger than grains of sand or just a tiny big bigger does move eventually, BUT its SLOW AS HELL. I classified the material down to very very find tiny gravel/sand (1.8th??) but it was still to heavy.

@Espressodude If there was a race with the exact same material between this bowl, and my finishing sluice, the sluice would blow it away. I can do a whole 5 gallon bucket of this material in half the time it takes to do ONE SCOOP of the same material in this bowl. Now, i think the bowl has its place though. It will be GREAT at doing sandy material... I will probably be using the finishing sluice a LOT more...

I probably didnt need to have two pieces of equipment to recover the gold. I just wanted to do it for the cool factor. haha
