Why do you take apart your sluice box when your water is running? By taking it apart while the water is running, the low-pressure zones become high-pressure zones again, causing your gold to flow out of the box again. I really think you should check your rock tailings. I love mining videos on KZitem! I have never seen a miner disrupt his sluice box when the water is running. It gives me the when I see you do it.

Had that happen a few times over the years 😅. Not for a long time though, I'm careful with the positioning. Finding the perfect balance between a safe spot for it to sit, that's also close enough to the water to reduce load on the engine and in turn, save on fuel costs 😁

It certainly is beautiful gold hey Jethro! Were only about 500m from the structure it shed from, so that's why. Seems there is another reef close by also, purity of approx 75% if I had to guess. This gold looks to be 97%+. Which is very nice colour indeed 😀

Good stuff mate, are you testing your sluice tailings? If it was me I wouldn't be altering the flows with my hands while the water is still streaming..
@TheGoldmansChannel
25 күн бұрын
Thanks Darren! I didn't sample my fine tailings this time, no. I rarely do, to be honest. I stopped worrying about losing gold about a decade ago. Did a heap of experimentation with sluices, flow, and feed rates to establish recovery rates. The end result was clear. Gold doesn't like leaving the box. Bugger all of it even makes it into the blue miners moss, let alone coming out the end. And I always "swish" out my boxes by hand to reduce volume. Many years ago I lost a big flat flake by being a bit aggressive with my swish. But that was in a clean up sluice with 10 or so grams packed into it. Like I said, gold ain't easy to kick out of a good box 😁

Finally 😢 Where the hell have you been friend 😊? I love watching your videos! OMG I can't wait to get wet and dirty again. So I decided to go back to school at age 46 to study and become a geologist. I'm just getting started in school. I already know most of it from my own experience. It's the stuff I don't understand when I look at the land that I want to know to become a better prospector and miner. One day at a time and I'll eventually get there. Until then I'll watch how it's done and watching you inspires me to keep going. I won't lie tazzy boys and Jeff Williams are also an inspiration. At least y'all don't post fake gold painted rocks for click bait on KZitem. Thank you and good on you mate 👍 Rock on!

Crazy that you disturb your sluice before getting a catch baison under the end of it. picking up the black mat over the v mat likly lost some gold and also change in velosicty of water goofs up the retention behind the riffels. Like your trommel very much. Seems to me water flow under the riffels through the miners moss will hinder gold retention. I used a highbanker with 35 feet of sluice and friend were amazed that I had gold all the way down it. Have to compliment you however not kicking over the concentrates pan hauling the pump and trommel passed it, that's my usual trick. Curious would it not been more productive to have used time spent paning cons on the creek running another 20 minutes through the trommel?
