I find a squeeze bottle really helpful at rinsing out the cons container and feeder hopper

a hydrocyclone basically also you can defo scale this up and purchase a large piece of equipment called a hydroclone from some industrial machinery supplier but you may have to modify it for scale IE make the central outlet the feed etc and add a side feed for throughput or just make it custom

I have messed with some cyclone ideas before but never wanted to do stuff that people already tried so I tried a few of my own ideas a couple of years ago, with some success. I will definitely revisit that kind of system though eventually. And yeah this all should scale up, I have several plans when I can find the time to work on them. Thank you for your comment though, I enjoy hearing other people’s creative ideas and everything.

I only have one question. Do you use jetdry or some type of soap in your water to catch the ultra fine gold? I think this would be a great thing to have for catching beach gold. I live on the Pacific Northwest Coast of Oregon. There is literally tons of beach gold mixed in black and blonde sands. If you can scale this up, I truly think you are on to something great. What I like most is it wont rust or be destroyed by salt water. It doesn't weigh a ton like some of the commercial models already out on the market. So many people go for big gold and most likely they won't find it. This would allow me to get the small gold that I go for and not break my back or my bank to get it. Small gold weighs heavy when you have enough of it. Also many places won't allow you to run any gold catching tools that have an engine unless you have special permits. This is a great idea and something I want to add to my arsenal! 👍

I do use jet dry with just about every run. This would definitely work for beach sands, it might be slow for all day use but I am working on a slightly scaled up version that I ran about 60 pounds of cons in 30 minutes. The last video I uploaded shows that one. I am hoping this larger version will be good for beach sands or high volumes of crushed ore. The material has to be classified to -1/8th inch material, other than that it seems like it would be good for the beach. It should be as fast or slightly slower than existing products on the market right now but with this you should be able to fill up a 2 or 5 gallon bucket hopper full of dirt and walk away while it processes the material by itself so you dont have to constantly hand feed it. There is a ton of fine gold everywhere and with the right equipment it should end up being easier to get than the bigger stuff, thats just a guess a this point. And yeah you should be able to use it in most places. I live in California and we have the same laws but I think you can use it as long as it’s like 50 feet from a water source and you recirculate the water. Send me an email to toothpickmining@gmail.com, I can send you a prototype of the larger version to play around with. I’ll just charge the $18 shipping fee. It will be several weeks before I finalize that design but so far it seems like it will be useful in certain situations.

I bet you can change the flow rate by lowering the pump to adjust the material retention.

I apologize for the late reply but yeah that is one way for sure, the height of the discharge tube plays a role in that as well and also there are USB motor controllers that others and me have been using to control the flow.

How much sand can it process at a time? Can I run 10 kg of sand through it and trap all the gold that was in it? :)
@toothpickmining

Hey Teo, yes sir, I have ran 11.3 kilos and it did a good job. I thought I made a video to share with you but I guess not. It will take an hour or less and you will probably get around 95% recovery in the first run. After the first 20 minutes or so the feed rate will slow down but as long as there is material coming out of the discharge tube then it is still processing. Another KZitemr ran his 5 gallon bucket of cons and was impressed so yeah it will run as long as there is dirt coming out of the discharge tube.
