Gidday, My Channel is mainly about GOLD PROSPECTING, but also includes tips on GPS and NAVIGATION file conversion; How to use Google Earth, OziExplorer, HEMA Navigator etc. It features INFOFILMs and TUTORIALS on various Prospecting techniques, Gold Research tools & tips and how to use various mapping tools that will help you get to where you want to be......out in the GREAT OUTDOORS......ENJOY
Screen the dirty water only and pan down carefully; can you do a video on getting that gold out of the pan and into a vial or suitable storage until I have an ounce? Or, say, half an or even 1/4 ounce? My problem has always been in transferring a pan into ever smaller containers until I can collect enough that doesn't take up a huge amount of room in the time it takes to fill a suitable amount-snuffer bottles I always feel I'm floating a lot out, and with every transfer, maybe from the pan into a beaker and the water evaporates, or clarifies enough if needed to pour enough water off to add the next batch? How much muddy water would I need to process for a 1 gram batch, or even smaller? Save it all, and when it's worth it, do it all! Seriously. I am lazy, and it haunts me to know, or think, I'm losing gold in any step of the process, and then I avoid that step and never get it done; I'm beginning to think I am a hoarder!
Yea that was cool . Funny I thought about that this morning , and I pulled out the vibra5or and showed it to my brother. Then I came across your video tonight. I just knew it. Premanision !
Aussie Bloke what a beautiful set up mate. I’ve just turned 50;and I’ve made me mind up. I owe me home and I’m over working for the man so to speak. I’ve always had fun prospecting with the Kids and my beautiful wife. So I. Going full time buddy. It’s just the life style. Yeah it can be hard work and at times shit happens. But I believe it’s the perfect time. I got some good funds in the bank. I’ve got me 9th but reliable caravan. All my gear. But this has sold me this sir. I’ll be Prospecting with the metal detectors. Plus say I bring 400 kms of perishables I’ll bring back 400kms of ore. And the set up I’ll have at home will be me job. Classifying and learning what works best. Plus’s I can give me self a good 5 years of practice, learning adjusting and live what I know 100% would be a humble but successful HAPPY LIFESTYLE. GOOD ONYA BUDDY.👌🇦🇺
Recently found my first gold and it was 1-3 pieces of this stuff in a pan. Captured a total of 12 specks. Sadly it all disappeared when I tried to clean it up.
Crazy experiment that I wouldn't have guessed would have caught any gold, especially with carpet, tiny expanded metal, & big-ish rifles. A shaker sluice that still needs to be panned instead of a one and done shaker table. Hmm; idk; I guess it's good if you can't make a shaker table. No videos for 3 years, No reply for a year; was interesting to think about though. Would like to figure out how to do fine gold recovery or most of it straight away. - Am thinkin tight roller screens to classify fine gold and sand at the moment, never thought about vibration as I thought it would compact or bounce gold out and wash away. Cool vid.
Absolute awesomeness!!! Love your idea and you proved it works! Thank you John for that warm Aussie Love! Adore your accent ❤❤❤ Coming from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦❤ Love Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ Blessings 2U
All it’s doing it’s mechanically breaking up the surface tension and allowing the surface gold to sink and gets trapped by the sluice box. Amazing video! Cheers from California! This is one of those one of kind think outside the box teachers that really know their stuff!
Just noting - your tailings bucket is being vibrated throughout the process somewhat, which means that gold will may be settling downward in the tailings bucket, and therefore won't be in a scoop from the top of the bucket. It would be worth panning down further throughout your tailings bucket to understand whether any gold is getting through. The reason I mention this is that you said the material is getting compacted on your sluice, and gold has a very hard time moving through compacted material. Just something too think about. Thanks for your video.
I ain't got no gold where I'm at. So what I do is put a small lead fishing weight in my pan and just practice. Every once in a while I get a little bit of black sand.
