Sharing my passion for gold prospecting through video recordings. Hoping what we share will convince others to get out of doors and experience the rush of finding a few specs of gold in the bottom of a pan. Join Alec and myself as we become better prospectors while utilizing more sophisticated equipment as we move forward. We are anxious to hear from other prospectors and hope to learn more about this gratifying and (usually) healthy lifestyle.
Looks like complete overkill to me. Also, why transfer from the bottom where all the trash is? I use 1 slightly lower additional tub to to my trailing tub with a small spillway. My water is way cleaner than that.
Add 1/8th cup or less of pool flocculant to settle the silt, it last and last, one quart does a medium size pool. Environmentally friendly. Gravel yards and big mines use it. It's cheap. About $12 a quart. Keeps your matts and gear from build up. Increases pump life too.
Dude…first off the NY accent. Music to my ears. What part of AZ are you at? I’m in the Tucson area and about to buy my first claim. Anyway, great idea for the Bernoulli connectors. So I built a suit like yours, with 4 tubs instead of 3. The 1st and second tubs have micro filters splitting the tub basically in half. I’ve found I can run pretty much all day like that, and I remove sludge when me and my son take a lunch break. I’ll post a video of my system on my new channel. Cheers!!
Is this manual tranny easy to use? I read on a comment about the Rhino that if you have big feet that you'll have trouble shifting the gears. I have a size 11 foot and this is the only reason i haven't bought this particular model yet. What's your opinion on this ?
Also...I had a load of carb problems and have since stopped using gas with ethanol...problems disappeared. I still have both these units and they work fine.
@@bobbydemar88 thanks for your input, gonna pull the trigger on this Rhino. Probably get an adjustable carb and hotter CDI after the engine's broke in.
I think using a reciprocating saw was really a good idea as you get a vibrating effect without using an offset weight to achieve the vibrating effect. That is, now you do not have to be reliant on rubber mounts, as opposed to using solid mounts such as springs and hinges that would account for the reciprocating motion. Good idea, good video.
Anyone getting a building with concrete done like this ask concrete guys to do a 2"drop next too the framing helps with keeping water out and a slope by the garage doors
I think you erred and purchased the hammer drills that didn't have the SDS function. I've had one of the HF SDS drills and used it to drill 2 inch holes in a piece of ledge to split it for removal. It worked fine and still works great years later. If you had purchased the SDS drill, instead of an inpact drill, I think you would have been happy.
Versa tube kits are way too expensive, can easily get a building installed from someone else and still save a few grand compared to versa tube . Way too expensive for a do it yourself kit. $17,900 for a 30x39 with 10ft walls. Just payed 14k installed for a 30x40x10 . all vertical and the same metal specs …
does 3 tubs really keep your water clean? I have 2 big tubs with smaller tubs to catch tailings similar to yours. I cant keep water clean what so ever.. After a bucket of running dirt, the water is too muddy to see what is going on in the riffles.. Does this really work?
It works...the tubs act like settling ponds. In theory, the more ponds in line the cleaner the water. The water, when recirculating, is going to get cloudy as soon as you start running material. Watch your sluice activity by testing your tailings looking for loss.
Mongoose. If you don't mind me suggesting this is something that will help you and speed up your process while you had it all set up and measured out just should have went through with your hammer gun and just put a little dentation at each hole all the way to the end and then move your face out the way so you can drill your holes all the way through that way it would have speed your process up and you can blow everything through and one main issue a lot of people forget is to drill all the way through your slab I don't know how thick your slab is but it gets a better anchor when it pulls up from the bottom up instead of inside the concrete I hope this was helpful and you're doing a good job keep the good work up
The title of your video states you are building a 30" inch X 40" inch shop. Shouldn't it be 30' foot X 40' foot? Measurement skills are a necessity in the building and trades industry.
I notice you have anchor bolts about every 5 feet, it looks like. I had a shop installed recently where they only put anchor bolts maybe every 10 ft, and that concerns me. I already know they were a bad installer, because they put one wall up off level, and had to straighten it before I paid. Can't get anything good from anyone anymore.
One 1200 gph pump is not enough...buy a second to keep sufficient water flow. Down the road, consider an extension with Gold Hog mats...URs and/ or Scrubber mats.
Thanks for the video. Will go look at some of your others. I just bought a 2021 Rhino 250, and am looking forward to assembling and modifying it. Content like yours is much appreciated!
