Love the Cube, dont love cleaning those mats though.. i made my own bucket trommel that sits on the cube, but also can be used for dry classifying , or used as a high banker w sluice box ect.. i always enjoy your videos...
Never run larger than a 1/4" through trommel. Reason being, the larger stones will clog up the trommel and you will lose gold. Better yet 1/4" concentrate works best! I tried running larger concentrates last year and found that my Gold Cube Trommel (Holes) plugged up. Then I concentrated down to 1/4" and added another Unit (5) units all with small to larger Dream Mats (Lower 4 units) and catch all fine gold to smaller nuggets. It took lots of testing to get it correct.
Yep i trust spiral wheels the old metal type. I feel the cube needs real miners testing it not the weekender with fly poop. The cube 4 me shat gold out as fast as i put it in. It only catches fly poop not flaky or foil or bb type gold. I see you moded urs i was thinking about doing what u did stacking more cubes with actual riffle mats but in the end isnt that just a super over priced sluice box?
I am curious on what part of country you are in... Looks like AZ, I am in Southern California and we have similar ground. I was going to get the Mini Max Sluice by Keene but this thing looks awesome. Do you get gold in your area? Powered gold or nuggets ?
@@GoldFeverAdventures Cool man, Yuma? Im in Imperial. Just getting into the prospecting. I have always wanted to and my good friend got me started now hooked. I think I will go with the Keene gold sluice because of price.
Just got my gold cube and it clearly says NOT to use soap with it in the directions for use. It does say to clean the mats with soap to remove grease. The reason is that it submerges the gold so floating gold should not be an issue. Will soap hurt the process? Doubtful.
Hi Jack, love my GF trommel had it for nearly 12 months now. I was wondering if you have noticed that there is a build up of material under the barrel gear? I have directed a constant water flow under mine to wash away material that builds up there. I have heard of some other people having the same issue. Cheers Robert Aust'
I ran a cube in Alaska with super rich cons. It loaded up with gold than dumped a lot of flake and foil gold and pickers. I would like to see some 1 run a gold cube with actual gold not just fly poop. Like say 10-20 ounces in 5 buckets of heavy cons. Not this light top dirt i see in all the youtube vids. I still trust the old spiral wheel slower but you can watch it working and tune it and stack them 3 deep 1 feeding the other. I will do more testing with the cube.
@GoldFeverAdventures for the slick tray is it pre drilled or do it yourself . I was just wondering ,I've got the 4 tray gold cube . I like the newer version of the trommel over the older version .
I have that set up plus a dream mat tray in the cube, love it but we use a much bigger set up now so my gold fox and cube set up is for sale ready to go. in wickenburg AZ. $1,000
