Homemade Floating Sluice Experiment | Finding Gold 

Bro, 100% mad. Suggestion is to get rid of that riffled pipe, they cause headaches. $30 from Bunnings you can buy a smooth bore kit.

Maybe the best diy set-up ever created. Awesome and I will be imitating it STAT. Mad props to you guys down under!!!

That is one slick gadget...!!! Wow 🤩

Texas...I'm very impressed, and that was just from looking at it. Texas doesn't have much to offer for looking for gold. 20 minutes and you two got THAT? Really can't wait for round two. Excellent!!!

This looks cool! Great ingenuity! Very light for those of us that don’t want to drag a battery, pump, & sluice box up a trail!

Outstanding guys! Very creative use of handy materials. Great job and thanks for sharing. Enjoy the search!

that's what I love about prospecting. been able to think of a idea and then see it work is awsome! i wasn't expecting that much gold. u will be itching to get back there! thanks heeps for the shout out!!! glad you like them

This is great stuff to watch. My dad gave me pump like this from his Coy carp pond shed. Very resourceful and creative . Keep up the good work.

What a fantastic idea!! lightweight, and inexpensive, but most important, extremely effective! Bob in Germany

That is so cool, 10/10 for effort. Can't wait to see the results of a full session

Wow you guys, excellent design and idea! I love seeing this kind of stuff, gives me ideas!

Truly enjoyed the adventure with the sluicer...

Awesome. Great job

Wow, love your invention! Great clean-up for only 15 minutes!

Very creative of you both !!

Looks like a great way to find archaeological sites in creeks. Thanks for the vid and idea! Happy hunting and finding!

At first I had my doughts but after seeing those pans I'd say that's an awesome idea! Great little pump sluice guys!

That’s awesome guys great idea thanks for sharing enjoyed watching 👍👍👍👍👍⛏⛏

Nice design and I like the sluice box and riffle set up. Some nice Australian gold you folks captured. Someday I hope I can visit family I have in Australia and do a lil minin !! Take Care and find lots of gold pockets !

That's pretty sweet! Thanks for sharing your creativity 😁

Outstanding idea, Great job!

nice interesting design. thats cool! time to watch the rest the video.

Cheers from gold country in Northern California. This is great! Super lightweight, cost effective and it works. I did something similar but I 3D printed the whole thing. I hated pumping into the bucket and having to tote the bucket around. I also used the flotation noodles for buoyancy. I originally used a corrugated hose. I switched to a smooth hose and maintenance/clog issues were greatly reduced. Great job! Thanks for posting.

That is incredible!!!! Bless your beautiful hearts!!!! Thank you Soooo Much!!!😊

Wow. Great job guys. I applaud your ingenuity. The best challenge any prosector faces is creating equipment for your specific area. Every area is different. You have to become the expert in the area you're working.😁👍 cheers from Massachusetts

Awesome work well done love it

Great little invention, well done, imagine a weekend away using that device, not just 30mins or 3hrs, hope you find heaps more..... 👍👌

That’s awesome!!! Good thinking Nice little invention

I would be happy with that. Thanks for the vid.

Worked pretty good for the area your using it . Nice job looking forward to seeing more

One word : GENIUS ! i was thinking of getting that kinda hand pump for if my battery died! Great to see it in action! Beware dodgy plastic pieces i guess! Cheers from Montreal Canada!

I'm impressed, great invention guys..... you'll work out the bugs and this sluice will work great for you!!!!!

Very cool! Hope you find lots of gold with it. 👍

That is ingenious!

Great set up guys lots of black sand very well done got me thinking now cheers

Great minds think alike, I just watched your cool Frankenstein.. And a few days ago wanting to makea clean up sluice I was at bunnings and got that same gully drain, I also saw that miners moss matt, it seems to look like it will do the job, good to know someone's used the same items with success, glad to know I'm on the right track, Im now going to look to see if u have a update vid on your Frankenstein, good job

Looks like it was working well before pump broke. Will be good to see it have a few hours run time! Can't wait to see the next vid cheers

I'm impressed, you should draw up a set of plans with an actual backpackers sluice and your home made sluice and sell the plans online. I'm sure other will be asking in the future.

Super awesome job. Happy Hunting.

Very clever both go with a smooth wall hose, can't wait to see you guys next time.

Great invention guys, its cheap, easy to make, light weight and it works

Really nice little sluice guys, great stuff!

very nice invention . Well done also .

very nice job on the sluice. hope the next outing brings you lots of SHINY! :-)

Very Nice! Proof of concept!

What a brilliant design. Simple but very effective.

That's a fantastic idea as a hand used dredge. It's brilliant.

Cool little invention 👍

Love the concept great idea

Well done Guys..👍 Cheers Famo59.👍🤓🍺⛏

Nice one look forward to make a Frankenstein for my self. Thank's for the video

you 2 are the best I lmao when I seen the floaty things because that's something I would do🤣 it worked great well done👍

Nice gold and good idea !

Congrats ! This video took off fast ! 😎😁🐕👍

great idea guys.

Great little project a hand flotation dredge it works that's for sure great job

Great idea.

That is genius love it sorry about the pump I’m thinking you got this design ready to try again for sure nice job

Great idea guys👍👍 looks like it will work well.

Your sluice box is awesome! I'm a new subscriber, sent to you by Metal Pirate Girl! Looking forward to your adventures!

Well done on the design guys and all made from stuff you can buy at Bunnings. Nice catch on the shiny stuff for 20 minutes work.

Brilliant!

It was very recently I found your channel, very fun and informative. Also like the design you have, two things I was thinking about, one that someone mentioned with smooth hose between pump and sluice. And two maybe use a rectagular tube as s,luice instead, I think due to the curvature of the bottom that it is not as effective as a straight bottom. Here in Sweden we have type rectagular ventilation ducts in plastic that are 4x2 inches and very light which could work. Maybe worth a try and I would like to see how it does! Haha. Keep up the nice work!

Nice!! i love it. i am going to make one . thanks for sharing.

I can’t wait to see what you get when you put a few hours on it. Thanks for sharing!

Great idea, gunna make one. Congrats!

Great idea 💡. Works really well. Hope 🙏 you get all the bugs out. I think I will build one myself. Thank you for sharing. Maybe you could do a video of the construction of little Frankenstein. Much love ❤.

Genial la rampa,me gusto mucho el video.like👍👍😊😊 Saludos desde España

you kiddos did a awesome job i really enjoyed watching. i wish you 2 all the best may your pan always have gold in it p.s. if you are like me you had just as much fun building your idea as much as me i built my own equipment as well 3 in suction dredge. getting ready for this season can't wait to get up on the river

Guy's this is amazing you have made something that will help people that think and know that it's highway robbery the prices of these sluses out there like that goldhog the price of that is twelve hundred dollars to damn much I would be embarrassed to sale something like that for so much money there's 150 dollars in metat and a hour to make it ask a welder oh ask me been welding for thirty years and that awful but there's you and we love y'all thanks for sharing your unbelievable creation with people that need it bless Y'ALL thumbs up my friends WOW everyone hit that thumbs up

Very cool!

Great idea looks pretty cool I’m sure with a little tweaking you’ll get it working awesome. I give you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻quick easy & items that won’t break your budget. Endless possibilities keep up the awesome ideas 👍🏻be safe & pan on

Hi A&S, Thanks for a great idea. Even if some gold gets in the pipe it don't matter you still have it. Dennis

Well done guys hope your gonna patent that little bad boy !!

Super Duper little invention. Register that design guys x

You two might be on to something there. I can see some potential in that idea. Cool...😎✌️

Wow that’s nice way easier then shoveling and hauling buckets great idea

Very nice guys!! Clever, grab yourselves some Dream Mat for that bad boy. 😁

Great video Guys!!!! Please please do another one with this same setup as I’m very interested to see how it goes!!!. Also wondering if you’s have a video on making the hand pump dredge as it seemed to work great while it was going.. Cheers

You guys did great in fifteen minutes of pumping for sure... Go Frankenstein LOL HH jim

Cool idea

Looks good 👍

G'day Alicia & Steve. Love your design, straight forward in its approach with a good layout. To be honest I was expecting it to go arse over once the pan at the end filled up with waste. I'm guessing that for most of us, we would have to wait till the end of summer to be able to steal the kids pool noodles and get away with it 😆😆. If you can replace your existing hose with an internally smooth hose you'll find its easier to work with because you'll obtain higher suction pressure and water velocity with less pumping effort simply because an internally Smooth hose has about 30% less restriction to flow than an internally Corrugated hose. It's the same with airflow through corrugated duct versus smooth duct, pipe or tube. Thank-you for another top original video 👍.

Nice job ! good idea .

Awesome idea dudes and shame that pump broke haha! Looked like heaps of gold in that creek. Doing it with a pump is definitely the go! Can't wait to see the next time you give it a go over a few hours. Have a good week, cheers!

Cool kit there, good work, hope it fixes up ok and you can refine your idea. Tc and Happy Hunting my friends

Great little idea I remember the gold dredging days we would get some gold in that rippled pipe.I think if u could get a pipe without the ripple it would be even more efficient enjoy.

Great idea that.. Very impressed guys & girls.. 💛 the hair colour.. Suit's.

You just turned my subscription if this actually works I'm actually going to be impressed even if it doesn't work I'm impressed just to think of that is awesome Bob from Connecticut I already know I'm going to enjoy your Channel that's an innovation I have not seen or even would have thought of thank you God bless you and yours and good luck I hope it works

I often thought of doing something like this awesome idea guys

Good one guys very nice idea, now did he buy you new pool noodles....lol look forward to seeing it in action again!!

I have one of those pumps, after trying it a few times I put some stainless steel wire across the intake to filter rocks above 1/2" which were always plugging the valves. Works much better now, except for leaves which still plug it up occasionally.

I think about three 2L soda bottles tied on around the gold pan side would do the trick of keeping it from weighing down as it fills up with rocks and dirt. GREAT Invention though. I think I'm gonna build one myself. Cheers!

Nice coloring guys

1,450th thumb up. 👍 I got that manual dredge. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Paid for itself in 2 trips. 8 mins in. That miner's moss matt...😳 Looked like a helluva catcher for fines.

Steve’s an ideas man😆 cool setup guys your going to do well next time🤙 thanks for sharing Cheers Steve ⚒👍🏻

Hey guys, very inovative of u both it's an awesome idea. Can i make 1 suggestion, u should try using a smooth wall hose so as 2 eliminate having cleaning out aswell thus shorter clean up time. Top work guy's.

This is awesome

What a great way of beating NSWs stupid laws on sluicing. I can see this being a great crevising tool. Give me a shout when you next plan to come down south of the border. Im 25 minutes from albury. Great Work.

This is a great idea good job!!! You guys should try it with a larger hand pump and smooth hose supplying the sluice! you will probably be able to pump the Material with less effort do to less friction with a smooth hose
