Sit back relax and enjoy the epic conclusion to this prospecting adventure!
Apparently, according to Pioneer Pauly and Jeff Williams you can actually find gold in Home Depot and Lowe's bags of play sand right from the hardware store. I'm going to test this discovery on a whole new level and purchase 2 CUBIC YARDS of crushed concrete sand to process for gold!

Buy a whole mountain of sand, remove the gold and sell the sand at a premium because it is washed sand safe for kids to play with when all heavy metals are removed.

@fwiffo 24 дня назад

It still wouldn't come close to paying the labor, fuel or material costs. It's a fun experiment, but if it were possible to make a profit this way, gold miners wouldn't bother being so selective about what material they processed.

@dirkdiggler1242 23 дня назад

Cons from an old timers processing plant or even a mine would be the way to waste your time.

No lie. Japanese swordsmiths use the black sands to make their Samurai swords. It's their tradition. So the black sands that everyone throws away can be turned into some of the best metal in the world. I'd love to see the Forged in Fire show use this technique

1.33gm/2 yards equals 2 troy ounces per 100 yards of sand! The Gold Rush folks would tell you to set up a small washplant, run it, and then sell the sand after wards..

@GreenMountainGoldTrap 18 дней назад

Ah yes! The pain of the traditional sluice. They are so slow! Now, if you had a Green Mountain Gold Trap in a diy troth (man made river) and ran a large pump as the water source, you would have chewed through two yards in maybe two hours time! Wish you would have added the tailings back into the bucked before running it on the shaker table. Bet you would have had more! 👏🏻 Great Job!

@greenspiraldragon 23 дня назад

Thousands of dollars worth of equipment, 8 hours back breaking labor for 100 dollars minus 30 dollars for the sand. This is why most of the gold mines closed down. The payout for the gold has to be more than the cost to extract it.

@robriot6882 23 дня назад

The property where I live is all old river bed. I dug swimming pool size holes with a back hoe to bury some junk and it was sand all the way down to the bottom. I was sand blasting a car body using sand that I baked from the yard. I built a fire and put a large enameled pan full of sand in the fire. When I dumped out the pan there was a dime sized spot of gold melted to the bottom of the pan. So we are talking about an acre sized lot of sand deep as you can dig. I figured it would be too hard to process, so not worth the trouble. Maybe I was wrong about that

@rastaralph7154 23 дня назад

@williammc3183 23 дня назад

It appears that Darrell has his table angle pitching towards the catch bucket. Water flow should be down and away from the bucket, to carry the lighter material to the discard , and the table movement will cause the heavies to climb the riffles into the bucket . This is how Jason with mbmm describes his setup. Not sure why Darrell has it that way, maybe he knows more about his machine than I do. Hopefully.

If you used a solar panel and batteries to power the sluice making your electric cost free and you get truck loads of that sand and run it on your off time then sell the sand as "play sand" that's been washed then you could make a good bit of money as a side project. I didn't think you would have gotten half of what you did so it is definitely something I would look into getting going. Great job!

@xraycam3709 25 дней назад

Old buddy years ago told me that the old timers would separate the gold/mercury by slicing a potato in half, then cut an indented hole in flat side...put the mercury mixture on something that's heated from underside. Put potato (hole side) over top of mercury. Now when you heat it the mercury and fumes will burn off...and stay in the potato. Take your gold off hot metal - and you can recycle your mercury that is now in the potato. *Still beware of the mercury fumes that can escape during burn off.

@doreennacht 17 дней назад

Did you pan what was in the bucket to see what was left over? The biggest problem I saw was putting the sand into your recirculating water. The dirt embeds in the rifles and winds up letting everything ride on top and right out the sluice, which makes me wonder how much was really in there. That's why you always see a settling pond and a clean water pond.

@MW-nOttawa 23 дня назад

tip: point your hose the other way at the top, so its blowing backwards. You want the flow of water to naturally pass down the sluice, not be forced down it - the whole top section of sluice is wasted. Having the hose pointed back up towards the back wall won't clog anything as the constant flow of water will displace the dirt. You can shovel it in directly between the hose and back wall of the sluice.

@nathanegbert977 23 дня назад

I've seen experiments where guys break all the rules while feeding a known amount of gold through a sluice just to see how important the details are. Too steep, leaning, too much water, not enough water, infrequent cleaning. The result? None of it matters much as long as you aren't overloading the feed rate.
