Sluice Box Hack Part 2 - RE-MATCH! Home Depot Sells Sluice Boxes?!?! Viewer Suggestions Tested! 

That’s awesome Dan and a super idea. I’m like you… I try and keep something in my truck when traveling incase a spot looks tasty for gold. Super appreciate the comment and support! Much Respect Dan!

Thank you Randy! I appreciate that! Hey I didn’t see your name flash on a comment from my latest giveaway video. Make sure you check it out and join if you can (US residents) only unfortunately :) Thanks again Randy

Hey James! Thanks for coming by and yea I’ve seen that a few times and seems to be a really solid and effective sluice. I actually did a video with something similar (I called it the Jeff Martin Sluice). That sluice kinda of had the same principles but it was kind of hard to run material throughout because of how small it is. I do want to try and gutter sluice out. It’s seems like a fun build. Maybe this winter I’ll try one out. Thank again for stopping by my friend. Welcome to the channel and I hope you have a great Thanksgiving :)

Thanks 7 Thunders! I appreciate the kind words and support! I’m glad you like it! Stoney

Hey thanks my friend! Really glad you enjoyed the video! 😎 appreciate you!

Appreciate the comment my friend!

Hey Rob! Thanks man! And yea it’s a bit old but a lot of people still watch it and comment so I appreciate that. Definitely gives people different perspectives on how to catch gold. Especially people that are new to the hobby. Thanks again. I hope you have a great 4th !

Much love Gold Hunter 77! Thanks for noticing that an appreciating it. You know very well how hard some of these are to make and we go through countless hours of filming and editing just to produce 5-10 minutes of video. We’re both still very very new to this and I bet with another year or so we’ll be producing even better content. As one creator once told me… “strive for a 1% improvement on every new video.” I live by that now and it keeps me motivated. Oh and I never worry if a video does bad and flops. If it does, then it was meant to be. So thanks again Gold Hunter 77. Your comment meant the world to me today. Keep being great and keep up the great work! You’re blasting up there!!!

Another tip for the splash block. A lot of material will flow past the riffles to the sides . You can extend the riffles with silicone or block the sides by gleuing a piece of wood or something like that between the riffles and the sides.

@korkalsbeek7467 that’s another great tip that I’m sure would work great. Thus splashblock definitely makes as a nice clean up sluice and that tip will make it even better! Thanks my friend!

Thanks GS! Much love my guy 👍

Oh I couldn’t even imagine! That’s funny about the mosquito signs! I’ll need to Google that and see it :) yea it’s just we get these darn horse flies that won’t leave you alone… just makes it miserable at times. Sometimes I even have to run into my shop for a few minutes just so they forget about me! Thanks for the comment my friend! Glad you enjoyed that part 😎

Appreciate that JohnGrit! I hope you have a fantastic day!

Hey plumtiger1! Yea I agree with you… That was my top comment! Turn it around! So I did. Either way it worked :) appreciate you watching both videos! Super cool of you! I wish you a very Merry Christmas my friend. Thanks for the support!

Hey great rip my friend! I’ll definitely try that on my next outing with tons of bugs. It’s the mosquitoes and flys that drive me nuts! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season my friend!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser You will be pleasantly surprised how will it works. Not just mosquitos and horse fly but bees are less of a problem also. Happy holidays.

Thank you Mandy 😎 Who would of thought?!?!

I really have this many videos!!! Sheesh!

Thanks for stopping in and checking it out Mark. Appreciate that!

Thank you so much! Fun right!

Exactly! Almost anything flat with grooves can capture gold. If I do this next time, I actually want to make a DIY sluice with a bit more ingenuity and not just the product. If I know one thing… gold can be captured in just about anything :) thanks again!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser, FYI, I seen Dave Turin's new show "American Backyard Gold". One guy laid a tarp in a small creek/rivulet and put flat rocks all over it, then shoveled gravel onto it. He got a nice amount of gold. Got me thinking. Groom a slope in the creek, pin the top corners, roll the tarp out a bit and lay the flat rocks in a row, stagger the next row in between the top one to form a triangle pattern and so on. Maybe even give the tarp an undulating up down pattern as well, then wing dam it to get a decent flow of water. Thought, in a pinch, and it was a good idea for low flow areas where even a small sluice wouldn't work so well but test pans show a decent amount of gold if you needed to sell some.

@johnruckman2320 I saw that as well John and thought, man that’s a great idea! Speaking of which, I may have to try that when my creeks water level drops. And yea, I love Dave’s new show. I love the fact that he is showcasing normal everyday prospectors like myself. Pretty cool if you ask me :)

Hey James. Thanks for the comment and support. It cleans out just fine and actually works pretty good. I’ve used the splash gaurd multiple times for my clean ups and get good results.

Thanks for checking it out my friend! Good luck in Colombia! Heard the gold is nice down there!

Thank you Kathleen! You’re a rockstar for answering this question! I’ll put it to the test this spring/summer! Thanks again 😎

Thanks Man! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks brother :)

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser Just happened upon your channel. Thank you for all the hard work . You provide great information. What a teacher.

@@jamesharris4988 hey thanks James! I appreciate that. I just try and be informative and have some fun…. Even though sometimes I miss the ball, but thats what gets us better. Thanks again my friend!

Excellent ideas and yup… there’s nothing wrong with experimenting! Super appreciate the comment and support! Good luck out there my friend and welcome to the channel if you are new here :)

Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😎

Appreciate that @A3Skywarrior! Yea I hoped you like it. I’m just trying out different stuff to see what works for us folks who can’t get the “expensive” stuff! I have more in the pipeline. Thanks again man! Appreciate you 😎

Have a good night...going into work soon

Thanks my friend! Appreciate the kind words! Heading over to your channel as well. Strength in number :)

Oh that’s a good idea! I didn’t even think of that. I may give that a try! Thanks man! Appreciate the support my friend… I hope you have a great weekend :)

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser are you down on rogue?

I am not. A few of my other RU-vid friends are if you wanted to swing by their channels and see what they are finding? Really nice chunky stuff. Graveyard prospecting, west coast gold prospecting and Jefferson state gold to name a few. I went down there a month ago and had a great weekend. Looking forward to it again. I’m up in Washington, dinking around.

@StoneyCreekSparkchaser that's great I'm up in puget sound area for most part. Have to meet up sometime.

For sure man! That would be great!

Hey Richard! Thanks for the comment and support! And yes! I’d definitely be panning that and seeing what I can find! Good luck to you!

You da man Darryl! Thanks brother :)

Thanks John! I’ll put that on my list! They get nasty down there. :)

@Stoney Creek Sparkchaser not a problem. It's all natural and smells great

@@DIYBonsaiGuy I’ll look some out this afternoon and give it a shot!

Aviel! Of all the comments I received on this video, this is the first one suggesting that and it’s simple and genius! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that, lol! Thanks for the tip!

RobTech! Hey thanks for the comment and support and yea I can agree with you there. It’s so hard getting them set up in my little creek and having the water flow perfectly over the tops. Fun little projects non the less. I actually use the splash guard quite often to clean up my panned concentrates. Works pretty good for something that is so cheap. Others have commented as well on adding a bead of silicone to both sides to avoid cons going down the sides where there is no riffles. I haven’t done that yet but it’s in the works. Anyhow, thanks again and happy panning my friend! My the gold Gods be in your favor :)

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser completely unterstand and this is rather a nuance to optimize.. I really like videos like yours that compare with methodology.. this is just great, so go on an don’t listen to negative feedbacks. You’re doing a great thing there, living your and our passion!! *finding gold just right* 👍

Hey RobTech! No worries my friend and trust me, I didn’t take your comment as being negative but when I do get them, which you always will, I tend to overwhelmingly kill em with kindness. Life’s too short to be a troll and egg people on. So yea, don’t worry man. I just appreciate you coming by and commenting and finding these types of videos fun. There’s a lot of us out there and we do it for fun because it’s what we like to do. The .001 cent I get from a watch doesn’t matter to me one bit. It’s not why I’m here :) Cheers my friend :)

Thanks Jam. Appreciate you coming by. I won’t say exactly where I am due to the creek being on private property for most of its length, but I’m near a creek that is on public land that comes from the same head waters. It’s waddell creek in Capitol state forest. Hope that helps. Thanks again for coming by. Really appreciate the support.

That’s a great idea that I haven’t thought of yet! Thanks Rod Queen :) It does work pretty good, which impresses me, especially the cost. Appreciate the comment 😎 Stoney

I live in Raleigh NC and thought about trying some local creeks, but seems like it may be a waste of time

What’s up brother? Hey man thanks for stopping by and subscribing! So appreciate that and yea I could try a video just picking a spot and looking for gold… could be fun! Thanks for the idea. Also about gold in NC… don’t count that area out. I’d definitely go out there and at least try. What’s the worst that can happen… you just end up enjoying the day, but you could be surprised and find some gold. NC has gold as far as I know, and I think there are some guys here on RU-vid that just prospect specifically in NC. If you do go, remember to come back and let me know. From my experience, where’s there’s flowing water there’s a pretty good chance 😎

Also I've been wondering (it's how I found your channel).... What about an upside down cone (like a street cone) with a bubbler at the top to agitate so all the heavys go-to the point.... Then panning off the top concentrates

@@supabiscuit first off I’m loving the creativity and love the fact that you’re thinking outside the box. That’s a pretty cool idea. I have a few more things coming through the pipeline that I think you’ll enjoy. I’m definitely all about trying new things. You’re idea could work… just have to try it and put it to the test. You can always email me at stoneycreeksparkchaser@yahoo.com. with ideas or pictures to better illustrate your idea and then I can try it out. More than happy to do so

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser awesome.... Great to meet you. I'm sure I'll be piecing something together soon. I'll keep you in the loop. I'm not much for making and posting videos, but I may go that route. I've got lots of material and ideas, and material.... Just hard to test without gold, but black sand would at least give proof of concept. Again, great to meet you

It will for sure do it! I’ve always wanted to try that! Thanks for the comment and support :)

Hahaha! Allen, you are definitely not crazy! You are trying to save some money and find some gold! Good on you. Do whatever you think makes you catch gold. That’s what I do and I have luck most of the time experiment with everyday household items. Plus it’s fun! Thanks again for the support, view and comment. Much appreciated!

My man Jeff! Hey man thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it and heck yea, send whatever you got to me. I love checking stuff out. On my about section on my channel my email address is on there. Seems though on mobile it doesn’t show up but on a computer it does. My email is stoneycreeksparkchaser@yahoo.com. Thanks my friend :)

Hey thanks for coming by! Umm I’d say anywhere between 8 and 11. Relatively flat with just a slight angle is all you need! Hope this helps!

Wow that was a quick reply for a 4 month old video, thanks for the info SUBSCRIBED:)

No worries my friend! I always reply… never matters how old something is. Super easy project! Have fun my friend 😎 Appreciate the sub as well… super cool if you

What’s happening Action Faction?!?! Umm I think I just got the bottles from Amazon a while back. They are all pretty cheap and pretty much every prospecting company out there has one, but they all work the same. As for what’s in there, yup, just high quality H2O! Oh and hopefully gold once you’re done for the day! Good luck my friend and thanks for coming by. Always appreciated 😎

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser , I like your Water Boy Reference. Thanks for the tacklin’ fuel!

@@actionfaction2558 haha, thanks! True classic!

My man Mohammed coming in hot! Tempting… how about “Metric Vs. Standard Adjustable Wrench, Which is More Versatile?” Or even better yet “Which is healthier, Breathing through your Nose Vs. Mouth?” Hahaha. Thanks for poppin in my friend :) this just totally reminded me about something… I need to head over to your channel and click that notify button. I thought I did that before. I need my morning fix hearing “piss off” to get me laughing and the day rollin’ 😎

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser Glad to see you never slammed the door in my face. I just can't see why you spend time using a dustpan lid for prospecting when you have a rolls royce of a sluice. I mean surely nobody gonna go out and by a dustpan lid of they interested in gold. You make the tape worth watching , but heck , do tapes about stuff that will be useful to many people.

I’d never slam a door in your face man! I’m a big boy and value your opinion! And yea, I use my Keene and Bazooka all the time and get great results. I guess I was just trying to show people that you can really catch gold with anything. Experiment with things and most importantly have fun. I mean, you may of even learning something. I did from your video. For years and years when grabbing a sluice out of the creek I’d always grab the top first and pull up while having the bottom in a bucket. Now I do the opposite, just because you told me in one of your videos how to do it the proper way. I appreciate that my man! Didn’t lose any gold!

@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser I'll have to go watch one of your earlier tapes when you remove the sluice from the creek

@evergreen prospectors thanks my friend! Really glad you enjoyed it.

I’m in Washington state! I wish you the best of luck and thank you so much for stopping by. Let me know if you have any questions :)

I use too lives in VT, and did panning in RUTLAND,found some nice stuff there

@claytonbeauchemin8679 that’s awesome Clayton! It’s so cool seeing gold in a pan… no better sight IMO!

Hey David! Thanks for the comments and support and yes, a lot of this stuff can be overpriced. From doing this for so long, the real money is made by selling equip, and not really in finding the gold. Not to say that’s the case for everyone out there, but it is for most. It’s still fun non the less and it gets you outside! As for your Walmart suggestions… isn’t that cool? I often find myself walking through stores and thinking to my self… that could work! Lol

Say what?!?! 🤣

Yes all kinds of bugs hate the smell without spraying yourself with cemicals

@user-po2op1sn7e ok that’s what you meant! Yea I can see that and thanks for the clarification :) I thought an AI Bot was messing with me… there’s been a lot of that lately :)

Preach! Its good for some stuff, but some stuff it’s really bad :)

Appreciate that Eagle Eye! Not bad for a clean up sluice in a pinch 😎 Appreciate you!

Totally awesome of you again for the comment! Keep rockin’
