BLUE BOWL RENOVATIONS

Posted by ROY B ( BOURNE2HUNT ) on March 11, 2011 at 6:01pm in DIY plans
I HAVE RENOVATED MY BLUE BOWL SET UP ,THE BIGGEST THING IS IT IS FED UNDER WATER SO THERE IS NO FLOATERS OR SURFERS, I ADDED A 2' SECTION OF POOP TUBE CONCENTRATOR PIPE AND THE PRICE WAS MINIMAL , MOST ITEMS I HAD LAYING AROUND ,IT WORKS GREAT , I MAY ADD A SMALL VIBRATOR TO THE FEED TO TRY IT , I WILL UPDATE WITH A ITEMIZED LIST OF MATERIALS AND PRICES

    That was ingenious, Roy! I really like the catch bucket in the return bucket. I don't see how any fines can get that far though, with your system! Pure genius! I wish I had the skill to throw something together and make it work for me. It always amazes me when someone comes up with an idea like yours! Great job, you inspire us all! Thanks for sharing.

    THIS IS MY NEW BLUE BOWL RENOVATIONS ( GOLD FLUSHER #2 ) NAMED BY OILSWELL, NOT A GOLD LAB WANT A BE , I HAVE FAR SURPASSED THAT IMHO ,I HAVE ADDED 3 GATE VALVES AND 3 BALL VALVES 1 EACH FOR -30, -50, -100 RECOMMENDED SIEVES BY BLUE BOWL ,SET THE GATE VALVES ONCE, THEN USE THE BALL VALVES ON AND OFF ( SET IT AND FORGET IT ),
    THE UNDER CURRENT IS THE WAY TO GO , THE GOLD STARTS OFF ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BOWL, NOT DROPPED INTO THE CURRENT AND SWEPT AWAY BEFORE ITS HAD A CHANCE
    I HAVE ADDED 2 CONCENTRATOR SLUICES , 1 WITH FINE RIBBED RUBBER MAT TO SHOW ANY EX CAPPING GOLD AND 1 WITH THE VORTEX MAT TO USE TO CONCENTRATE AT ANY POINT OF THE PROSES , BOTH HAVE DAMPERS TO KNOCK DOWN AND SPREAD OUT THE CONS EVENLY
    THE FEEDER HAS A DRIPPER AND VIBRATOR AND 3  SIZES OF FEEDER ADAPTERS
    EACH LEG IS ADJUSTABLE , SO YOU CAN LEVEL IT PRECISELY ON ROUGH GROUND
    I JUST BOUGHT SOME CONS FROM SNOWDOG20 AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GOLD IS IN THEM OTHER THAN THEY ARE MICRO GOLD ,SO THESE SHOULD BE A GOOD TEST AND WHEN THEY SHOW UP THIS WEEK I WILL PROSES THEM AND POST MY FINDINGS ON BOTH HIS CONS AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE GOLD FLUSHER

      I DIDN'T ADD IT UP YET BECAUSE MOST OF IT I HAD LAYING AROUND ,2OLD MILK CRATES , CHUNK OF POOP TUBE, AND THE FRIDGE ICE MAKER TUBING, ALL I HAD TO BUY WAS 3VALVES $15, AND  3 -5' LENGTHS OF PVC PIPE, THAT CONS I USED TO TEST IT WITH WAS 1LB THAT I ALREADY HAD PANNED AND  TOOK OUT WHAT COULD, THAN I SIEVED IT TO -50 AND THAT WAS ABOUT 2TABLE SPOONS OF -50 NOT TO SHABBY ,I LET IT RUN TO SEE WHAT MADE IT TO THE SLUICE ,NOT A SPECK ,I THINK THAT FEEDING IT FROM UNDER THE WATER IS THE TICKET
