Parts are from a gas fired water heater. Still working out what to use for a liner as the water heater isn't all that thick. Flue pipe is right at 3" diameter so it will fit right through a pillow block.</p>

<p> This is going to take awhile as my budget is near nil.

I've made a 4 stage underflow sluice, and am working on a mini foundry for smelting & custom gold cube type sluice. My idea is to incorporate the underflow at all times on it, but in some of the underflow rivets, there will be the vortex mats or something more affordable. With my idea, it will require only a 800 gph pump.</div>diy drywasherhttps://www.goldprospectorsspace.com/forum/topics/diy-drywasher2015-06-03T02:32:44.000Z2015-06-03T02:32:44.000ZRuss Mccormick https://www.goldprospectorsspace.com/members/RussMccormick<div>Still working on the drawings, based on bills folding drywasher from billandlindaprospecting.com. going to be building a prototype in the next week or two, do some testing.

<p>Body:<br/> 18" : 1 1/2' PVC pipe<br/> 1 1/2" PVC slip on T-fitting<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show"><br/> 1 1/2" PVC slip on cap w/7/8 hole drilled through it on center<br/> 1" : 1 1/2" pvc Pipe <br/> 1 1/2" slip on coupler<br/> 1 1/2" PVC Check Valve<br/> 1 1/2" to 3/4" adaptor<br/> 10" of 3/4" pvc pipe</span></p>
<div class="text_exposed_show"><p>Plunger: <br/> 17" : 3/4" pvc pipe<br/> 4" : 3/4" pvc pipe<br/> 3/4" PVC slip on T-fitting<br/> 3/4" slip on to 3/4" male thread connector <br/> 1 1/2" Plumbers Test Plug</p>
<p>To Build:<br/> take 18" of 1 1/2" pvc pipe and fasten the T-fitting to one end.<br/> Fasten Check valve into other side of T-fitting.<br/> insert 1 1/2"to 3/4"adaptor into check valve.<br/> add 10" of 3/4" pvc pipe to adaptor<br/> insert 1" of 1 1/2" pvc pipe into offside of T-fitting then add a 1 1/2" coupler<br/> (for your hose to attach to) <br/> Body is now finished...</p>
<p>Plunger take the 17" of 3/4" PVC pipe add the T-fitting to one end<br/> add the 4" of 3/4" pvc into one side of T to make your handle<br/> slide the 1 1/2" cap with the 7/8Z" hole through it up over the 17" length with the closed side of the cap towards the handle<br/> Now The Fun Part lol<br/> dismantle the Plumbers Test Plug. <br/> Place the bolt through the 3/4" slip on end of the small connector so it sticks out through the center of the threaded end<br/> place the rubber section of the test plug on the bolt<br/> place a flat washer over the bolt and replace wingnut<br/> you will need to replace the big flat washer of the test plug with a smaller sized one so it will fit properly through the 1 1/2" pipe without catching/binding<br/> as you tighten the wingnut down you will be able to work the rubber piece down over the threads of the connector making it have a solid fitting with next to no chance of ever leaking<br/> slide connector onto bottom of plunger pipe and it's done</p>
<p>before tightening the plunger down to much make sure it fits nice and snug into the 1 1/2" pipe but not to the point where you have to put excessive pressure on it to make it slide<br/> slide it all the way into the suckers body and place 1 1/2" cap firmly in place</p>
<p>for a hose I stole the hose from my Shop Vac which fit perfectly into the 1 1/2" coupler... then duct taped the heck outta it to hold it <br/> the other end of the hose is your choice on how you want to connect to the bucket/container it will be feeding to...</p>

<p></p>
<p>It works in slack water where a Sluice box won't</p>
<p></p>
<p>To use it you adjust the legs to touch the bottom and the bottom of the box to be level with the top of the water. Then add your dirt and gravels. Rock it back and forth allowing water to enter one side and flow back out the other side washing the material. After enough rocks to wash the gravels well you rake out the big rocks and and more material.</p><p class="attachment"><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10495716474?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RiverRockerBox.pdf</a></p><p class="attachment"><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10495716298?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JSRockBoxPlans.pdf</a></p></div>AM "Recon" as a clean up sluice.....https://www.goldprospectorsspace.com/forum/topics/am-recon-as-a-clean-up-sluice2013-04-11T20:00:23.000Z2013-04-11T20:00:23.000ZJames Giacalonehttps://www.goldprospectorsspace.com/members/JamesGiacalone<div><p>I saw this set -up on another site and changed a couple things to fit my needs and here it is. I am using a 800GPH bilge right now but think I am going to step it up to a 1200GPH for a little more flow.The blue foam that is sealing the flare into the trash can is cut from a pool noodle and works really great!It had only one small drip that wasn't even enough to warrant a bucket to catch it.I know the garage floor looks soaked but that is from me be excited and in a hurry and when I said "OK" my son turned on the hose,I wasn't ready but the water flowed anyway!LOL! The last pic if this downloads right is a video of it working(with to much jetdry....once again....I was excited!!!) so if anyone could give me feedback on how flow looks and if I am correct in needing a little more I would really appreciate it! I got this idea from ajpops on Eastern Prospectors site.....</p>

<p> I've had this Keene RC1 rock crusher for ten years or so but did'ent get to use it</p>
<p> as much as I would have liked due to it's weight ( 80 # ) and it's bulk.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> In June of this year I bought a nice 95 Jeep Wrangler and after a lot of thinking</p>
<p> and close looking I figured out a way to mount it with the RC1 so I could get more</p>
<p> use out of it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I like to prospect with a Geochemical Meter and it requires that rock samples be</p>
<p> ground to _80 mesh. With the RC1 that is no problem, two passes and the job is done.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Now I can stop anywhere I want to check and in minutes I can have a sample ready</p>
<p> to test. So no more lost information of where and when the sample came from and</p>
<p> if I want to check more I can. And no more piles of rocks at home I don't remember</p>
<p> where or why I picked up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I'am going to have the springs beefed up to be on the safe side. The RC1 is restrained</p>
<p> from any movement and when not in use it can be lifted off and the mount base unbolted</p>
<p> and put up till needed.<a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2866589207?profile=original">rock%20crusher%202%20004.jpg</a><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2866589216?profile=original">rock%20crusher%20006.jpg</a><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2866589332?profile=original">rock%20crusher%202%20005.jpg</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p> By slacking off the eye bolts first then taking up most of the slack and then tightning</p>
<p> the eye bolts back up it tightens the lockdown cable just as snug as I want.</p>
<p> On the road I plan on useing a safety chain ( not shown ) to a eye bolt between it and the grill</p>
<p> that will be secured to the front crossmember . This chain will be more for securty at motels</p>
<p> that anything else, also have to make a rain/road dirt cover for it. May be able to use a cover</p>
<p> for a Webber Bar-B-Que or smoker. Still have to check on this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Having this mounted on the front will ( I hope ) help with traction when the Jeep is loaded</p>
<p> for a trip because it's ass end heavy ( kind of like some of my old girl frends ) and of more</p>
<p> use I may say!</p></div>Recirculating Sluicehttps://www.goldprospectorsspace.com/forum/topics/recirculating-sluice2011-12-31T16:18:37.000Z2011-12-31T16:18:37.000ZRobert Bertaut Srhttps://www.goldprospectorsspace.com/members/RobertBertautSr<div><p>I posted my Recirculating Sluice on my website:</p>

I know i`ll have to seperate the pump add a pully and make a bracket to mount the pump add a shaft to run the pump, simple right.</p>

<p>the concentrators have a 30 psi compressor. other normaly closed 12V valves, relays, etc.</p>
<p>My 1st. theory "replace vale with Normally closed electronic valve, with quick disconnect hose, attach to crevice tool in place of using hand pump action and install trigger for electronic valve. only concern the rapid depletion of the vacuum from the tank, how quick would that be.</p>
<p>2nd. theory, fill with water, pressurize and and build a mini dredge nozzle</p>
<p></p>
<p>Each tank weighes 9 lbs each, all aluminum, about 26 inches tall 4.25 inches in diam. with a 200 psi ratting.</p>
<p>Any one else have any suggestions as to a new use of these tanks, would they float if pressurized to say 150 175lbs?

<p>I wrote directions to build an inexpensive, compact, and light weight hand trommel. It is designed to classify quantity material for your dry-washer, high-banker, sluice, pan, and can also be used in garden composting and worm harvesting. The cost of construction is around $50 using new parts from your local hardware.</p>
