I like what you did. I have made one too, my own feat of engineering to say the least. I have a custom made sluice sluice from a man in Ohio. I used an old metal pan sifter from my trapline as a grizzly, added a slick plate, and bolted it to the head of the sluicebox. Spray bar is 3/4" pvc. I have to go upto a 1250 gph pump to get the right water volume. I have a short film on a disc I will upload at a later date. Everything breaks down and fits in a plastic bin similar to yours. I use a 30 mesh Jobe classifier in a small bucket (with holes) to catch tailings as they exit the sluice and that keeps the sludge out of my pump. I pan out the materials in the classifier to catch what the sluice did'nt. The addage should read " Prospectors are the mothers of all inventions"..
Yes!!! Great Job!! I will watch for your film!
I too use my stream sluice as a recirculator heres my set up the blue barrells are FREE my favorite word next to GOLD !!!
Howard: are you using your 800gph recurculating pump on this set up? You sure use a lot of ingenuity in your projects. Ted
No I've got a 1200 gph bilge pump I run this one with 800 wsn't quite enough , 1200 just about right if you classifie at 1/4 inch.
I am sorry to ask such a dumb question. But hay I am a newbie. How long will that battery last? I know it depends on the pump but you must not have to large of a pump. This has inspired me to maybe make something of my own. Lots to learn and not long before summer. Thank you for your time.
Hi, Maurice, I am going to use an automotive battery in the field. I used that one because I had it!
