@@TerrasTreasure Wow I guess I didn’t have my email in my description but I just added it there. It’s toothpickmining@gmail.com. I actually emailed you from my other email saying ill endorse you haha and that I could tell you have a passion for rocks. I like to help out other channels when I can, especially in livestreams, so no problem at all :)

@@mandybrown7758 Ah yeah, this was in my earlier years before I had a sellable product. This design still has some potential that I will explore more when I begin to have free time again :)

I thought about providing the STL files but I spent so much time developing and redefining the design to create a product that I could start a business with, I am afraid of selling the STL and then having it shared for free. Although I do understand most of my customers are older and dont have 3d printers so it is definitely something I think about doing but I have some concerns to address first. I know about removing the black sands but I like to test each run without removing them to see how it does (as well with panning to challenge myself) and in some cases like in Australia, not all black sands are magnetite. From all the testing though, it seems like the black sands help to recover gold, which I know seems completely opposite from most other devices but it really does seem to help, or at least doesn’t affect the recovery rate unless you run 4 gallons or more of material. That depends on the material of course but nonetheless black sands dont usually seem to affect the recovery rate. Id be willing to do a trial type run with selling the STLs if you are up for that. No promises as there is a lot to figure out about that but I am willing to talk more about it if you are interested, email me at toothpickmining@gmail.com.

@@FrankBlackcrow Oh yeah, right now its PETG filament bought in rolls but that is the plan one day to recycle old bottles to turn into my own filament and then print my products from there

@@shineyrocks390 Thank you sir, I am working on a video running 8 pounds of crushed ore from Alaska. The velvet turbulent flow of material in the tailings container always amazes me. The bigger one still needs some work but I will be getting back to work on that pretty soon.

Gezz a I forgot to respond, I apologize. Im not sure what you mean with final production run. If you are talking about the amount of material it can run, then it should be able to run for hours and maybe 120 pounds of concentrates before it starts losing gold. However it still needs some more work to retain the fine gold. This is based off of the smaller version which works great but scaling it up seems to have some challenges so far.

@@Ltn.Immelmann Yes sir, just a larger version so I’m not completely starting from scratch but there is still a lot of work and testing to be done :)

@@shineyrocks390 I had to do some research on that and yeah surprisingly it is kind of similar. I couldn’t find any good videos of it working or a cross section of the design but it seems like this device would work as a sediment bulb if it was made of the right material for gas. That is interesting though, thank you for making that comparison, I might have to try that out one day just to see what happens.

@@shineyrocks390 Yeah this stuff was crazy to work with, I had to use that shaker bottle to even be able to feed the material. And once I went to clean the tailings container this stuff was pretty much harden concrete, I had to use a metal spoon to scrap it out of the bottom of the container.

I do use jet dry with just about every run. This would definitely work for beach sands, it might be slow for all day use but I am working on a slightly scaled up version that I ran about 60 pounds of cons in 30 minutes. The last video I uploaded shows that one. I am hoping this larger version will be good for beach sands or high volumes of crushed ore. The material has to be classified to -1/8th inch material, other than that it seems like it would be good for the beach. It should be as fast or slightly slower than existing products on the market right now but with this you should be able to fill up a 2 or 5 gallon bucket hopper full of dirt and walk away while it processes the material by itself so you dont have to constantly hand feed it. There is a ton of fine gold everywhere and with the right equipment it should end up being easier to get than the bigger stuff, thats just a guess a this point. And yeah you should be able to use it in most places. I live in California and we have the same laws but I think you can use it as long as it’s like 50 feet from a water source and you recirculate the water. Send me an email to toothpickmining@gmail.com, I can send you a prototype of the larger version to play around with. I’ll just charge the $18 shipping fee. It will be several weeks before I finalize that design but so far it seems like it will be useful in certain situations.

Thank you, yeah it still needs a lot of work but it seems like a would be a good device for field work when using - 1/8th material

Yes Sir you keep doing the same and keep up the good work, “Strong emoji” haha I’m not always sure how to do those emoji’s like yall do.

Thank you for the comment, there is still a lot of work to do on this model. It handles 1/8th inch mesh pretty good but only time will tell if it is practical for that mesh size. However, at this point I do believe it would be great for handling large amounts of crushed ore.

مرحبا بك يا عزيزي من فضلك من اين نحصل على هذا الفلتر لو سمحت الرد ازا تكرمت

Hey Teo, yes sir, I have ran 11.3 kilos and it did a good job. I thought I made a video to share with you but I guess not. It will take an hour or less and you will probably get around 95% recovery in the first run. After the first 20 minutes or so the feed rate will slow down but as long as there is material coming out of the discharge tube then it is still processing. Another TH-camr ran his 5 gallon bucket of cons and was impressed so yeah it will run as long as there is dirt coming out of the discharge tube.

Thank you Sir, I am getting back into the swing of things and have some things to make new videos with :)

I apologize for the late reply but yeah that is one way for sure, the height of the discharge tube plays a role in that as well and also there are USB motor controllers that others and me have been using to control the flow.

@@toothpickmining I did see the USBs in your other videos. Your setup is epic.

@@activityaccounts5975 Thank you very much, it came from 6 years of trial and error trying dozens and dozens of ideas. So it definitely didn’t happen over night or anything.

Thank you, there is more to come :) it takes a lot time but step by step I am making progress.

I will let you know, hopefully sometime next week but I am trying to catch up on some stuff in the meantime

Im not sure if you have emailed me yet but if not please do at toothpickmining@gmail.com, I might be able to get some out soon. Its easier for me remember who is waiting with those who email me but thank you for your interest and please send an email if you haven’t done so yet.

Thank you Julie, now I just need to work on making my videos more engaging haha. Im still trying to get comfortable with this video making stuff.

Thank you Sir, it has been a minute but there is plenty more to come :)

Yes sir stay up and stay with it :) gold squad out….

Yes sir, send me an email and I will get some stuff over to you. I have ordered some gold ore from a mine in Alaska and they said they will roast it for me so I will be able to do a proper test then. I am pretty confident I am going in the right direction and should know for sure once I run the roasted ore when it arrives.

Not yet, it’s all sulfides so it’s hard to see the difference in a pan but the vibration definitely helps. Even with the material compacted on the bottom I see it all move a little when I turn the vibe on.

I do plan on making bigger ones but it’s best to start small and figure out all the little details before going bigger. This setup can do 4 gallons in little over an hour though so, it can handle more than it seems like it could.

Um ok, thank you for letting me know lol

Awesome things created by awesome people, I have spoken with Pete and Leon almost everyday for many many months and they are working hard developing their own ideas, Including this one :)

It is pretty cool huh? One of my customers started with this idea a few months ago and has been collaborating with another customer to come up with this beauty. The loose rings hold a vibrator that settles the gold deeper in the traps, and yes that kind of vib lol I will be doing a video explaining it in more detail hopefully soon.

@@toothpickmining wondering if this could be setup to separate, gold, silver, and PGEs individually with one run. Adjust flow in each to ideal deposition for the given densities.

@@JCombe Between the 3 of us “Pete, Leon and myself” I am sure we could figure it out. It may take some revisiting of my older work but yes this kind of approach gives you so many more options. I am not one to promote myself so I say this as a community that could create more than one mind could conceive. A teaser to the group we are creating….. :)

Thank you Julie happy late birthday as well, I didn’t know until my son said it was Julie’s birthday yesterday haha

Eh kind of, he is still working on it but good eye and thank you for being my 500th subscriber :)

Thank you for the comment sir 😃

Ah it happens man, dont worry about it, just dont let it happen again hahaha just kidding, keep doing what you do brother

yes sir it can be too calming at times when I need to make progress haha Chase them dreams brother and get that simcade up and running, that is a legit idea

Gezz another late reply haha. The way these parts are designed I dont think it will be as effective in the second trap for the talcum powder size material and anything larger might get stuck in between the acrylic tubes. There is still a lot for me to discover about this stuff brother, even if I am the creator, I am still learning more and more about this kind of system.

At this point I have heard many comments like that and it never gets old. I am grateful that I still get them so thank you for that from the bottom of my heart. I recommend a USB water pump, the one I used to make it has 180 l/h flow rate. It has a good flow rate and has a more plug and play ease of use type operation. You wont see the material dancing around as much but oddly enough it seems to have a higher recovery rate :).

That is funny, this specific video was mainly for my customers. TH-cam algorithms get crazy haha. Have you searched for gold prospecting stuff before? I am just curious if it is pumping this out to people who don’t search for this kind of stuff.

Yes Sir, thank you for your support and for constantly supporting this amazing community I have come to love :) Gold Squad Out all day everyday.

You are always welcome! Thank you for the comment.

No, No Mam, Thank you :) Happy new year!!!

Yes Sir, it is a neat one but still needs some testing before it is ToothPickMining worthy to sell haha. It should be good for talcum powder size material but as always, more testing is needed.

I haven’t tested with that size yet but I do have a customer in Australia that has been working with crushed quartz and is getting similar results. I send some extra parts with the systems that should help with that size mesh of material but I haven’t talked about it much yet until I can properly test it. However it should work the same no matter the size as long as its all classified within a certain range. Anything smaller than 100 mesh probably needs like 80 l/h or less of water flow rate. I designed the system to run with a usb water pump that is 180 l/h and there is usb motor controllers available that should reduce the flow rate for powder size material.

I have messed with some cyclone ideas before but never wanted to do stuff that people already tried so I tried a few of my own ideas a couple of years ago, with some success. I will definitely revisit that kind of system though eventually. And yeah this all should scale up, I have several plans when I can find the time to work on them. Thank you for your comment though, I enjoy hearing other people’s creative ideas and everything.

I have thought of ways to separate magnetite before the traps in my older designs but haven’t tested those ideas to much yet. I will hopefully be getting back to that idea soon but this current system doesn’t seem to be to affected by black sands and if anything, seems to help with gold recovery.

Thank you sir, it still needs a lot of work to get it done but it should have its advantages once complete :) I have so many ideas for it and cant wait to get back to working on it.
