    If you were on the streak, theoretically a team of two could pull two oz in the same time in one hard day. Especially if you set up the day before.
    (Side note) A Hudson sprayer would be great for easily cleaning out your trommel box.

    @MrDutchman100 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your spray bar was shooting downward I spray the pile off to the side at 8:00 o’clock washing the rocks that flow to the side of the tumbling drum, this cleans the rocks fully. Also I bring black plastic, I dig a big hole hold the dirt to the side and line the hole with the black plastic making a larger then the little tub you were using this way a sandal drop to the bottom of the hole lined with the plastic and filled with water. Your water will run cleaner and then this won’t fill up your grooves in your gold cube allowing more gold to stick instead of flow out, gold cube product really works good I use it on the beach sands here in Washington state up by the Strait of Juan de Fuca. I pull an ounce and a half a day I hope you find a Lotta gold good luck.

    So the high banker/gold cube and other sluice devices require a moving water source and a rippled obstacle to catch heavy gold. This requires a device, attendance and a water source. So my question is simply can a structure be built to naturally and efficiently do the same?" You have a 24/7 water source that moves across naturally occurring land. Is it possible to do that artificially and efficiently with a passive device?

      I don't think that's much of an issue since its just the golds weight causing the dropout. Notice in the tub most of the *really* heavy stuff drops to the bottom and his pump is near the top ensuring the water stays relatively clean.

    This is a very useful video. Did you replace your high banker with the gold cube trommel? I have a GC but was manually classifying. The trommel is revolutionary as far as materials processed but a high banker is lower cost? Did you notice a major performance difference? With manual classification I am seriously thinking rocker box might out perform it because of it's classifier and no battery. Trommel is heavy

    My spot My digging My Machinery. You forgot My GOLD 🙊 Good job Dan. Still proves my theory that hard 8 hr days one the Fraser should net a decent wage. Of coarse it's the "Hard" is the part that puts off most people. Still there is nothing like knowing.....😉 Ya, ya gotta do it to get it. Keep them coming Dam.

    That is some pretty awesome gold. If I had that piece of ground you would have to drag me out of there.
    Just curious, how does the gold cube work with water that muddy? The water had to be as thick as a milkshake. Shoveling non stop for an hour your tote had to be almost completely full of dirt and the pump had to be sucking silt like crazy. Did you keep changing out the water every now and then?

    • @Danhurd
      @Danhurd  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I shoveled out the tailings out of the bin every once in awhile. The gold cube still works fine with muddy water and I didn't change the water once in the hour run

    is this your sluice of choice? Thinking of getting one. Any other suggestions? One that is potentially easy to set up and run would be nice. This one seems kinda tricky to transport unless theirs a road nearby.

    So you get the water from the river to circulate the water flow for sluice testing the rivers banks, the water can't go back into the river. That's a special kind of stupid and also do you have to take the water with you? As always love the content keep it up.

    What determines the shape of gold you find? Most of the Fraser stuff you've shown; is a flat coin style of gold... Is it the shape of the rocks it's bouncing around?

    • @Danhurd
      @Danhurd  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mostly to do with the river it is found in and how far its traveled.

    Thank You, Dan, for your exceptional teaching of our gold Heritage and rights as free citizens. Sorry but not a good test, material to large for trommel not getting material washed good enough. And to make a determination of how much gold can you get in an hour. It is always gonna be gold is where you find it. It's not the equipment that gets the gold. Gold is like Real Estate Location, location, location, Idaho Gold Miner, Mad Mountain Mike
