Great video! Sometimes while I’m sucking up small gold when I squeeze the snuffer for the next round, a good bit of gold comes back out the straw and now I know why!
If you use a large diameter straw, take 2 needles and punch them through the straw in a cross nearest the tip and clip the leftovers. This will keep large rocks from being sucked up to clog the straw. This trick will only work with small flakes and not larger pickers and nuggets
Thanks Chris that's useful. One advantage of prospecting here in England is that there is so little gold I haven't needed to use my snuffer bottle yet! Ha Ha. :o)
The timing on this video is funny as I was just using two snuffers to clean up fine concentrates in pans. Word from someone who has done this a lot. Do one pass to collect all the gold in the snuffer you can. Put concentrates aside for miller table. Then put that snuffer back in the clean pan, swirl the black sand to the middle, then snuffer that fine black sand out. You can get really clean gold for the vile this way. Some of my gold is so fine that it can get into the threads of my snuffer. Watch out for this.
I think Chris needs to develop a automatic snuffer bottle so with rhe press of button yum yum yum gold is sucked up. Hopefully another Vo-Gus original made from random bits and pieces. Love the video's keep on inspiring people.
Hey *Chris* : great explanation🙂👍🏼 - look forward to maybe part 2 of this, which could cover how far in to have the tube, and how/why to be confident that no gold is getting expelled from it when it's in use all day.
I know it's a little big, but a Gatorade sport bottle (green and orange) and stick a straw into the valve at the top. Strong suction and plenty of volume. Ready to see with the Orange lid.😊
Great advice Chris... after watching your video on how to make my own. I got a couple of clear condiment/sauce bottles from a bargain store. I got to use it resently and I was so happy with my efforts.... keep up your amazing and knowledgeable content 👍🏻
Chris in you opening statement you implied that you will run over your snuffer bottle 😂 I'm not so sure this is the Wright thing to tell beginners to do lol
I'm not going to lie I have just ussumed I was some kind of special case and that it was my own unique level of uncoordination that stopped me from beiable to use a snuffer properly
Great question I wondered the same thing when I first started prospecting. The old timers didn’t use snuffer bottles… 1. because back then the gold was in large pieces and 2. because for fine gold they used Mercury to amalgamate it and then retort the Mercury out leaving the gold.
It’s used whenever your gold is really small because small gold will float on top of the water if you don’t use it to break the surface tension of the water

Thank you :) when I started I never thought the hardest part would be figuring out how to use the snuffers bottle but it was lol
10;25 PM in Oklahoma...Thank you.

I have used condiment containers which tend to work very well for larger snuffer bottles.
Thank you. I could use my snuffer bottle but not well. This helped immensely.
A few ideas I hadn't thought of. Thanks
Tips like this one is Gold ! I will Start prospecting soon. Pan is here 😊
Nice info fam. Keep at it. Gold Squad Out 🤠

I did this exact thing but to change out the brake fluid on my old work truck worked fantastically and definitely had a ton of suction 👍
I wonder if you could adapt a Critter Water Bottle from a pet store.
They typically have a one-way check valve that might be interesting to use.
Thanks for sharing Chris. Cheers
Simply great advice 👍🏻😀

This is very useful information for new gold hunters. Thank you for sharing this, everyone.
Awesome video! Before I got one from Klesh I used a camping condiment bottel like for ketchup or mustard bottle
Good lesson on an important bit of kit 😁👍
Thank you. You are good at this. And you share.
Good tips, thank you.
Thanks Chris
Thanks Chris very helpful as always 👌
Happy to help!
Hey Chris...2 Ns, 1g. 🥰🤗 great video!
I feel like stainless steel straws would work well for this as well
Nice tutorial
Lmao, snuffer bottles remind me of that one stitches song...
I just slurp it up. 😂👍🏴⚒️
Chris in you opening statement you implied that you will run over your snuffer bottle 😂 I'm not so sure this is the Wright thing to tell beginners to do lol
It's like snorting, only squishy !
❤
thanks, i will try it, my snuffer skills are ridiculously bad
I'm not going to lie I have just ussumed I was some kind of special case and that it was my own unique level of uncoordination that stopped me from beiable to use a snuffer properly
I am buying a stumpy picks rock crusher I would love to see a review on that
If it’s the grinder powered one he did that already on one of his channels
Prior to plastic bottles, what have the old timers used as snuffer bottles?

Thanks for the tips. Can you explain were using dishwasher i.e Jetdry is used?
It’s used whenever your gold is really small because small gold will float on top of the water if you don’t use it to break the surface tension of the water
Bro you may as well show us how to use Tissues
Ketchup and mustard
Those work real well too!
How dose the gold stay in the bottle and not come back out this is what I don’t understand
His name is GOBBLE GUTS!
The beard and hair were rocking today. Lol how many snuffer bottles have you lost over the years?
And how many rats you got up in that bacon grease nest?
Well nowadays it's hard to find a straw especially in the u s
What state are you in plenty of straws in Az….
Alfresco bottle ha
Hobby shops
You can't buy plastic straws anymore 😂😂
This video sucks gold😅
