Ureka! You have done it again John. Great gold recovery! I love using my GOLDROP and recovering gold that is virtually impossible to get by any other means. Maybe a GOLDROP team up in Nome. One could call em the Beach Boys. ⛱️
Thanks Steve, I appreciate your input! It's good to have an endorsment from a Goldrop owner. Your mining operation extracting glacial gold from the glacial till on your property in Maine is truly amazing to me and a testament to Goldrop's abilities.
Wow John, it just gets better and better. With that kind of recovery, it would be worth a trip up there. Here in Utah, we have a lot of gold in the gravel pits which is used in construction, roads etc. so with all that loose sand flying around, we are finding gold in the gutters, large parking lots, gravel on the sides of roads, etc. the gold is usually in the very small range. I would love to see how your unit works on that type of material. ,
That bag of sand is not typical of Nome beach sand. You may find that in isolated hot spots after storms but in no way is that average gold in Nome sand.
The vertical flow of the elutriation water is set at different rates of flow to suspend matter of different size and density depending on the what is being observed in the drop tube. As the vertical flow of water is reduced allows the dense matter in the trap to descend down the drop tube influenced by the reduction of water flow.
Very nice refinement to an already amazing system. Does the vortex spinner addition decrease processing time or is it just more efficient for separation?

@@jimstark1810 I have no idea the location where it was scooped up from. Bad weather experienced this last season may have washed up more gold.
My physics brain is somewhat stymied… at what point does the H2O become super-saturated with material and begin to drop down through the gold tube?
The vertical flow of the elutriation water is set at different rates of flow to suspend matter of different size and density depending on the what is being observed in the drop tube. As the vertical flow of water is reduced allows the dense matter in the trap to descend down the drop tube influenced by the reduction of water flow.
That is why there are fine adjustments to water flows to allow proper separation.

Yes, it increases the feed rate of material added as well and efficiency to extract smaller gold.
Nice
Can I buy a gold drop from the uk?? Shipping cost
Yes John I can! Email me at info@sluicegooseindustries.com with your address so I can get a quote to ship it to you.
