Hi Brian. I Love gravity dredging. We found that it is best to remove the nozzle and let the line breathe from time to time to maximize the flow rate and let it clear the box. Also we used a crash box on our sluice instead of a flare. It's works great with 4 ft min of fall. The problem with gravity is when a rock gets on the end of the nozzle it slows the flow way down. You can't hog material, you have to sip it. Name of the game is to keep max flow at all times with the occasional let her run free time. Love watching your videos. Wish you all the best.
Perfect timing. I was revisiting your zip line video this morning (I’m in the process of setting up a variation on that), and I thought you were about to do another one. 😂 that is, until I saw you wheel the hose down the embankment. 😂. Great stuff, Bryan. Thanks for continuing to put these videos together.
Oh Heavypans right there Bryan, I’ve seen those RPE sluices running full river speed just dumping buckets and fetching super fine flour gold, it can handle the water you got going 100% 🤙🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wicked! I spent a few days at coos campground 2 weeks ago. Crazy how much the river has changed this year. I wanted to go check out the spot i showed you on lidar but all the logging roads were closed due to washouts. Great vid.....leave me some gold!
Awesome idea if ya got a small waterfall.. the highbanker would work great!! I just built one out of an antique small enamel tub.. has a 4" inlet so I could use the dredge motor.. I bet that would've worked great!! Awesome vid Brotha
Hey Bryan, I suggest increasing the angle of the sluice to allow rocks to flow out. Gushing water over the box will blow out the gold. Your rifles will easily handle a 10-degree pitch. My Gold Rattler operates at 12 degrees and far less water. Give it a try ? 👍 Also, if can get a hold of some punch plate, it will make more slick than that metal grating.
Great video bro, I really appreciate it because I’ve been thinking about setting up a gravity dredge for a long while. After watching numerous videos, most of them encounter a lot of problems. I think in the ideal situation it could work but rally have to have the perfect spot and enough hose, nice gold!
Perhaps some gold collected in the ribs of the flex pipe or you could line the pipe with miners moss. Wonder how yo could check it out. Might end up being the mother of all sluices. It`s very entertaining watching videos of people going out hunting for gold. I want some too.
@@Fdeubcfhbbjhfd perhaps turn the pipe inside out and try it and see what happens? Could use some of the flexible corrugated plastic drainage/agriculture pipe. I think some of it comes with a split down the middle so you could pry it open for a peek.
Curious if you set it back together and had that bigger sluice at a steeper angle but under water. Have the water in the rapids over the sides completely see if that works. Smaller sluice is the easy answer.

Smooth pipe also works best for gravity feed.
Great advice ime
Would using 4in pipe as the supply, but necked down to supply pressure to a 3in suction nozzle or even a 2in be better or make no difference at all?
@@El-Diablo-Blanconecked down would increase the pressure Dow stream, but would clog quickly.
Good info, thanks!
Looked like a blast! Liked the way you hear that picker in the bottom of the pan⛏️⛏️👍
Smart Idea 💡 with the green mini in your regular box to get rid of those rocks!
I used what I had. Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful!
Hi Bryan, GTSY! Eco-dredging. It is environmentally friendly and economical. It's smart and quiet. All around, it's a winner. WTG! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Bryan, that is some pretty gold. So yellow and beautiful. Gotta get more of that!
Thanks for watching!
Ah so your alive and well am glad we need more content of dreding bud
Thanks for watching!
Oooo welcome back! Excited to watch this!
Thanks!
Still doing the rolling thunder down hills🤠👌🇵🇷
Thanks for watching!

It did capture gold, even at the high flow rate.
Another good video Bryan, I always look forward to seeing that notification about your latest adventures.
Thanks for watching!
glad to see you are still kicking ass brother!
Thanks for watching!
New stuff. Thanks Bryan
Thanks for watching!
Good to see video miss your videos
Thanks for watching!
GLAD YOUR STILL ALIVE BRO!!! GETTING WORRIED!
Just been busy
Another great video Bryan!
Thanks!

When I get back maybe we can get to it with my ATV and dirt bike!
That looks like fun Bryan, great job as always. Nice lookin gold.
Thanks 👍
Man you can tell how much fun you are having messing with different configurations. Good stuff!
Thanks!
Love the idea !! Just Sluice It !!
Thanks for watching!
@@AmericanGoldProspectors a 2 piece would be nice

Cool idea!
Awsome stuff brother smaller box would work perfectly
For sure!
Heck yeah! Nice job!
Rock on!
Heck yeah you got out and got some yella. 🤙🇺🇸
Oh ya!
that's incredible, Brian👀😆👀Git Dat Goooold Brother 🦾🇺🇸👌😎
Thanks for watching!
Let it be known I am 2nd comment, here in under five minutes and 9th like 😂😂 Let’s Go Bryan! I need more paydirt lol😂
Thanks for watching!
Gold

I tried and it didn't work. Thanks for watching!

For sure!
I think the full length punch plate is your issue! Maybe just try having it over the first top carpet section then after that just riffels and moss?
Maybe, Thanks for watching!
Sweet!
Thanks!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!🎉🎉🎉
You too!

I’d be stunned if the majority of gold was not in that pipe.
@@deaninchina01the inside of tge pipe is smooth, the outside is ribbed
@@Fdeubcfhbbjhfd perhaps turn the pipe inside out and try it and see what happens?
Could use some of the flexible corrugated plastic drainage/agriculture pipe. I think some of it comes with a split down the middle so you could pry it open for a peek.
The inside of the hose is smooth.
You need to set the box up so yr still getting river current aswell and dam it up as you do that will add to the syphon
That would help for sure!
Reduce the size of the pipe start with a 4 inch at the box then go to 3inch and a 2 inch with a 2inch nozzle
😂
@@Fdeubcfhbbjhfd and u won't need to classify to clear the box
@@Fdeubcfhbbjhfd and u need about a quarter mile off pipe
2 inch wouldn't move enough material for me. 4 inch is the smallest I'll use.
Curious if you set it back together and had that bigger sluice at a steeper angle but under water. Have the water in the rapids over the sides completely see if that works. Smaller sluice is the easy answer.
I'm just going to try with a smaller box next time.
Did you find any more gold in the riffles of the corrugated hose or does it clean itself out pretty well?
Its smooth on the inside.
Would adding a flare on intake help?
I imagine if you used a box flare and could mount a smaller pipe in front to “ dump “ the workings into it- that would add flow AND prevent clogs!
I think a crash box would work better.
What area is this set up? Nice rock. No fumes or noise.
New Hampshire
Isn't it bering sea time? Summer?
This was filmed early spring. He mentions it
4" PVC for couplers?
Not sure if that would work.
he sounds like charlie day, but doesnt look like him at all!
Haha, Thanks for watching!
that sucks
For sure!
