Its a great add holes every 2 inches on side of bucket open each hole starting from the top down that way your always from the top of centrifuge. Dont know how to incorporate that into bucket.
Hey bro since I a po boy everyday before I bought a Keen 52 sluce box I'd keep a 5 gallon bucket full of water and classify shovels of material through it and drain off the water when you have about a have pal and then pan your pay
Will you do a video on how to do a poor man’s rock crusher I got huge rocks with gold in them like 4” rock. So pestal mortar don’t work breaking them down just shoots pieces all over the place
Jeff You’re the only guy that doesn’t drive me 🤬 nuts by talking about 2000 things that mean nothing. To the point amazing info and hilarious to watch you’d be a riot to hang out with friend.
Have you filed a claim in your backyard yet, Jeff? My compliments to your fantastic nurse, Lila, for your excellent recovery rate! I smashed the big like button, your videos, knock it out of the park every time.
I built something similar years ago using a piece of plastic from a cutting board with circular grooves machined in it, using a lathe, at the bottom of the bucket to catch the heavies. It's great for producing concentrate quickly. An important addition to these type of bucket concentrators to really speed up the process is to make a classifier using a mesh waste paper basket that fits inside the bucket, I cut the solid bottom out of the basket and braze in a piece of perforated steel, this makes a portable concentrator that you can shovel dirt directly into it. One other thing is to bring a water bucket to nestle inside the classifier.
Hey Jeff, I went to HomeDepot to get the parts minus the magnet. I am confused and so was the employee on the 4" coupler flanged on the inside, I believe I found the right 4" to 2" reducer. Could you possibly make a parts list with links to make this complete setup. You have a link to a magnet site, but not pointed to the exact magnet to use. Thanks for your time and keep up the good work.
Gotta include Chest Waders in the cost 😂 My cheapest gold grabber was a triple stack High banker paint roller pan wash box. Used pvc for the frame and small chains for hanging the pans at angles with a 6” River Sluice for the final grab. 😂 Your cheapo wash plant is crazy cool idea! Funny stuff! Nice work Jeff Peace Prospector Tripp
The two-bucket method has been around for a while, while-and-a-half. What I like are your 21st century improvements. Ya sure can do a lot more volume per load with a drill & paint stirrer than ya can stirring with a fat stick. And since the batches were so much less no one considered making a magnet part of the catch. Kewl stuff, youse two!😁
That is a great idea, brother. What would it take to replace the magnet you have with a plunger magnet. That way instead of having to remove the bolt to extract your magnet, you just pull the plunger magnet out and pull the handle/lever. It's just a thought.
a sandwich baggie around the magnet(in the pvc) just before you put it in tge bottom of the bucket. When you pull out the magnet assembly, it is in the baggie and you can turn it inside out and pull it away from the magnet and you have a baggie of black sands 👍.
Thats awesome Jeff, The who real trick is im getting that much gold in every pan if not more... about a half gram every 2 to 4 buckets, all Im using is a $7.00 pan
I had this idea just before you made this video and what I found was that it's an extremely effective tool for bulk sampling. I would bring a 12 volt lithium iron phosphate battery and a 2000 gallon per hour pump and then a classifier and a drill and a paint stir. Classify the dirt into the bucket. Get rid of the big rocks and then remove the classifier and use the paint. Stirrer to do the poor mans sluice. It works really well. I'm going to have to go to magnet and build this thing. It's a very handy tool to take into the field.
Nice job! Thank You for the video's, knowledge, positive vibe, good energy, not wasting time, and having a great attitude. I have learned a lot from you through your videos. Worth while solid info.
Love this contraption, Brother ! I think you really have something here. Easy prospecting sluice that can go anywhere, including Nome. 👍Better get a patent on it. I'm sure you're gonna start prospecting the entire backyard. Who knows what else you'll find ?
Just one bucket. Continuously add, twist/shake,remove. At end of day pan out just bottom layer of sand. Could use magnets during process. But the idea is to be able to walk up and down creek with just a few tools collecting as opposed to hauling heavy bucket loads back to sleuce.
Thanks for sharing your build and the advice! While watching your video, I had an idea. I noticed when at Home Depot recently that there is a coupler to attach a hose to PVC etc, maybe attaching the hose to the outside of the bucket via the coupler would help by keeping the sprayer out of the way. I'll build one and see if I can make it work, then share it.
What happened to just a hammer and pick , caveman style. 😊I love you and Lila s ideas and options because we can find that MOTHERLOBE sooner . Jeff where you making a chocolate cake or panning for gold🤣. Thank you both for another inspiring and confident video. One goes with what works😊
This is cool! We have a local place here in Statesville, NC that rents a small sluice for $10 per day which works good too but I like this bucket idea. I also want to make a PVC pipe vacuum sometime. Thanks for the video, great as always 👍
I’m not a prospector but I gave it a thumbs up for watching your excitement while making the video. On a serious note though it sure looks like it’s a lot easier to carry than the alternative.
@Jeff cool idea now add a bulge pump with a 90 elbow in the top bucket for use either at a stream or with a containment tub to reuse the water as your mixing and dumping the water. 🤔
Great video Jeff interesting process I'm going to have to watch this one again and again and then proceed to make this contraption thanks for the video Jeff
I had a thought of stringing a bunch of those right under a little waterfall and just shoveling all the deep spots in the river into them and let them filter all the goldies for me! What do you think? Would it work? Maybe add an attachment that would cause the water to swirl down and around the sides?
Jeff that's the neatest thing I've seen since the first brick cell phone. I'm impressed. Now it's imperative you patent it. And your still standing in water. Funny your not on the mountain it's your very rich backyard. Assay your back yard lol it's as rich as the drift mine. Good job. Put a plastic cup over the magnet easier cleanup. I'm done. Great idea ❤❤
My friend that got me into prospecting told me not to faff around with blue bowls and whatnot until it was worth it for me. Told me to get a few bundt pans and a lil pump to tide me over until i could make it a self funding hobby.
Jeff I have molybdenum in mine along with free gold and mixed with chalcopyrite. What method do you suggest for extracting gold from molybdenum? Thank you very much for the informative and professional videos.
you can use an aqueous solution of hydrogen iodide and iodine to solubilize the gold without solubilizing the molybdenum, then drop the gold out of solution
WTH! That's the same way I make my hummingbird feeders! Except with plastic pop bottles! Lol! Keep em coming......Hey Jeff I think I found an old honey-hole spoon, yum.... get out of the heat & down in the mine! 💰💪👍🤠
The only thing I can think of to make it better would be a piece of hard plastic on top of the magnet with washer on top to keep the magnetics off the magnet and easier to clean. Great job Jeff and all involved making this happen thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
@@danbosch- I thought the threads might tear the bag and fall off when you unscrew the magnet loosing the minus 100’s but I agree something would work that would be fast and efficient just not sure what it is
would recommend you put a sandwich baggy around the magnet before inserting it into the bucket bottom. It keeps the magnetite and hematite from getting on it for a bit cleaner magnet. Just a suggestion!😊
Could we put some riffles along the side of the bucket so, as your (tilting/ classifying) the riffles would stop any gold from pouring out. Great job at this new idea.
Jesus crack me up you remind me of my cousin's growing up in Central Montana he just having a good time and I love seeing that I like watching you thank you Happy New Year you guys look like you always have fun God bless you
Jeff, what you have done is basically build a small scale trommel. I wonder the following. 1. How much more recovery can be had with Jet dry on a large trommel by partially recycling the wash plant water so that the organics are sent to a settling pond. 2. your buddies doing hard rock and a vibrating bed separator with jet dry, how much more effective for the missed fine mesh. 3. add this process to the "tailings" off a larger process to capture the fines. 4. leave the bucket mounted at a 45° angle and let the drill flip out the debris as you add material and water ( or recycle water ). put the capture screen at the bottom edge of the 45 degree bucket. I once saw a large scale Alaska operation ( Cambior ) at Valdez creek AK, wash plant have 1/4 inch classifier bounce all the bigger nuggets into the tailings, and the only reason they had bigger nuggets, is because they were long and tapered and stuck in the screen. Lots of mining in Alaska is stuck in limbo, because the federal government haven't given title to Alaska to vast tracks of land. So if you loose your federal claim, you can't mine under state rules till the federals transfer title. Plus Fish and Game are jerks
Maybe you can find a way to isolate the magnet with a zip lock baggy to keep it clean. All the material comes off on the baggy, not sticking to the magnet. Another good video.
This was a great vid . I was thinking would one of those sink drain catcher screens work ?? Also could you please tell what the jet dry does ? Thanks and again great vid .
@@Askjeffwilliams you are a smart feller & not a fart smeller after all! lol i am only kidding sunny Jim keep dem Pants ON! so you know what I am going to say now don't you!
Dear and lovely Jeff. I enjoyed the technical and professional work. I have a polymetal mine where gold particles are between 40 and 60 microns. Can I separate the gold particles with your method?
This was one of the best videos about gold recovery I have seen yet. With a bit of ingenuity this could be made into a system that could be taken to any stream and get rid of panning in the field. I imagine a system of cogs that turn the the energy of the water in the stream into a rotating propellor in the bucket thus getting rid of the drill.
I can’t wait for this weather to break! I came across a wash that was almost solid black sand when I was hunting WW2 .50 cal brass this spring and have been dying to sample it. Bears prospecting store is literally 1/4 mile from my house in Lake Havasu!! How lucky I am. Him not so much🤣
Home depot buckets are 12.5" in diameter. So try a wire pasta colander strainer to fit towards the top for large rocks. The strainers come in many sizes. Remove it after your pour all your dirt in. You could insert it into a cut tapered section from another bucket. Try putting some handles on it like synthetic rope to pull it out. Peace
What if you changed the system a bit and find something like a concrete mixer that feeds as it spins, plum in the water, and angle the bucket at a 45, or whatever angle you find works best, so that you didn’t have to babysit and run a drill? I actually believe the rounded bottom of the concrete mixer might work out better in this scenario. I realize that just seems like too much work when this system works as well as it does but if you figure in the possibility of how much more material it’s likely to run through with much less work then it might be worth the effort depending on how much of this material you have to run. If you ever need any help in about two months, I’ve gotta have knee surgery, I’d be willing to help for free just to gain some knowledge. Love the channel Be Safe out there GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Similar to how I use a concrete mixer clean up the gravel in my yard. Set up a hose pointing into the mixer and just shovel in the gravel, all the mud, weeds and muck just overflows out as a slurry.
Jeff in your video about unvailing top 5 gold panning spots. When your talking about the guy who worked for Exxon and was trying to find where the gold was coming from in the... What was that Bigfoot you see between rocks behind you
'm busy with a mesh tower on a modified spade as a dredge. Just replaced the shaft for a pipe and a cordless high pressure cleaner and a different stronger venturi to create the suction.
Lol you stole my idea!!!! Using glasses to see what’s in the pan. Now I got to rent the Hubble …… lmao. Nuther awsome video you two!!!!! Gunna build one just because I can!!! But I need a bucket signed by you two. Cause I can’t afford the buckets this month got to rent the Hubble so I can see the gold……..😂
U and wifey must get a patent on that right away! More money, more gold!! I love watching your videos! I'm disabled so not so much in the business and all the hard work. Its a blast watching you do what you were born to do. I'm the type of person who would love to invest in the things you do. I was a patreon at the very beginning but my wifey said no more, sorry!!! Gosh, all the great gold you are finding now in your mine is awesome!! Through, I do buy numestic gold and silver. I'm hoping someday I'll be able to help out at your mine. I have become a patreon again!! And ya' am gonna wet!!!!
People think a patent protects your invention. But it don't ! Just copy wright the instructions for a few bucks. Then if someone copies it they can't Wright the instructions. I had one of the most successful toy products was ran over by Walmart in about 1 week and put my 10 year company out of business. Copy wright's are much easier to defend. Also it's a good idea to make a date of invention by wrighting down everything about it and what other materials it could be made of . Mail one to your lawyer and one to yourself with instructions not to open it until it's needed.
I would consider a shimmy cloth over the magnet for easier removal of the black sand or even a small piece of plexiglass to help keep it separated from magnet for ease of clean up. Yeah it would require a slightly larger hole than existing for accommodations for cloth..no augmentation if using plexiglass.heck even a heat gun to flatten out a piece of plastic soda bottle...or even like peak tea bottle. use the ridges of threads to hold it in place like the screen.
Well you better patient that idea 💡 Jeff and Lila… Definitely a SMART FELLA HAAAAA..!! Cheers. Back home from Gold Prospecting. Sent you a email.. Cheers Famo59..🍻⛏️
If you are in a development, they usually make the pads with dump loads of clay soils from gravel quarry's near rivers or washes. It might pay to inquire where the developer got that from.
Your extra agitated panning stratification is proof that I’ve been too careful with my panning. I’m gonna put together your bucket sluice. I’ve got about 10 gallons of cons to put through it. If I used your single bucket method it would be about a pint.
This reminds me of sidewinder sluice in Florence colorado they had or have what thay call the vortex buckets with a concave bottom and a magnet underneath the concave one. I wil send this to theme .
I had to stop at 3:40 when you said, are you paying attention? So far I am paying attention and it is a wild lookin’ bucket. Or as the English say, bouquet not bucket.! Crazy 😝
IDEA I finally got around to watching this and I loved it BUT here is something you might try. Find a strong ring/toroid type magnet or even stack of ring magnets magnets with any luck you create a strong whirl pool action and just maybe you could have the gold drop right through the middle of the magnetic toroid rings into a catch while the stronger irons stick to the inside of the ring(s). If that works I would use a small glass or plastic pipe with the magnetic fields on the out side so that when you finish you could merely remove the magnetism and let the junk iron fall out to ease with clean up. I would imagine you could do something like that as well with low voltage and make it an electromagnet so you can just switch it off and let the junk fall out.

7:32 not if your spinning it at the same time.. you will lose 1/3
Put a inside out Ziploc bag over the magnet housing and zip-tie or rubber band it in place for easy clean up. Awesome video thanks for sharing!
Mind blown!!
I use a balloon or a condom because it contours the magnet better. Ziploc bags always bunch up on me

The only big TH-cam star who still gets that finding gold shouldn’t cost a fortune! Still down to earth and real with the prospectors in the dirt!

Hey Jeff,
I went to HomeDepot to get the parts minus the magnet. I am confused and so was the employee on the 4" coupler flanged on the inside, I believe I found the right 4" to 2" reducer.

Thanks for your time and keep up the good work.
Maybe called a 4 inch BULKHEAD FITTING

HOW does a magnet help you trap gold
@@timbewcyk1988black sand is magnetic
That is a great idea, brother. What would it take to replace the magnet you have with a plunger magnet. That way instead of having to remove the bolt to extract your magnet, you just pull the plunger magnet out and pull the handle/lever. It's just a thought.

I imagine a system of cogs that turn the the energy of the water in the stream into a rotating propellor in the bucket thus getting rid of the drill.
thanks
@@Askjeffwilliamshay Jeff that bucket idea is just great. Maybe you should sell them on the net.

The fact I just designed this in my head n it popped up like two hours later is mind blowing…
Those smart phones watch and listen to everything. They can read your mind too.
Been doing this for a while. My area I need to break up clay clumps and this was my solution.
New to the channel, informative and very entertaining. Earned my sub
thanks , really appreciate that
You're gonna have to start digging your own back yard Jeff. Great video. Good sluice, it caught all the gold and then some.
Very nice, I live in Hawaii and want to build one just for the fun of it. Great idea!
dude! It's always cool to see your tips, William's wiggle, Alabama bump! Lol, good stuff!
hahahahhaaaaaa
I can’t wait for this weather to break! I came across a wash that was almost solid black sand when I was hunting WW2 .50 cal brass this spring and have been dying to sample it. Bears prospecting store is literally 1/4 mile from my house in Lake Havasu!! How lucky I am. Him not so much🤣
Home depot buckets are 12.5" in diameter. So try a wire pasta colander strainer to fit towards the top for large rocks. The strainers come in many sizes. Remove it after your pour all your dirt in. You could insert it into a cut tapered section from another bucket. Try putting some handles on it like synthetic rope to pull it out. Peace
thanks
Great demonstration, going to build one
👍🏻👍🏻 another great video. And hello from Huntsville AL
Hi land of redstone
Nice one man gold finding operation and affordable too. Too cool. I could not find the URL to the magnets. Thanks you Jeff and Lila. ;o)

What if you changed the system a bit and find something like a concrete mixer that feeds as it spins, plum in the water, and angle the bucket at a 45, or whatever angle you find works best, so that you didn’t have to babysit and run a drill?
I actually believe the rounded bottom of the concrete mixer might work out better in this scenario.
I realize that just seems like too much work when this system works as well as it does but if you figure in the possibility of how much more material it’s likely to run through with much less work then it might be worth the effort depending on how much of this material you have to run.
If you ever need any help in about two months, I’ve gotta have knee surgery, I’d be willing to help for free just to gain some knowledge.
Love the channel
Be Safe out there
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
thanks , really appreciate that
Similar to how I use a concrete mixer clean up the gravel in my yard. Set up a hose pointing into the mixer and just shovel in the gravel, all the mud, weeds and muck just overflows out as a slurry.
First time I've seen this channel can you please describe to me what the Jet-Dry does?
its to break the surface tension of the water so ultra fine Gold does not float on the surface
Awesome design! I’ve used your original bucket/drill hack to save a lot of time.
works every time
Well I'm sure the local water company is loving all the home videos lately. Hope you are feeling better Mr. Jeeeffff
about the same amount of water Golf courses waist, so they love us.
@@AskjeffwilliamsLOL, Lake Mead is empty and Jeff gets the blame.
Jeff in your video about unvailing top 5 gold panning spots. When your talking about the guy who worked for Exxon and was trying to find where the gold was coming from in the... What was that Bigfoot you see between rocks behind you
were heard something in the tree line
Jeff, please include the promised link for magnet that you used. Thanks for another great video!

Good job. The biggest problem is to recover gold from concentrates. Any suggestions??
many ways we have done vids on
@@Askjeffwilliams sure.. many ways. All are long process
'm busy with a mesh tower on a modified spade as a dredge. Just replaced the shaft for a pipe and a cordless high pressure cleaner and a different stronger venturi to create the suction.
jeff, ever thought about mining for gold in aruba?
Lol you stole my idea!!!! Using glasses to see what’s in the pan. Now I got to rent the Hubble …… lmao. Nuther awsome video you two!!!!! Gunna build one just because I can!!! But I need a bucket signed by you two. Cause I can’t afford the buckets this month got to rent the Hubble so I can see the gold……..😂
Jeff you have the best channel always trying to make me rich.
thanks .... we ant everyone to fins that Shiney out there
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
you betcha
This is awesome thanks for all your helpful tips and tricks brotha Man you Rock 🤘⚒️✨
Any time!
U and wifey must get a patent on that right away! More money, more gold!! I love watching your videos! I'm disabled so not so much in the business and all the hard work. Its a blast watching you do what you were born to do. I'm the type of person who would love to invest in the things you do. I was a patreon at the very beginning but my wifey said no more, sorry!!! Gosh, all the great gold you are finding now in your mine is awesome!! Through, I do buy numestic gold and silver. I'm hoping someday I'll be able to help out at your mine. I have become a patreon again!! And ya' am gonna wet!!!!
thats great Tim and welcome back my brother ....we know the 5 ounce nuggets are in Lilas Drift
People think a patent protects your invention. But it don't ! Just copy wright the instructions for a few bucks. Then if someone copies it they can't Wright the instructions. I had one of the most successful toy products was ran over by Walmart in about 1 week and put my 10 year company out of business.
Copy wright's are much easier to defend. Also it's a good idea to make a date of invention by wrighting down everything about it and what other materials it could be made of . Mail one to your lawyer and one to yourself with instructions not to open it until it's needed.
By the way being it's shown here to the public it can't be patented. USA patent laws are one of the worst in the world !
Oh now I just make games and donate them to hospitals for children with terminal illness.
Much as late as I am. SAVE THEM IRON ORES!!!
Editing time. Jeff, you are a gifted Kelt!
thanks
What size is the magnet, in the pvc 2 in reduce down to 1/4 in ?
2 inch
Great Video!!! Where can I find these magnet?

@@Askjeffwilliams thank you so much for actually responding to me! Thank you!
Do you think that it would work for super fine flour gold, like we have here in Wisconsin?
yes
I would consider a shimmy cloth over the magnet for easier removal of the black sand or even a small piece of plexiglass to help keep it separated from magnet for ease of clean up. Yeah it would require a slightly larger hole than existing for accommodations for cloth..no augmentation if using plexiglass.heck even a heat gun to flatten out a piece of plastic soda bottle...or even like peak tea bottle. use the ridges of threads to hold it in place like the screen.
good idea
just found your channel. really enjoying it.
Awesome, thank you!
Well you better patient that idea 💡 Jeff and Lila…
Definitely a SMART FELLA HAAAAA..!!
Cheers.
Back home from Gold Prospecting.
Sent you a email..
Cheers Famo59..🍻⛏️
Tony .....I know right ....we are doing that RIGHT now ....Lol .....thanks my bother hope you guys are doing great . Thanks and be safe out there
If you are in a development, they usually make the pads with dump loads of clay soils from gravel quarry's near rivers or washes.
It might pay to inquire where the developer got that from.
good idea
Your extra agitated panning stratification is proof that I’ve been too careful with my panning.
I’m gonna put together your bucket sluice.
I’ve got about 10 gallons of cons to put through it.
If I used your single bucket method it would be about a pint.
exactly ....keep us posted
Any updates from last year on how it worked @billbucktube?
@@AgentM3tallion Life interfered. I still have the cons… SIGH!!
This reminds me of sidewinder sluice in Florence colorado they had or have what thay call the vortex buckets with a concave bottom and a magnet underneath the concave one. I wil send this to theme .
cool
I had to stop at 3:40 when you said, are you paying attention? So far I am paying attention and it is a wild lookin’ bucket. Or as the English say, bouquet not bucket.! Crazy 😝
hahhahahaha
IDEA
I finally got around to watching this and I loved it BUT here is something you might try. Find a strong ring/toroid type magnet or even stack of ring magnets magnets with any luck you create a strong whirl pool action and just maybe you could have the gold drop right through the middle of the magnetic toroid rings into a catch while the stronger irons stick to the inside of the ring(s). If that works I would use a small glass or plastic pipe with the magnetic fields on the out side so that when you finish you could merely remove the magnetism and let the junk iron fall out to ease with clean up. I would imagine you could do something like that as well with low voltage and make it an electromagnet so you can just switch it off and let the junk fall out.
Great video.when are you anle to get back in the drift mine?
here soon
