I have owned both a green & a blue bowl. I found that by clasifing the concentrates you lose less out of the bowl. Also if you had a ball valve & 4 or more inch extension between the valve & the bowl inlet you get more control over your current & water volume flow. The best results are obtained using a mixing tub with the bowl leveled sitting on a 5 gallon bucket in the tubto catch the black sand. The use of a 12 volt Bilge pump or a 120 volt pond pump allows you to add dish washer water conditioner to keep the flour gold from floating off into the bucket. Using the bucket to catch the concentrates let's you re-run anything that gets past the bowl. Save your concentrates and treat them to release the encapsulated gold you can't see. Note if your concentrates contain at least 10% precious metals the refiner will usually accept it all & you get maximum price for your metals. Call & verify before shipping to them.
If you want to make a home made bowl use a cut down 5 gallon bucket of your color choice. Glue an inverted cut down funnel in the center and glue an inlet pipe into the side, sand everything to fit properly where you apply glue at. Think your project thru before you start cutting and glueing.
The water is just fine it is what it is cost 11 dollars i got over 4 grams of gold so its works just fine thx th real blue bowl set ups are over 100 dollars so im happy with the way it works
Trick is using a level, to get it right but workin great for me. Thanks a lot.. From a Rez. Can't really afford 130$ for a blue bowl, black is fine for me. Thank you boys!
I'll give you a tip on the oil pan. The ones at the Dollar Tree are the same size, cost $1, and are much better plastic than the Walmart ones. I have several dollar tree pans that have lasted me years. I've have tried the Walmart ones a few times but they always break on me in a month. Yes, I'm tough on gear. But you can buy three or four Dollar Tree pans for the cost of a Walmart pan.
Very innovative and good family fun with the boys! Great idea on the plastic oil pan! Can you give more detail on the center pipe, part and measurement?
Hi it was such a longtime ago I don't remember. But by looking at it . I think it was two 2 inch PVC couplings that I put one at the bottom and one on top male and female. It work great we ended up after running all of our concentrate with 4. grams of flour gold and 3 pickers
Thank you very much! Liked the setup, especially the flat area of the pan...looks like you can dump more concentrates into the pan! Good luck to you and yours!
Thx for your advice. Your right but it was the best we could do with what we had to work with. I did add a little brass pipe to it that sends the water more towards the side. It work fine for what it is. Can you see the gold towards the center and of tothe left side we recovered a good amount of gold for a halfdays work thx
Left or right it dont matter the vortex is concentrated to the middle of the bowl.. have you ever been to australia water flows in the opposite way but still able to flush there toilets son mery xmas
Must be great to live in a country where you can pour water away without a care!Try saving the planet for your kids to enjoy a little bit longer and recirculate your water
@ Tony Mcculloch : Damn Dude. Where do you think that water goes? Into outer space? It goes back down into the ground and some might even evaporate...both ways are mother nature's way of recycling. Except for the very small amounts we launched into space, there is the same amount of water on the planet there has always been. You should learn something before making such a stupid and ignorant comment on a great video where a guy is making something with his kids.

Do you know what is priceless. The time you are spending with the boys,
@dominic dos santos it rotates in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere and on the equator it just drops straight down without revolving

Very cool guys!ima give it a try will let you know how it go's greatly appreciate your work!

I can also be started in the other direction, and as long as there is a flow it will maintain that direction.
Yes your correct
Thx for your advice. Your right but it was the best we could do with what we had to work with. I did add a little brass pipe to it that sends the water more towards the side.

if you classify the material to different sizes, it will work much better. Looks like a good home-made gold bowl :)
Yes you will get better results but classifying your concentrate
We were camping. Not too many hotels there nice city. And anywere along the river is good for panning
Nice best of luck panning hope ya find nuggets
Let us know if you get any ideas on the best measurement on how high up to cut the whole for the hose or water speed issue, would you?
It work best at the halfway point of the bowl. And the brass coupling is adjustable 6 more precise water flow direction
He so happy that you did this. How please?
Ya thats what i think as well too ..
Well i pan for gold not black sand and the gold jumps out at you yellow against black easy to see
I heard if it makes this ninja star design it's working right...
no it doesn't actually its goes different directions depending what side of the world your on
how did your concentrates come out?? i like your concept.
Really good 4 plus grams of gold from our concentrate
Just get a ceramic orange plant pot and a bucket its simple!!
Good deal guys.
pretty good 4 1/2 grams
Left or right it dont matter the vortex is concentrated to the middle of the bowl.. have you ever been to australia water flows in the opposite way but still able to flush there toilets son mery xmas
Nice video! Will it be beneficial to add mercury in the bowl?
No water does the trck
i think the water is running 2 fast
Dude badly taught in school physics! Water spinning in the opposite direction - clockwise! Ignoramuses!
Looks like there is more gold on the ground
Why use 'black'? Can't see black sand.
Not sure we dont realy use it not good for your health and the enviroment.. And we seem to get great result just the way we our using it
But it isnt Blue
It looks like a toilet
