Gold Cube Options

[ScottKS]

After seeing all 3 video's of this...i really think this could be the next thing in prospecting...i really think this could work better then a sluice because instead of a straight sluice this one breaks it up into 3 trays and takes a staircase effect going down giveing the gold and black sands a good time to slow down and get caught...hummm

Hey Jeff (Mt. Dew) how far do you think this spot is from the spot we prospected?? think that spot was more in the center of Denver...this spot would be closer to where you lived in Aurora right?? (east side)

I agree with you about it not being the best thing for a primary sluice but if you are getting a lot of black sand I dont agree with pulling it out with a magnet without disrupting the sluice to much so I feel cleaning out the sluice often you have nothing to worry about and then running your heavies through a second sluice with the vortex matting will allow you to get that black sand to release the gold for the most part making it very easy with my gold wheel knowing that I did my best to catch every piece of dust. To me the whole flat bottom sluices for catching your concentrates work good but you feed them very very slow and also these guys selling these things for 200 is just retarded to me when all it has is a slick rubber matting laid in it so I would like to make some simple sluice boxes with the vortex mat for fine recovery of your thicker concentrates and you can run it faster and maybe run the same cons through a couple times getting more of that black sand to fall out and you can use very little water and know that the carpet is doing the job. I have been seeing a lot of talk about the metal grate in your keene sluice can make it hard for super fine recovery. A lot of guys are taking it out and getting better results which I found interesting. Its making these plastic sluices for fine recovery look pretty good. Well I will shut up now I if people disagree with me I love destructive criticism. I am always trying to learn more and I feel like there is never enough information found in the prospecting world
