Can't figure this out. The base where waterhose intake attaches, unscrews from the rest of the black holder that the clear tube is attached.

I don't think the small tube wadded up in it does anything at all. In fact, when it arrived the wadded up tube looked like it had oil in it and was just stuck in because the estate sale people thought they belonged together. I can't find a place to attach any tubing, so that doesn't help. And all prospectors know oil and gold don't mix, or bye-bye fine gold.

Will take more pictures of it disassembled from the bottom half black base if that helps anyone figure this out for me.

Thanks for all input or suggestions as to manufacturer or how to use or if something is missing beside the gold laugh.gif

Oh, and the label says: Clovis California and a Phone number. I've called and called and only get voice mail. Have left messages asking for whoever answers to call collect, but that hasn't happened either.

Thanks for looking.

Cool megan thats a heavy metal seperator ive used them tested them and yes ive cussed then too :) well thay have a draw back being thay have a very fine fliter in the bottom you must use fresh clean water from a house wel. If not then its already plugged up and will not work properly. Ok its a teatuss thing to find the right pressure but it can be dun I have some pics of it working corectly some were I think, ill check and see if i can find them. Anyways one thing for sure it needs to be in a tub of some kind so you dont lose any thing. Oh and level also. Ok add some cons screaned down too the size of a window screan size or less the finer the better.Start the water flowe at 0 then slowly increase soon as you see the black sand lift up off the bottom hold the water pressure there 1/8 " too 1/4" then just set back for a wile and watch it seperate the defrent wights,You will see like 3 or 4 levels of cons gold at the bottom watch the bottom level for gold lifting then when you think your tired of watching it lol use the sucktion tube to suck off the top two layers then very and i mean very carefuly suck the last black layer watching for gold lifting. Ok good luck with it if you need more help with it let me know and no i dont want to buy it rolleyes.gif as i have had one grin .
Gat.
Ps. Dont get me wrong thay do work its just very time consuming is all.
