Does "Gold Separator" work? Options

[gold_tutor]

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

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.

as gat described, it is a form of fluid bed consintrator, this is a simplified version of whats hanging off the rear of my over/under sluice. as youincrease the water column in this system it raises the lighter materials and drops the heavies. specific gravity in action through the use of a water column. and as gat says screening is very important in this proccess to utilize the specific gravity. my fluid bed is 20 inchs wide x 16 inchs long and 9 inchs deep. it is feed from the lower section of my over/under dredge. and it is screened to 1/4 inch then it stratifys on a 4 foot slick plate and it enters my fluid bed through a 1/4 inch slit that goes across may slick plate. at this point the cons are further screened from the action of the stratification of the slick plate. then these cons drop into my fluid bed and are further straified by the action of the water column in the bed. and the lights exit the bed through a 1/4 slit at the rear of the f.b. that is assissted by the exit water that comes from the over sluice and it creats a additional suction action from its water moving over my exit slit at the rear of the f.b. setting up the water column as gat says is touchy. to much pressure will blow out the fines. to little will slug the unit, and itll load up quick!!! its all so clear now that you put it that way! i run my f.b. with about 1/2 inch of water column. to figure what your water column is: it is the height of the water from that plastic line above your water level in the bed, or in this case in the tube. id use a recirculating system to make it work and have some sufactant in the water to keep your fines from floating out. i hope this helped you and i hope im on the right track and didnt misslead you or confuse you!
