GOLDIE, My Goldrop test unit from Sluice Goose Inventor, Exciting New Tool for small, medium scale miners Options

[gold_tutor]

Hi, All!

This is a new thread, inspired by the 2004 thread I started when I first got my hands on the old "Gold Separator" tiny unit which I purchased off of eBay on a hunch and then wrote about here, when Gat chimed in and helped make it work better but not as good as what I'm introducing here today.

Here's the OLD, Original CP forum thread from 2004:

Old CP thread I started on Gat's and My tiny gold separator

Here's my existing unit, GOLDIE I call her, which I'm currently beta testing for Sluice Goose Industries out of Albany OR which has not put these into production yet:



THIS ONE, My GOLDIE, totally HAS ME JAZZED.

Miner, Refiner, and entrepreneur, David Emslie right there in your sweet state, Denise, has seen this at the GPAA shows since May of 2018, and is also Jazzed about this unit and its performance for his reclamation mine which will be online in the next 5 weeks, and start chewing away at those tailings piles around his site. Colorado Approved, and county licensed, and lining up the old mines in the area, Dave wants to use units like my GOLDIE which John built, instead of totally relying upon gynormous tables already built and ready to be site mounted.

David Varabioff of "Motherlode Gold" (GoldBay Gold) is jazzed about getting his hands on a Goldrop unit shortly for his Colorado Quartz Gold Mine in No. California. Yes, the one he sells paydirt from and also finds those scarey beautiful Crystalized Gold Specimens, which just take my breath away.

Thirdly, Yuba Industries, a well known-- at least on this left coast-- miner, is also Jazzed after their initial salted cons test returned very high percentage of gold in their run of table cons when they just completed testing Goldrop. Salted 14 grams, recaptured 13g, aka 93% capture. I know nothing of the mesh sizes nor the composition of the con, nor the beginning weight/volume of cons, just got the report.

THIS 31" unit (adding the changeout catchment jar at the bottom of this "goose" adds another 5" in height), is a verrrrrrry small footprint unit and I predict will obsolete Shaker tables in both speed and rate of capture in the very near future.

This unit, since it is a closed system ELIMINATES the skating/kiting High Corey Factor gold losses from those flat, FLAT gold flakes, and all the floaters, too. ALL THAT, yes, They ALL end up in the catchment jar, and thus into your snuffer bottle for taking directly to the bank, and in short order. This is so satisfying.

I can process a 5 gal bucket of 3/16 screened cons in my GOLDIE in less than 20 minutes, and smile like a Chesire Cat.
Uses an 1100 GPH bilge pump, only 3 AMPs DC, and a gallon a minute. This is IDEAL for portable Solar Panel constant charging while processing, AND a recirc system, since it uses a gallon a minute in water.

I LOVE my "GOLDIE!"

Let's visit about this, CP'ers!!

Glad to be back with such good news, after 15yrs "doin' my thang" but never far away from my pan...which, BTW, I've traded in for the fabulous GOLD CLAW pan. WHEW!!! This is a WALK-OFF, 2 - Run homer to use Colorado Rockies' Baseball color commentary!!!

I'm happy to report that the GOLDROP elutriation gold separator is going back, by invitation to Columbia, 6 years after first introducting them to the Golddrop. Some very significant, independent, university level testing for capturing mercury from contaminated soil, and gold bearing cons, as been completed and the scientific result posted for all to study.

This is an exciting development for the non-profit, Mercury Free Mining, headed by Toby Pomeroy, of Oregon.

Thank you for your kind attention.

For those of you who have not been keeping up with the connection between Mercury Free Mining and the amazing GOLDROP by inventor, John Richmond, of Albany OR, of Sluice Goose Industries, sole manufacture of GOLDROP gold separator, this reduction and elimination of mercury in artisanal and hobby mining is John's over-riding passion and has been since day one.

I concur.
