  Hello,

  Today we are discussing how to classify heavy materials and Gold from large amounts of dirt in a shorter time. Now that you have found somewhere to prospect and you have material to work, how do you separate the heavy materials and the Gold from the dirt?

  At the end of the day, it all comes down to a pan to do the final separation of your gold from the black sands. It can take a long time to pan through a 5 gallon bucket of dirt. Most modern prospectors today use tools to run their dirt and collect all of the heavy minerals from many buckets worth of dirt. Then run this smaller amount of material through their pan later. It is a fact that the more dirt you can process in a hour, the more gold you will find in the same hour. Here are a few names and descriptions of the tools that have been designed to help the modern prospector in classifying heavy materials from large amounts of dirt in a shorter time.

  The Standard Sluice.
  The Standard Sluice consists of a box designed to direct the flow of water provided by a running stream over a set of riffles that lets the heavies settle and become trap in the carpet. After several buckets of dirt, the Standard Sluice is removed from the stream and the heavies are removed for panning later.

  The High Banker.
  The High Banker was developed to place a sluice closer to the hole you are digging. It works the same as a Standard Sluice but, it has hoses and a pump that can take water from a stream or pond and run it through the sluice box nearer to the place you are working. That way you don’t need to carry your dirt as far and can run more dirt in the same amount of time. After several hours of running material, the riffles are removed from the sluice box and the heavies are saved for panning later.
