Finding Gold in your area and near your home town. part 2

  The Dredge.
  The Dredge is a floating sluice with a water vacuum to collect material from the bottom of water filled places. Until the invention of the dredge, it was impossible to get to the gold that had been trapped in the bedrock cracks and under the larger rocks that where submerged under water. By placing a sluice box between two pontoons and using a water flow directional device called a venturi to create a vacuum to pull gold bearing material from under the water line up to the riffles in the sluice. They could now get the gold from places inaccessible before. Still, after several hours of running material, the riffles are removed from the sluice box and the heavies are saved for panning later.

  The Dry Washer.
  The Dry Washer is the idea that brought the first riffled machines to the desert. Requiring no water and using puffs of air to move the lighter material over the riffles, it worked much like a High Banker, only more portable. The air is provided by a loud gas powered leaf blower filling the air with dust. Still, after several hours of running material, the riffles are removed from the sluice box and the heavies are saved for panning later.

  The Standard Recirculating Sluice.
  The Standard Recirculating Sluice was the first attempt at designing a water sluice that could be used next to the spot you decided to dig. By working with a single tub of water recirculating through the sluice, the Standard Recirculating Sluice could be used far from the closest water supply, even in places that have no water at all if you bring the amount of water it takes to fill the tub. Still, after several hours of running material, the riffles are removed from the sluice box and the heavies are saved for panning later.

  The GRUNT Portable Sluice.
  Designed by Grunt Gold Prospecting Tools, The GRUNT Portable Sluice is the latest in Recirculating Sluices. Built to overcome some of the shortfalls found in a Standard Recirculating Sluice, The GRUNT Portable Sluice is self-standing, has it’s own 1/2" classifier with a working water pick to wash off larger rocks, it's riffles are attatched to an aggressive deep V mat for a one piece clean up, designed to work with a single round or square five gallon bucket, its easy to swap buckets and keep the fresh water flowing. The GRUNT Portable Sluice easly folds up for transporting to your favorite prospecting spot. Before you buy any other sluice, we strongly suggest you take a closer look at The GRUNT Portable Sluice.

  Now that you have classified your gold and heavy materials from your dirt, it is now time to pick up your pan and see what your efforts have rewarded you.
