iduhfs Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Anyone have any ideas about sluices with uneven bottoms like Le Trap? You don't see them on commercial rigs, so do they work better? Has anyone made their own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank c Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Just got my hands on what must be an older le trap its black in color, havent had a chance to put it to use yet but I'm looking foward to it. From the studying I've done it should be just great for what I intend to use it for running my cons from the drywasher thru after I've built up enough of them to run.

iduhfs Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Wow, that's an impressive pic. How does it do on flour gold? has anyone made a sluice with a non flat bottom? Any recommendations on what to try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hoser Oates Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Works good on flour gold due to negative pressure riffle system--but the answer to ALL flour gold recovery(no matter what piece of equipment you use) is classification everytime-tons a au 2 u 2 -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~LARGO~ Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi all,I was looking at Hoser's post with all the gold, and thought I recalled seeing a product recently, that was similar to Hosers,but with kind a pinch spot that would slow the incoming water a little, in order for the heavy gold to fall out, then passing the pinch spot, the water would accelerate again. At least i think that is the idea. I think that is what happens in rivers and creeks with deep pinch spots, the gold drops out, and that is why some dredgers have done so well in such spots... I would be this is where the designer got his idea. It is Number 9 in the sluice selection: http://www.angusmackirk.com/product_pages/sluices.htmlThese sluices have an odd kind of a double riffle in one design. I haven't taken time to look at everything, but it did look interesting.Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gilmore Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 With that much gold in the sluice I'd think he had to be loosing some as it ran right out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
