urbangold95 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I was wandering if any of you would recomend any equipment to get. I am in need of a pan, classifier, sluice..etc. I am not looking for a high end sluice or big sluice just something small and compact. I did some research and heard that keene sluices are really good. I was just wandering if any of you would recomend a model based on the information I have given to you for what I am looking for. Thanks again for any information and help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedrock Bob Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 In your location you just need something to test gravel and teach you the basics of concentration. My choice has always been a rocker box to test wetted gravel because it is cheap. You are probably not going to get rich and success will be gettin' any at all. Keep it simple and inexpensive. Most fellows spend a lot more time tinkering with equipment than getting gold. Don't fall in that trap. Spend a lot of time sampling gravel with a simple machine and then tailor your recovery system to suit the situation after finding some gold.Just my two cents.

frank c Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Google rocker boxes and you will probably find some basic plans to build a homemade rocker box that you can adapt the size to suit your preferences.Should be a 1 day project and you'd be ready to get into the field an use it along with a pan , snuffer bottle and a small plastic bottle to put your finds in.
