garimpo 2,288 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Sloba caution about having your gold weighed anywhere local....now since you had the weight done at a local jewelry store there's a good chance that everyone in town now knows that you have gold and they will be watching you....again do not tell anyone whatyour doing and for sure don't show anybody your gold....

garimpo 2,288 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Good thinking amigo....you don't need a "gold rush" on your creek.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Au Seeker 3,140 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Sloba,I know that you are disappointed that the gold is not as much as was thought, but don't be, you will find more!!You have good locations for gold and you will learn more every time you go.As I said before it is hard to tell how much weight in gold you have from your pictures, it would be easier if you put something in the picture for us to be able to judge the size of your gold, a bullet from your Colt Peacemaker would be a good object for us to use as a comparison, we usually add a US coin, but a Serbian coin would not help us because we don't know the size of Serbian coins.You also posted that..."people from customs kontact me, and ask me do deliver profe of shipment value", are they making it hard to get your sluice, what is it you need to show them?Skip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Dorado 964 Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'm guessing the customs declaration form I had to attach to the pkg was lost. He had to tell them the contents and value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garimpo 2,288 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Great to hear that Luka's dad is a happy prospector.....get pics of your water flow.....angle of sluice....now it's time toexperiment and experiment more....run the same amount of pans through the sluice that you got the good gold before andthen compare the results....Is it possible to get your dad to watch your back while you work on the creek?

El Dorado 964 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Sloba... take some pictures of how you set up the sluice. If you thing you are losing gold, just pan out a bunch of the tailings from the sluice and see if there is lost gold.......And don't feed the sluice too fast. That scoop I sent you should be about how much you should put in at once Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Au Seeker 3,140 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Sloba, Do what Don has said, pan the material that comes from the sluice to see if gold is going out of the sluice. Skip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigrex 60 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Generally, one inch drop per foot is a good guideline to start with (25.4 mm drop per 304.8 mm in length), making sure the sluice is as level as possible on the right and left-hand side is also useful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garimpo 2,288 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 No word from Sloba today....he must be on the creek sluicing up a storm....hope he's finding a lot of gold... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sgt. Dookie 0 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Dude, I just saw those pics you had earlier in the thread of the gold you found. An hour and a half? 3 hours of sampling? Pan only? That's amazing, you're really onto something. I'm extremely jealous you've found such a rich stream. Its taken me like 8 trips so far to equal about what you have, probably not even that much lol. Can't wait to see what you come up with after a full day of sluicing.Like everyone else already said, keep it a secret at all costs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goldfinger 43 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I just read an article from a 2004 edition of ICMJ about gold mining in Serbia. Very interesting and shows much potential. Hope you do well.Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Dorado 964 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 So how has the sluice been working? Thought you would have much more gold by now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garimpo 2,288 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Good to hear everything is going your way Sloba.....after you do a lot of testing and experimenting with your sluice youwill find some good gold... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Dorado 964 Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 So glad to hear that the sluice is working. That 20+ year old crevice tool has a magical power to find and recover gold. It was very lucky for me, hope it work as well for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
