  • The general rule of thumb for setting up a sluice box is a 1" drop per 1' of box, but there are other things to consider such as water flow in order to capture the maximum amount of gold.

    Thank you Kevin. Also, it did help me become a better prospector. I'm at a known producing river with a sluice for my first day really prospecting. EXCITED.

    Does anyone know where Tom Massie, from the Gold Fever show, is at nowadays?

    Great idea to not put your scoop with material above the water. Where were you running your sluice and did you find some gold?

      This was from a couple years ago up in Oregon. Found a couple specs... Wish I had more time to really prospect that creek. It was a beautiful spot!

    What do you do after the clean out of your sluice box? I just got my first set of pans and a small pocket sluice but I don’t know the next steps to recovery of the gold

    What if I made my own sluice box and it’s about a inc under a foot what should my angle be?

    We're is the best place in a river to start to look for gold.

    Can you expand on "hit, stick, and flow" ? thanks

    • @GoldProspectors
      @GoldProspectors  Před rokem +4

      Sure thing.. We'll do a video on it, but the basic principle is that when dumping the material from your scoop, you want to see the material hit the sluice box, stick for a fraction of a second, then flow down through the box. If it is not hitting and sticking, and just flowing, then your water flow is too intense and you could be losing gold. Either adjust the angle of your box, or slow the water heading into your box by constructing some sort of blockage.
