For those of you that like to build stuff for separating your cons.
I found this PDF of a Miller Table design on the GPAA Forum that seems pretty easy to build.

Post pics please of your finished tables so everyone can see your handyman/woman work.

Big "Sucker"

feeds@yuku.com (deltabrent) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 02:21:45 GMT

For the coming season I'm thinking of building a big sucker so i can get at some of the gravel under water. Any tips to retro fit something on the market (Canadian Tire etc) or to build something. Preferably It would have some kind of chamber to hold a few "sucks" between emptying. Or at least enough to fill a pan.

Small mobile trommel and washing plant

feeds@yuku.com (OldPancho) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 14:17:44 GMT

Gidday,

I'm in Australia and have a small sapphire mining claim. Now it's too hot to work so I should be making a screening/washing plant. Problem is I don't have any plans. Can you point me in the right direction?

All the best

building with wood?

feeds@yuku.com (deltabrent) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:27:06 GMT

Not that I have any immediate plans to build much equipment but is no one building anything out of wood any more? Rockers and sleuces used to be wood correct? Anyone building out of wood? I assume hard woods and you want to avoid cracks and shoddy workmanship to avoid getting the gold stuck in cracks. If I could find a suitable place one day I'd build a sleuce with wood.

folding sluice

feeds@yuku.com (RollnBurn) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:47:22 GMT

After running my home built trommel at the CGMA weekend at Quesnell forks i decided i needed a larger sluice to handle the water flow that my trommel puts out. I wanted something that would work under my trommel but could also be used for other applications as well. I have a small metal brake that handles sheets up to 30 inches so i decided to make up a three piece foldable sluice made out of 3 pieces of 2 foot square aluminum sheet. The sluice starts out at 8 inches wide and tapers to...

Electric water pumps

feeds@yuku.com (Skunker) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:34:26 GMT

I have a Keene sluice that I want to rig up as a highbanker and would like to know if anyone has run one with a 12v electric pump. If so what capacity of pump would do? I've found bilge pumps that range from 500 to 2500+ gph but don't know how much is enough. I know most folks probably use a small gas pump, but I would prefer electric because its quieter. If this is a dumb question don't hesitate to say so.

New Angus Mac Highbanker Photos

feeds@yuku.com (CK Cowboy) — Wed, 13 May 2009 09:11:45 GMT

Here are a few photos of my new Angus Mac sluice now made into a highbanker.
It is light enough to backpack and breaks down and fits together and the legs are
threaded so they are removable, tried something different for the slope adjustment
I think it is going to work fine, used slots instead of drill holes for the wash bars.
Will have to get out and give it a test run soon.
Watch out Marvin you may be trading in the Le`Trap when you see this one.
Had a lot of...

THE "TORNADO" UBER SLUICE

feeds@yuku.com (crossfoxxvn) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:55:35 GMT

This is a sluice box we developed out of need /workin the naniamo river small color the odd piece one could pick up but for the most part small. The way this works is the box is set up with little grade 1/2 inch drop in the length this you can addjust as nessessary to clear. Next the field is flooded / the lip at the end is 1 inch 3/8 higher than the grate . Next turn the water flow until the field appears to have air underneath as you play up and down with the water volume you will see...

New Holder For New Sluice

feeds@yuku.com (minkos61) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 17:57:55 GMT

Here is a few pic's of the holder I built for the new Angus Mac sluice .
This will allow putting the sluice under the trommel or under the highbanker,
without having to mount it to either unit.
