Bought myself one of these from the good people at Aussie Detectorist in Newcastle. i wanted a river sluice for when i head back to Oallen Ford, but also wanted to modify it to use as a cleanup sluice. that required legs for adjustment, and i couldnt come at the $190 for the metal ones, which...

Hi Hannah, i can personally vouch for the paydirt from several places on line Grappy's Gold, - closed until Feb 2024 - good content gold digger daves gourmet paydirt the miners den Gold Rat paydirt Miners den send it really quick, i ordered on Sunday, and it was on my door step by Tuesday.

Hey mate, yeah pretty good for sure, would depend what price you could actually get selling the gold i guess. was well worth it. Im looking now for DIY classifiers up to 200 or 300 mesh. trying to work out a stackable version or something like the golden rule set.

So i bought 2 bags @ $60 each, i ended up with 1.2grams of gold from my beginner style panning, i more than happy with that, we worth the purchase, good fun, thanks Mick. lots of little extras in the bags. Planning of taking a trip to Bingara to three creeks mine to have a go at the panners...

Got my 2 bags of Grappys Paydirt today I have roughly removed the larger pieces, so far .38grams lots of thin flakes, good to see all the colour. Haven't got thru all the +50 -10, haven't even looked in the minus 50. looking forward to digging into it a bit deeper.

Decided to re run the cons again, this time thru the little plywood sluice i made, complete with homemade silicon mats, I have a new Sluice on the 3d printer of the high banker style, modular. Anyway we will see if we can find any extra bits in this lot. Wish me luck

Hi Sand Surfer, thanks for the reply and the great content mate I have certainly tried to make one of those, my big problem with what i did was the spring rate, far to hard, Bunnings didnt have a lot of choice unfortunately i am definitely going to try this with the plastic bag method.

i did run a magnet around in the blue/Black bowl several times, i will certainly try the plastic bag trick! simple is good! thanks

so the end result so far is a 0.5 gram picker 0.35 small pickers 1.3 of flour gold and black heavy sands Any ideas of removing the black heavies? i have ran them thru my 3d printed Blue Bowl several times.

I read Patrick thread and he also mentioned Grappy's so we will give it a shot as well By the way, i wonder how you get hold of a trailor load of cons??? thats the question

Hi Mat, yep i get it,, then you could find a bloke like user7222 who obviously wasnt in it to make money out of each bag

Thanks Grubstake, out of a couple of the bags i bought i dont think i got anything of significant value. i bet i can get more out of a $20 bag of bunnings sand!!

would be nice to find someone who was fairdinkum about it, sell you enough to have a chance of getting money back and a little for interest. but i guess everyone wants there pound.

not at over $100 a bag i wont

Thanks all for your input, I will chalk this up to experience. as i dont have anywhere close to go prospecting, i thought i could buy some concentrates to dip my toe in the water. i have bought 4 different types from 4 different places. Luky to have retrieved 1 gram of gold so far, (I might add...

Hi @Hawkear thanks for the reply, the material came from a guy in Tenterfield NSW. I believe it came out of rocks like this, this sample was given to me with the material. Regards Geoff

Hi Mbasko, thanks for the reply, greatly appreciated. im also convinced that there is quite a bit of pyrite in these cons. now how to deal with them, Can i ; A - crush them finer, and will that make them easier to remove? B - Smelt this all down? ( i have a Smelting furnace on its way) C - some...

Well you got me for sure pretty gullible here obviously
