Thanks goldrat your generous prize :Y: :Y: it deserved alot more entrys than what was put foward, i expected my post to be back in the pack as theres so many well spoken passionate enthusiasts on this great form.
Thanks to all for all the likes and pleasantries that have followed, i am fully chuffed to have won and it will be a great sluice for my 6 year old son to begin his prospecting carreer.
I hope goldrat sells 10 of these sluices from this comp and continues to support this the forum.
Yep, understand re: the work thing. Drought, fires, floods - now pestilence and probably famine - best make sure you keep Sunday free for church AF layful:
I sieved the cons down a bit tonight to get rid of the rocky stuff and make it all a bit smaller for packaging. There is a lot of pieces of gold in the little bag but I reckon not much in the mass cons container. Even with the lots of pieces of gold - there is stuff all weight of gold. Maybe .05 of a gram!
I was keen for the winner to run the container through the sluice as a test to see if there was anything left in there. And then maybe add in the bag of bits, run it through again and see what it came up with. It sounds like a rainy day activity for a farmer I actually think I've done a reasonable job with the panning considering it was pretty rough.
To be honest, if it was just a cons comp and all they got were mine then I think the winner would be dissapointed!
I'm very happy to send 'em to you. They're all ready to go. Just let me know :Y:
:lol: The strangest thing I've ever sent in the post.
Surprised it's there already. Sent via snail mail on Wednesday.
I had been trying to pan out the black sand in the little bag from the gold. I reckon 2 minutes after I sent it off I thought "should of used a magnet ya ********!"
Well it arrived today and by golly it looks even better in real life , shes tha ducks nuts i tells ya. I will try get time to sluice the lunch box of cons norteast kindly sent sometime in the next 5 or 6 days.
