Hi, has anyone used one of these and do you have a problem in using a 12v submersible pump in national parks etc.
Regards to all.

No fossicking in NP's, so I'm sure they would object. Geez they object to you walking & camping in lots of places.

Thank Slowflow, answers my question re national parks.
Still has anyone used one of these gold cube stacks?

luckyfive I purchased the deluxe 4 tray one about six weeks ago. I was amazed at how good it actually works. You need a good supply of water or recirculate it. Sieve down to 1/8 of an inch, smaller if you like. It will trap gold down to micro gold, and then you have to pan it off. I am at this stage now and am struggling with the removal of black sand as it takes the floating gold and fine gold with it, though I have overcome the floating gold problem. Even though it was a bit pricey I am glad I got it and will be great in summer to play with when too hot to detect.

Thanks for the reply, did 99% of the gold get caught in the 1st matted tray as they say or was there much in the 2nd and 3rd? Please don't say there was a lot in the last one as I only purchased the 3 stack and have taken a chance on the last one not doing much??? Regards luckyfive.

Hi Luckyfive,
I swear by the Goldcube. I classify my cons from the Walbanker to 1/8th and then put through the goldcube. I have 3 collection trays and 95% of the gold is in the first tray.I then put these one at a time through a blue bowl. Takes a while but you retreive every minute piece of gold.
Good luck mate
Cheers
Mark

I missed out this bit. I classify what comes out of the gold cube to 100 , 50, 30 & 20 Mesh. These I put through the blue bowl
Cheers

Hello guys,

I am new to the forum as you can see.

I have done no prospecting/fossicking, but as I am almost 60 I am looking for a hobby to keep me interested in living once I retire (some of you you know the deal I am sure!)

My question is this, in NSW is operating a Gold Cube on site regarded as "Processing" by the Dept of mines?

I would like to get one, but I do not want to end up in strife.

Thank you

Jeff

No different to using a highbanker.
