strick Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The wife and I sometimes like to bring home some dirt from the foot hills and run it on through a recirculating sluice at our leisure...(after work on our front porch with a beer) if you get the picture. The one I built several years ago is getting tired and I was wondering how others set theirs up? is there a better sluice set up already made from the factory? I've been hearing about this gold cube sluice? any and all recommendations are appreciated. The pic below (copied off the internet) is kinda like how we had ours set up.. strick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1515Art Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Chuck, not the sluice itself, but I borrowed this setup for settling tanks I found on a video on the interned. the guy made his system based on an ancient crop irrigation technique. I’m using 3 office trash cans and some black ABS pipe, the 45 bend on the end of the black ABS U shaped pipe keeps the syphon so after filling the tubes you can easily lower them into the water. I’m just filtering waste water into my garden so when running a sluice the pump drops into the 3rd tank instead of the drain like I have it now for the sink in my ceramic studio. link to video: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=sluice+recirculating+tanks&&view=detail&mid=B4E10A56C2C3FD049A95B4E10A56C2C3FD049A95&&FORM=VRDGAR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmancoyote1 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Here is my set up. I have replaced the sluice box itself with a Angus MacKirk drop sluice box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I haven't been real impressed with the gold hog. I have more confidence in rifles and expanded steel over corrugated carpet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strick Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thanks fellas for the replies. Watched the video. Interesting set up Clark I think I might try two containers as we dont have that much room on the porch... Coyote the modified wheel barrel is a great idea. I have one on it's last leg that can be modified. Klunker thanks for the insight 'm gonna look at some different set ups. We've been using Lisa's minnie Keene sluice. strick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1515Art Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I picked up a little Royal stream sluice I’m planning to use with the trash bins and ABS pipe, I still need to order a 12v bilge pump and fashion a little header box for it then add some flexible water line, Everything except the battery for the bilge pump will fit inside the stacked trash bins without taking up to much space in the Jeep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig It Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I think it's hard to beat a Gold Cube Deluxe !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strick Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Thanks for the detailed pictures John Doe that's a nice simple set up you got going there. Strick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnedoe Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Thank you stick. I got the syphon idea off you tube, the one 1515Art linked to. It works really well... Keeps up with the pump no problem. If I decided to up the GPH I just would add another syphon ..... Easy to do though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
