  1. Hey Steve. I have a ew V3i related pubs you may or may not already have ... anyway where would you like me to load the files? You can look them over and choose which you would like to keep or trash.
  2. Use the detector to find good deposits of black sand ....... Then set up a high banker sluice and run that sand with fine gold recovery mats..... You'll come out ahead with the gold vs most trinkets you may find which will likely be junk i the areas you speak of.
  3. He will be missed... He was a fountain of knowledge that helped me a great deal. My condolences to his family and friends ........ Rest in peace Bob.
  4. I will add here that making changes to improve your recovery can be as simple as changing the sluice angle and/or water quantities, water speed is changed by the sluice angle. So new mats may not be needed .... make the simple changes first before you start throwing more money at equipment or upgrades. Just some idle thoughts.
  5. Test your tailings..... If you're losing a lot of gold then make some changes.... If not save yourself the time energy and money of upgrading.... Also NO setup will capture 100%... There will be losses. If you're capturing in the 90+% range you're doing good .. in you're testing find out what size of gold your losing, you then might think about adding a small section of sluice to deal with that.... Just some thought's ...
  6. The full size cube runs from 1100 GPH to 2000 GPH so if yours is half the width ... Then half the GPH should do fine. Tray angle is pretty specific to the design and there is a reason for that. You might want to try Deep V mat instead of the vortex mat as well.
  7. Been a while since I been here.... still around, sorta.... If anybody has any questions I'll be happy to try to answer. And Ill try to stop in a little more often. Heavy pans.....
  8. I think they have a winner....... I would buy one in a heartbeat if I was into nugget shooting.
  9. Geez Condor...... I'm 65 and your making me feel like I'm 90...... My knees just won't let me get into the terrain you travel anymore. Thank's for sharing ... I really enjoyed reading your adventures.
  10. Yeah I admit I have a pretty easy life and it takes a real good reason for me to get on the end of a shovel. If I could get at least a couple grams a day I would be a bit more motivated..... But a couple grain.... not so much.
  11. Fine gold......... So fine the static charge holds it to the sides of the vial. Give the vial a tap and it drops back in with the rest.
  12. Not nearly enough of it though...... I guess it would help if I got off my butt a little more often. The beach most of this came from is only about 15 minutes away and a pretty easy access.
  13. Well it has been a while since I got to the beach so I thought I would get out a little and do a bit of cleanup on some gold I already had. I went up to my little beach but only had a short time to work, also I was testing a little sluice to see if it would be a good sampler. So for about 20 minutes total work from setup to take down and back to the truck I managed to pull this and verify the capabilities of the little test sluice. Now I ran about 3 gallons of sand and ran it way to fast but it was just a quick and dirty to see how things might work. After cleanup I got this... .34 grain. I added it to the small bit I had and it came to 3.77 gram. The summer is NOT the time to beach mine but I found a little spot that may have a little potential..... I will not be quitting my day job however.....
  14. Well White's finally let my post stay Goldmaster 24K and they even put in a link to the advanced user guide.... Goldmaster Advanced User Guide
  15. How big is it... can you put something next to it for scale? Also ... What kind of metal is it made of?
  16. So what is your initial impression of the 24K? Despite your lack of manual and limited hands on time?
  17. LOL.... If I could get out to areas that required one you can bet I would have one.... Time and knees kinda dictate what I get to do anymore.
  18. I love my MXT... And my V3i.... With those two machines I have everything i want to do covered.
  19. Here is the response from the moderator and his response..... So, whatever... I think they are still reeling a little from the MX Sport and the early problems they had with it's release. The info you posted is "Dealer Only" and should not be released until 1 August. Some dealers and other sites don't honor the dealer agreement and "pre-announce" a new product. If something should change before the actual release date, it just causes problems.Thanks for understanding. I am still a White's guy and I really don't visit their forum that much so no sweat, It doesn't change my opinion of their detectors. I will continue to own White's... They do what I need done and do it very well.
