Anybody got a cheap way to recover fine gold from concentrates that can be used indoors and is about idiot proof? I found some Miller table setups on Ebay and from Martin Prospecting in South Carolina but I'd rather not fork over more than $100 for a home setup. I know a GoldCube is made for this also, but $500 is a bit much for those of us on a tight budget. One thing I did like about the Martin Prospecting Miller table is the small hole at the head of the table into which you can sweep the gold with a tiny paintbrush which eliminates the use of a snuffer bottle. A vial is screwed into the bottom of the hole to catch your clean gold. They want $250 plus with shipping for this unit. I saw a homemade unit like this on YouTube made with wood and parts from Hobby Lobby. Has anybody made one of them? Thanks. -Tom V. -
I've been working on a simple hand operated unit that can concentrate down dry material quickly, no need to classify just feed in the rocks as well . Have made a prototype that works at last after previous fail designs , this one is very portable for one man operation . My question is who do I offer the design to as I'm not going to go through any long patent BS . Would Garret be interested as an example ? Regards Jack

Hey Steve, Did you ever get a chance to use the rocker? I am curious about the its efficiency on fine, flat gold. Also, what does it weigh?

Besides all the beer drinking & playing up I like to make stuff , last year I wanted a hand operated thing that would concentrate down the heavies quick so I could do less panning . First photo is the proto type - Then I fixed up the bugs & changed angles plus fitted an hand mixer on the next model . Works Like this , throw a bucket of water in then the same of material , rock back & forth whilst using the blue handle to stir the stuff up so the heavies drop quick into the bottom trap . After a minute stop and collect the stuff from the trap by undoing the 2 clamps , empty & start again . When you get a bucket full of the heavies run that through so you only have one pan to do I called it the gold pram . Jack .

Got a few questions here. First I have a small impact mill that takes 3/4 minus material and will crush it to 100 mesh or smaller. I am looking for something that will take 2 or 3 inch material down to 100 mesh and not break the bank. I am looking for a gas powered unit that can be run on site. I am running desert material so all of my rock is dry. I fill buckets and take the material to Oregon. I crush it then run it through a concrete mixer with just a trickle of water and some Simple Green. Then I run the concentrates through a Gold Genie which recovers a large majority of the gold. The problem is I am left with a lot of rock that is oversized, most in the 1 inch to 2 inch range. My material is coming from a pit next to Rick Watkin's first pit in Nevada. Or maybe there is a more economical way to go about this or even with fewer pieces of equipment? Any other ideas? Thank you!! Steve
