Here is a new recovery sluice that uses no riffles to recover fine/flake gold from black sand concentrates. I was real impressed with this recovery system. This system will work great for any sized dredge, drywasher, sluice or small mining operation clean up.

@Nuggethunting There actually is a unit that recovers even the tiniest piece of gold, called the gold rocket concentrator from rotapan, check it out he got some vids here. peace,
what might make this work a bit faster is a barrel you can hand crank with that 20 mesh exposed on a portion of the barrel. Mount the barrel over the top of your sluice so you can slowly crank the barrel around and have it drop a uniform amount of concentrate across the width of the sluice. You can play around with how much mesh is exposed so that one crank delivers the right amount of concentrate… just an idea, let me know what you think and if you try it!
@videomanproductions Never tried chalkboard. This unit works really well, but nothing is going to recover 100% of the gold. Some really round pieces can roll right off this unit, so you have to pay attention and not feed it too quickly. Overall, I really like it!
you probaly know this but chalk board paint works real well in place of the carpet, for some reason the gold sticks to it, I bought the “gotcha water table” from nugget bill and am still trying it out, Love your design
Cheers
