Changes to Version I

I changed two things: first, the size was adjusted to the proportion of the "big brothers". Second, I made it much lighter by including the former adapter right into the funnel, so you do not need to carry the adapter with you.

Basic Cleanup Sluice Version II

The first "spin-off" of the 10cm Sluice System is the clean-up trough shown here, a sluice that can be assembled from the components of the Sluice System. The components used are:

• 1x funnel for sluice system 10cm
• 1x sluice body 70cm

The cleanup channel can be used differently (see section "Inlays" below), which depends on the placement of the interchangeable channel bodies. In the system the funnel with spigot is the most elaborate part. The channel bodies, on the other hand, are very cheap and can be exchanged as desired with the supplied adapter. Here again the most important fields of application of the Cleanup-Sluice:

• Cleanup-Sluice : The task is to concentrate the concentrate after the wash (whether with a pan or another trough), so that it fits into a small container A mineral collecting bottle) or to wash out the concentrate immediately and collect only the pure gold. I myself often do so: With the pan I clean columns and chinks, whereby only the large "Klunker" take, the fine stuff I throw into a bucket. This bucket is then washed out with a cleanup sluice.
• As a backpacking or prospecting trough : If you can not or can not take your "big" sluice, you will find a compact channel that fits into every backpack (otherwise the backpack is too small; It is worked as with a large channel, whereby of course some cuts in the size have to be made. It may be pre-sieved or the material used in a pumping operation (see hand and sand pump). This use makes it possible to get results quickly in an environment where the construction of a proper channel is too complex.
• As a conversion kit for the stationary sluice body : If you already have the stationary sluice body, the cleanup trough can significantly expand the system Small electric high bankers or a sluice for pumped material. On the other hand, it can of course use the sluice body supplied in the cleanup channel as an exchange body in the wash-out channel or to double it by its length and its length by means of adapters and channel bodies and to influence the catching behavior

The idea behind the wash-out system is particularly good: all parts can be used several times and the system can be perfectly adapted to the individual requirements and wishes.

 

Here is a tutorial how to open and close the universal connection (2.5MB, print version).

The inner life (= inlay)

The smooth rubber

Each of the inlays described below starts with a plain rubber. This smooth rubber is then necessary if the sluice body is later also to be clamped to the washing-out system, in the head of the washing-out unit it serves as a seal.

 

Without inlay (raw sluice)

Basically, the channel is delivered in the following state:

• Funnel: Glued and sealed, ready for use
• Adapters: Glued and sealed, ready for use
• Rinne: A piece of smooth rubber (approx. 9 cm x 10 cm) is supplied loosely, the sluice still needs an "inner life" (= inlay).

For this option, they must therefore still hand themselves and procure an appropriate inner life and assemble. The sluice is not ready for use .

 

Inlay "Allround"

When this option is selected, the sluice is completely glued and sealed. The following components are used for the inner life:

• One piece Goldblitz wash-out mat , approx. 10 cm x 47 cm
• One piece Goldblitz Goldfisch , approx. 10 cm x 13 cm
• A piece of smooth rubber, approx. 10 cm x 9 cm as seal in the front area.

We suggest this inlay for use as a Feingold wash trough, which is also to be used at the brook. The long range with Goldblitz wash-out rubber is optimized on gold bobbins up to approx. 2mm. The following shorter section of the Goldblitz goldfish gum will also retain significantly larger material. However, the Goldblitz Goldfish prevents the complete fine washing of the gold without residues by its much larger backing.

 

Inlay "Fine Gold"

When this option is selected, the sluice is completely glued and sealed. The following components are used for the inner life:

• One piece Goldblitz wash-out mat , approx. 10 cm x 60 cm
• A piece of smooth rubber, approx. 10 cm x 9 cm as seal in the front area.

This inlay is suitable for the use as a Feingoldrinne in areas where the gold is rather small and no finds are expected over 3-5mm (eg Rhine, Eder, Danube, Inn, Napf area, etc.) and on the other hand sluice body for a stationary washing trough for the home. The material should be pre-sieved to 2mm to achieve an optimal result, but also with coarse material a good result is achieved. In this case, the channel should be washed out frequently.

Inlay "Goldfish Rock'n'Roll"

When this option is selected, the sluice is completely glued and sealed. The following components are used for the inner life:

• One piece Goldblitz wash-out mat , approx. 10 cm x 8 cm
• One piece Goldblitz Goldfisch mat , approx. 10 cm x 52 cm
• A piece of smooth rubber, approx. 10 cm x 9 cm as seal in the front area.
• We recommend this inlay if the channel is to be mainly used as a prospecting and backpack channel. The Goldblitz Goldfisch is optimal for the use of unscreened material. Dur the assembly of a small piece of washout mat is also the function of the pre-foam in the sluice for fine gold perfectly covered.

Tail extension and combination

You need the optional adapter to combine more than one body! the adapter is not include in the cleanup set!

In many cases, it may be useful to distribute the individual functions of the inlay (for example, fining mercury, flitter gold in the stream, etc.) to different channel bodies and to combine these with an adapter for the current application. Example: If you have an inlay "Fine Gold" and an inlay "Goldfisch Rock'n'Roll" is actually armed for all cases:

• The "fine gold" is used for the stationary sluice body.
• The inlay "fine gold" is also used in the stream as a cleanup sluice after washing. If the found gold is bigger (around the 1-2mm) the inlay "Goldfish Rock'n'Roll" can be placed behind the adapter for security.
• The inlay "Goldfisch Rock'n'Roll" is used as a prospecting channel.
• If you want to use the sluice as a mini-high banker anyway, the inlays "Fine Gold" and "Goldfisch Rock'n'Roll" clash behind each other and can thus directly wash out relatively coarse material.
• If you have a lot of black sand, you can equip an additional body with real metal reefing and also integrate into the sluice. There are no limits to the user, a perfect adaptation to the current fund situation is always easy and inexpensive possible!
