Gold Cube vs Blue Bowl 35058 34
Started by fritzj8@yahoo.com
Which do you think is better at recovering
fine gold, the Gold Cube or Blue Bowl and why I have owned and used
the Blue Bowl for several years now, and can really appreciate how much fine
gold it recovers. However, I don't like the fact you need to wash your
concentrates first or else the water gets really cloudy, which makes it very
hard to see what you are doing. This process can take a lot of time and
water to accomplish. Unfortunately, I have only use...

A couple of questions about the Gold Cube. I've been running Lake Superior sand through it. Is there a certain speed I should feed the Cube Should I feed it fast to keep it feed or slower to let it run some of the sand off How do you get the air bubbles out of the matting out in the field I tried just using the pump and hose that came with it but it seems like it doesn't get the bubbles out.

vehicle recommended for prospecting 45404 12
Started by blackchipjim
Hello all, I guess this is the best place to ask this question. I am going back to prospect some of the areas I have been researching by map. I just wonder what your opinion is on vehicles to go into the desert and mountainous regions of arizona. I had rented a suv last time and was leery of some of the sandy washes i encountered. I was going to rent a jeep wrangler if for nothing else but for it's tires and ground clearance. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Traveling with equipment 633 3
Started by timschoen85@gmail.com
I live in New England and travel quite a bit, and I'm constantly asking myself 'how do I get my equipment out here' I have a kit that I use here at home that condenses into a pack, and carry my stream sluice which is great. I also own a hard rock claim North of Wickenburg which requires a whole different set of tools. My issue is do I ship my sluice Check it as a bag and risk TSA destroying it Should I rent equipment from a local shop Any ideas

Where to sell Antique Equipment 15925 4
Started by bjlcbarr
My Dad was a collector of antique mining equipment 40-50 years ago. His yard is practically a museum of 100 year old rock crushers, small gas engines, miners picks, etc. He also has some antique assay equipment like button molds, crucible and scales. I have decided it needs to sell to pay for his assisted living. What is the best magazine or online marketplace for selling this stuff There used to be a couple of annual mining equipment shows years ago. I couldn't find info online. Thanks

Handheld GPS 646 5
Started by jdebroux
Hey there fellow prospectors. My wife got me membership for Christmas and Im in the midst of planning a few trips to some of the local claims. It dawned on me that I will probably need something that will be able to tell me my current location. I want to avoid inadvertently digging on property that I don't have any access to. With that being said, can any one out there recommend a modestly priced, handheld GPS that is able to cache loations/coordinates, provide a map and has way point to way...

Recommendations for handheld GPS unit? 29302 9
Started by JTaylor@HL.com
Heya All,
So I have been reading on the Claim Directory that folks say to buy a handheld GPS unit instead of relying on the cellphone. Given that my AT&T iPhone hardly ever gets receptions in the mountains, I can appreciate that recommendation. Trouble is, there are a *ton* of units out there ranging from very little to crazy money.
Any members care to weigh in on what would work for finding the ingress and center of claim coordination for the GPAA claims that are posted on thi...

Miller Table Setup Help 16607 5
Started by goldhammer88@yahoo.com
I just won a Jimbo's Gold Miller Table kit, including pump. Tried contacting him through his website and have heard nothing back in a couple of weeks. No instructions are included, but I figured out the assembly from the slide show on his site.
Looking to find an initial setup as far as flow and angle to run it at. Any thoughts are welcome, as this will be first experience with one.

Gold cube 44264 35
Started by minermikey
I am looking at the Gold Cube and I am wondering which combo works best There is the Cube with the Classifier Plate or the Cube with the Desert Fox Trommel. I am more interested in the quality of processed material than the quantity of material processed although quantity is a factor. If anybody has used the Desert Fox I would like their input as to its performance and durability, especially when it is with the Gold Cube.
