Yes, Goldrop Miner will definitely be helpful to save lives and enrich lives too with more gold from the same ore than mercury can extract.

@@CelesteAnn-777 It is a lot of gold. The jar holds 80 oz. of gold. If you have that much gold to clean from black sand, Goldrop does it, fast!

@@3rdeyesolace I am in Oregon, USA. I have been working with www.mercuryfreemining.org and have been to Colombia on a Goldrop fact finding expedition financed by the Gemological Institute of America. We’ll be returning there with the Goldrop Miner for its testing and evaluation processing greater ore volume while maintaining its gold recovery efficiency. This is my website for more information, www.sluicegooseindustries.com.

@@Me2-l4m It spins either direction in either the northern or southern hemisphere though normal spin is counterclockwise so dirt is forced downward towards the elutriation drop tube.

@@vinivv Check the law about dredging! California does allow dredging again for reclamation purposes. As long as you keep the lead, mercury, steel caught by the dredge to show compliance removing that matter from the river, you’re good to dredge!

@@BabaTaifa I am sympathetic to your village’s problems using mercury to recover gold. I am working with www.mercuryfreemining.org to bring this new technology to artisanal mining. Our testing in Colombia shows promise to replace mercury. I am currently researching scaling Goldrop for greater capacity to process volumes of dirt with these results. The Goldrop Miner will be introduced soon and will be the device that will help eliminate mercury use. I am a one man operation with no financial support beyond my own investment and domestic Goldrop sales to continue Goldrop scaling research. I would love to help but I do not have the financial ability to do so at this time trying to grow Sluice Goose Industries. If Goldrop could be recognized by the UNDP as a device that will eliminate mercury use in the artisanal mining community, their financial help could have a tremendous impact building and providing Goldrop Miners on reducing mercury emissions to improve everyone’s health and our environment too! This is my mission

@sluicegoosegoldrop2821 that's great. I have been in touch with Toby from Mercury Free Mining already. All I ask is maybe give in a good word so that he can consider us. Otherwise swell job you are doing and may God bless you much for it.

It was purchased in Albany, Oregon. The gravel component of the Quikrete sand is dredged by Knife River Corp. from the Willamette River at their plant 30 miles north of Albany in Brooks just 5 miles north of Salem. The Quikrete trailer shows up daily at the Knife River plant for a load of gravel taken back to the Quikrete plant for blending with their sand.

You got that right! The profit for me is showing Goldrop results no other gold recovery method can produce.

Sand not cement

@@douglaspohl1827 This is my 1st attempt to scale Goldrop Vortex Spinner with great success. It is the key to scale this technology However large it can be. Already making arrangements for demonstrations in Colombia this spring to artisanal miners to replace mercury to recover gold. Further scaling designs are being developed.

@@sluicegoosegoldrop2821 Seems easy enough to scale up or gang several together if production is justified. Thanks for your effort and development.

@@sluicegoosegoldrop2821 I understand you must go where the market is...., especially when your local gold miner is seasonal... our local MBMM manufactures all the required gold mining equipment from crushing to pulverizing into powder to shaker table concentrator... while not expressly interested in adding a very fine recovery device like the Goldrop Miner it is hundreds of years newer technology than the patent of 1897 for a shaker table. Newer technology in 1950 resulted in the Knelson then the Falcon concentrators... today is 2025... a 'shootout' to recover gold using ; 1) a shaker table, 2) a centrifugal concentrator, 3) an elutration device like the Goldrop Miner and 4) a chemical leaching circuit like Exo-Goldex (a new cyanide pad is not like to be licensed) would be very valuable information considering gold is currently $2,671.49 per ounce or $85.89 per gram and expected to increase... 1897, 1950, 1980 or 2025 technologies? I'll let you judge how much is in the tailings piles and how best to recover... Safe travels!

You got it! Gravity is the mover in this system. Gravity feeds the pay dirt through Goldrop being in a fluidized environment. Wet pay dirt is washed into the trap at a higher elivation than the discharge of the tailings. The incoming pay dirt washes down the funnel displacing the tailings in the trap goosing the tailings up and out the lower elevation of the discharge. Gravity too controls the drop of the dense matter into the jar controlled by the vertical flow of the elutriation water. More dense matter that does not drop into the jar remains in the trap too while the less dense tailings head up and out into the tailings bucket suspended by the spinning action of the paddle and forced out by incoming pay dirt.

I would like to see your less complex method in action. If you have an idea, build it and demonstrate your device. I'm glad watching this video has spawned other ideas that may become reality. That's how technology progresses.

@@sluicegoosegoldrop2821 I have not finished building mine yet and for me the hard part is controlling the flow for each of the classified material streams. My goal is to allow a single stream in that is classified into multiple streams that are then separated by the counterflow. Works great for single setups with classified material but I am thinking that for a mixed stream with preclassification built in I need to let the material drop into holding hoppers while staying submerged and somehow feed the final stages from those. For controlling the flow a simple gravity system should work where either the height of the feeds of water vary or the reservoir is fixed with control on the flow via constriction. Since the goal is a fixed velocity of the water in each case it needs a controlled metering of material to avoid influencing flow too much from overfeeding.

Oh, and by less complex I mostly mean the vortex motor and the pre-removal of magnetite. As long as the classification is tight enough the separation should be very clean even with the magnetite in the stream. The hard part will also be to make a nice and easy way to remove the finished product. I don't really see any way to avoid the batch processing same as the original Gold Drop and this new vortex version. The output naturally ends up at lowest point and the water above means one always has this head of water over it. I guess my only idea for extracting without having to unscrew a collector would be some sort of tube allowing the content to be sucked up externally?

@@1kreature The magnetite is not removed. I use the SpinItOff merely to show how much magnetite is in the sand. Magnetite is just a heavier matter, 5g/cm3, containing iron and acts like any mineral in the water flow that is less dense than gold, 19.3g/cm3. Prior to the Vortex Spinner I used the water mixing valves to disturb trap to get the action in the trap contributing to flushing out gold and used the Magnet Sluice filled with magnetite to snag the loss in the discharge. Innovating the Vortex Spinner and eliminated the water mixing and flushing out gold, enabling more and smaller gold to drop into the jar and retain this high-grade gold concentrate and microscopic gold in the trap, ruclips.net/video/49MNWIG6FWw/видео.html. I completed working on the scaled version of the Goldrop Vortex Spinner now to handle 400-500 lbs. per hour of 1/8"- with the same performance. A test run of 3 50lb bags of Quikrete All Purpose sand has extracted the same high-grade gold concentrate as seen in the video. I'll be producing a video soon of its use when finished modifying the prototype. Keep working on your invention. I would love to see it progress to success!

@@sluicegoosegoldrop2821 Ahh, I was confused by the magnet at the start. So it was just to demonstrate how much was in it :) Gotcha! I understand what you are doing though, and it is very effective for a mixed stream like that. I am just too focused on recovery I guess. I did the classification in multiple steps on my little foldable river sluice where I used multiple stages of vortexes molded in silicone and I got really good recovery by making sure the smaller pockets were not disturbed by larger particles/gravel. I realize now I never filmed a finished closeup video of the sluice. I should do that. I did film a video where a buddy is running the sluice with unclassified materials though: ruclips.net/video/frv2Bl3FGwo/видео.html The area has a wide distribution of particle sizes from very fine gold up to 5mm pickers making me design the sluice for the entire range.

I have tried all designs of valves. The ball valve is the only one that does not accumulate debris from the water reducing and eventually block the water flow. Consistancy of water flow is the utmost of importance to avoid having to adjust its flow due to debris buildup.

@ i figured you probably had but i never like to make an assumption and I’d rather offer the seemingly obvious in the off chance it could help and was overlooked.

Well an OMNIFox trommel and sluice setup system costs about that , and some not so rich use those. The Gold Spiral Wheel is another system that is also up there as well - or maybe not.

To be fair: if you can't make those 2.2K with gold you really don't need that machine. Then its just a toy one wants. When you need this machine then because you are processing that much material that the time savings alone will make you back those 2.2K So, don't feel sorry mate and build yourself a nice blue bowl for free. Then you have a cool toy to play around with and to show of, that is very efficient in its own rights. Or just wait untill DIY instructions come out on the Goldrop Vortex Spinner which schould happen within this year. Because its just physics and not magic ;))

@@1000-r3g Good comment

@@IAMMoNo1 Thank you :))

This model Goldrop is not capable to handle water flows from dredging. the vortex Spinner has allowed me to scale Goldrop larger and have prototyped a 4" trap from the current 2" trap. A 6' trap is next with large capacity but nothing available now other than the 2" Goldrop Vortex Spinner. I have experimented with Goldrop in a dredging senario. Go to my website, www.sluicegooseindustries.com, and scroll down the videos until you see it. That testing was accomplished 8 years ago, early crude R&D prototype of the entire process using lead and copper as my test medium, much less dense than gold and a whole lot cheaper too! It shows how sensitive to dense metals goldrop is. Silver and copper are the same density. so silver will be collected also with platinum, palladium, rhodium and all the dense pay metals and minerals too.

Here's my dredging video, ruclips.net/video/ubX9EKEwsJ8/видео.html.

Thanks, the gold drop looks to have unique advantages especially from a dredging runout scenario where if you're not continuously running material through you're losing gold.

@sluicegoosegoldrop2821 perfect👍 Thank you & happy New Year!

Give mne a call Johan, 800-507-5665. Press 0 to bypass my robocall block. We can discuss the problem.

Howdy Johan, since innovating the current Goldrop model with the Vortex Spinner, which is what you have, the Magnet Sluice has been discontinued because it is no longer needed. Using water to mix the trap contents is now accomplished by the Vortex Spinner. This has reduced water flowing through Goldrop retaining the flour gold in the trap and not washing it out into the tailings. To operate the Goldrop Vortex Spinner with sand, set the drop water flow to .2 GPM with a trickle of water to wash dirt into the trap. With the dirt fluidized in the trap. the dirt added into the funnel will displace dirt in the trap pushing it vertically up the trap column and out to the tailings. The reduced use of water with the Vortex Spinner allows for more and smaller gold to drop into the jar and remain in the trap. Processing 1/8"- will require the upper mixing water valve to be 1/2 open or so to help fluidize the larger matter. As I experiment with new ideas and improve performance, Goldrop will continue to evolve.

Yes, it increases the feed rate of material added as well and efficiency to extract smaller gold.

@@johanloots5790 I have discontinued providing them with Goldrop since innovating the Vortex Spinner. I do have some in stock for $150 with magnetite. I can sell you a SpinItOff to separate the magnetite from the mineral it captures. Get in touch, www.sluicegooseindustries. Email or call!

Thanks Steve, I appreciate your input! It's good to have an endorsment from a Goldrop owner. Your mining operation extracting glacial gold from the glacial till on your property in Maine is truly amazing to me and a testament to Goldrop's abilities.

@@jimstark1810 I have no idea the location where it was scooped up from. Bad weather experienced this last season may have washed up more gold.

The vertical flow of the elutriation water is set at different rates of flow to suspend matter of different size and density depending on the what is being observed in the drop tube. As the vertical flow of water is reduced allows the dense matter in the trap to descend down the drop tube influenced by the reduction of water flow.

That is why there are fine adjustments to water flows to allow proper separation.

Yes John I can! Email me at info@sluicegooseindustries.com with your address so I can get a quote to ship it to you.

@@ThePOTUSofMatthewEmbryBradshaw No problem! I’m in Albany. You can get hooked up with a Goldrop Vortex Spinner here, www.sluicegooseindustries.com

The Vortex Spinner made Goldrop so much more efficient not having to use water to stir the trap, the Magnet sluice is no longer needed. The paddle provides lift in the spin as well as creating a vortex. This mechanical lift eliminated the injection of water to mix the trap reducing the water flow blowing out the gold. At the same time, the funnel water is reduced using less water to wash the dirt down the feed tube. So much less water flowing through Goldrop keeps the gold and other dense matter in the trap or drops into the jar. I have now achieved what my original consept entailed. the dirt is fluidized enough to allow the incoming dirt at a higher level to displace the dirt in the trap to be goosed up and out gently leaving the dense matter, gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, mercury lead, copper and others behind in the trap or jar.

John in the future, could you go over your tailings again to make sure that mixer is working properly and you have no gold exiting I am skeptical that the gold has escaped. Please show a demonstration of running your tailings again to convince me and your audience. Thank you.

@@bigmark1957 That is standard proceedure. There is no skepticism about missing gold! All the gold is not extracted the first go-around. I classify the tailings to 50 mesh and process the classified tailings back through Goldrop Vortex Spinner using less water to extract the very fine flour gold from the smaller class tailings that is not extracted from the 1/8"- pay dirt from the first process. Not much there to make a video of. The tiny flour gold particles end up as white specs not recognizable as gold when videoed or photographed which raises skepticism as well about what is being seen.

I really think you need to show a tailings video regardless of what you say seeing is Thank you believing if I’m going to purchase a $2000 plus machine thank you

@@bigmark1957 No need! Standard proceedure is to classify tailings smaller and run the classified tailings back through Goldrop to extract the flour gold still in the tailings. Normally I classify to -6, --35 and -100 and process each class to get the gold out. Smaller matter requires less waterflow for separation. The Golden rule is with matter of equal size, dense gold will drop out while the less dense matter stays aloft in the elutriation process.

Stay Tuned! I am editing a video today where I process 350 lbs of Cape Disappointment, magnetite loaded, black beach sand. You can see for yourself black sand stands no chance of hanging on to its gold processed through Goldrop Vortex Spinner!

@@WfrankWalter if you have a Goldrop, I can sell you a Vortex Spinner. www.sluicegooseindustries.com.
