🎉 Perdomo Lot 23. Connecticut indeed. Great catch.

I take it you're not married 🤣

Appreciate it

Sure did. Next video is the micro gold clean up sluice! Spoiler: Found gold in the crushed ore!

Put us Northern part time prospectors on the map. He's a legend.

I had it backwards the first time through lol. Here's a link that shows the arrows face the top. prospectorsdream.com/products/micro-pocket-sluice

Thanks. I just do this as a hobby when I have the time. Appreciate the offer.

It's the Rockler Silicone MAt. I have a bunch of them and they're awesome. Here's a link: amzn.to/3YMmLee

Totally agree. I just have a mental disorder where I can't pass up a 'bargain.' I am really getting into sharpening and love trying different methods. Problem is...I stink at all of them. The worksharp products ar ethe best out there for a guy like me. Quick, simple and repeatable. Definitely better methods out there, but I get the best results with the worksharp benchstones.

@@AnArmAndAGreg Nothing wrong with worksharp, almost all the stuff they make is awesome. Doesnt the sharpal guides help though?

@@kvernesdotten Absolutely! The Sharpal guides are the only reason I prefer stones over electric methods. Much more room for error and very easy to use.

Looking forward to it. Initial tests are looking promising.

Thanks, FGW! Really appreciate it. Should be running material this weekend. Re-ran my blue bowl material (Blue Bowl video coming soon) and the Micro Gold Sluice captured some gold I blew out of the bowl!

Appreciate it

Thanks! Definitely comes in handy. Used mine this week to till up the garden before it snows.

Nice!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the kind words. Note: This is NOT a comment from my mom.

Thanks! Will do!

Sorry it took a few days, but I dropped the link to the disposable brushes in the description. you could also get them at Michael's or Hobby Lobby.

@@AAAAAAHH thanks. I'll take a look. They're working for me so I'll have to find a way to get them public

You have a better sense of humor than my wife :)

Glad you liked it.

Thanks for watching. I agree!😅 I learn a ton from reading the comments and suggestions.

Thanks a ton! I love making them.

What's hers is hers and what's mine is hers!

I have a crude drawing of the cells in the video. You can just hook your power supply to just one cell to charge it up. I use automotive spade connectors to fit into the slot and hook my test lead wire clips to those. Depending on the input voltage, a single cell can typically charge in about 10 minutes to get to the minimum needed to use a normal m12 charger.

@@AnArmAndAGreg OK I'm going to give it a shot. Thank you !!! DC variable power supply is on the way; thanks amazon :) lol. Lastly, to charge that stubborn middle cell (just to recap), set the voltage on the charger to 4 or 5 and the amps to 1 or 2, and safely let her charge for what... 30 mins ish? This isn't my first rodeo with electronics, but I don't want to destroy/lose this practically brand new milwaukee battery... I think the company should remedy this issue with their 6.0's!... Anyhow, let me know and thank you again!

@@donjuandetrumpo That's what I would do. I would check the voltage every 5 min or so until you get a feel. I've had some stubborn cells that have taken 30 min before. I believe the voltages for all 3 cells have to be +/- .5V (made that up, but it is something similar) from each other or the M12 charger will blink. Good luck!

@@AnArmAndAGreg Do you have a video of charging individual cells?

@@ngk330 To charge just an individual cell, check out the drawing in the video. I just hook up the positive lead to the faulty cell and the negative lead to the next cell (or ground for cell three) to charge it up close to the other cells. Then, once they're all close to the same charge, you can charge the remainder on the Milwaukee charger. Hope this helps!

great tip. Thanks!

Thanks. Appreciate the help.

Will do. Putting it in the water this week for a leak check.

I second that. Love the restoration videos.

We just painted the boat and flipped it right side up. I'll film us building the deck. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks. Felt good to be back.

I am admittedly pretty bad at panning. That's why I like paydirt. Helps me get some practice. 🤣

Totally agree. Thanks again.

A little too late to the comments but I just found the video 😅

Thanks a ton! I've been really busy with kids activities. I filmed a bunch of videos--I've just been too lazy to edit them. I'll start putting more out in a week or two once he kids are back in school! Thanks again.

A 1958 Alumacraft...unfortunately no drain plug.

😂

Glad it helped. Just used it last night with an 8 ahr battery with temp and humidity off and still had 2 bars left.

D'oh!

Sorry. Didn't post my reply correctly the first time: I think it depends on what you want to use it for. The discharge pressure is about 35 psi. The average home plumbing is 30-50+, so it's similar to a house hose on the low end. The flow rate is listed as 480 gph. The typical household hose is 300-600, so it's right in the middle. It's not listed as drinking water safe, but it looks like it will work for most household water tasks. Not sure what a nozzle or sprayer does to the outlet flow rate or how it impacts the longevity of the pump...but it sure is convenient.

I find that if it's close, you'll be able to dial in micro adjustments after checking with the blade edge checker. Kids have hockey camp coming up, so I'll do another video when I get the spark down from the attic. Hopefully this helps.

@@AnArmAndAGreg that would be great, thank you! Didn’t even realize I need the checker since I was relying on the optical tool only. Also for flare blades there isn’t even a reliable checker out there it seems :/

You are exactly correct. Funny story: When I first went to a learn-to-gold pan event at a local club many years ago, the old-timer there said Stra-Tis-Fy, not stratify. We had fun with it and my kids kept saying "Stratisfy to satisfy," and "I can't get no Stratis-faction," so it stuck as an homage to those old timers that taught me. I'll probably keep on saying it--and part of me laughs every time I hear myself, but it's a fun little nod to a memorable family vacation ;) Maybe I'll clarify in a future video to eliminate confusion, but it's fun to be a little devious.

Dish soap is an exceptional surfactant. However, it suds. The advantage of using jet dry or rinse aid is that it doesn't cloud the water with a bunch of bubbles. I use it in a pinch or when I'm seasoning a new pan.

I have a ton of gold pans I've accumulated over the years. I've started 3D printing my own now.
