Finally! Drop riffles get the recognition they deserve. I've been using them for years. Mother nature had it right all along. Create a crevice and gold will drop into it.
And those garnets looked kind of Gemmy compared to some I have seen. Those bigger ones might be worth polishing a bit instead of making sand paper out of them.
This is so interesting! I'm new to all of this and am enjoying watching your videos immensely. Your editing style is very fun and entertaining, as well.
I don’t have anywhere close to go looking for gold on a creek so it’s fun to get to watch you out finding it. I love the ring. I love ceramics and sculpting things is so fun and relaxing.
I use a flat spoon because that's the spoon that I had. I learnt how to stand on it so the corner of the leading edge is what gets driven down through the gravel and rocks. Works for me. Thanks for sharing Chris. Tome for me to go for a float down the Ovens 😊
So I’ve been watching your videos recently and decided to get a pan and give it a go. One shovel of dirt/gravel from the front yard last night and sure enough there was gold in it!
I enjoyed a box similar to this in Idaho, I think it was made in Canada, and was hard to find in stock anymore. It did very well with both gold and garnets and some saphires. It was slightly longer than yours, but still lightweight and convenient to hike in to locations. It had a couple aluminum bars across the top so you could add a large rock onto it to keep it firmly planted and not wash away with the water flow. Placing my pan below its output when lifting it worked well as it was easy for the contents to wash out during lifting to clean it out.
Chris , as much as I enjoyed the past few year's worth of videos, I'm enjoying your "freestyle" concepts more. Carry-on Dude... Chris k. Balazs in Ohio...
The Angus McKirk sluices are really good, but you do have to mind them more than others as they will clean themselves out much more quickly than other sluices. I have 3 main sluices that I enjoy. The McKirk is one. They are much more particular about being set up correctly so stuff doesn't blow out. But given your tin issue, I think it is a good sluice to really reduce down to good concentrates without so much tin. But, again, you have to watch it more closely.
I don't worry too much and slam my drop riffle pretty fast at about a ten degree drop. Still retains the fines and there is a lot of black sand around here. I'm using the Geo Calif. River Sluice though. It has three slightly different widths of drop riffle and triangular indicators up top.
Great video Chris. Cheers for the shout out on the basket. I need to get you the upsized 10lt classifier. The one you have is the original smaller one.
Angus is our got to in North Carolina. 😂Light durable and super easy to set. Provided it’s not sticky clay, that little monster chews unclassified material at high water velocity. Cheers mate
That is an old tech. I have used one for years. I used to have one that you could shovel into. The issue with the Angus MacKirk is the company was sold to a Canadian company and the new owner has Effed off the company. Really you can not get them anymore unless you buy used or old new stock. I loved mine. I only have one left as someone stole some of my equiptment. On the scooping area I used an adhesion promotor and painted the that area black. (Bulldog adhesion promotor made by klean strip is the best of the best).
Saw a video from about 3 months ago and saw your difficulty with transporting your gear. In Canada here hockey kids get a great big duffle bag that is extra strong. They then use the handles like back pack straps and carry it on their back and it is a lot easier to carry the massive amounts of equipment. Just a thought to
2017-2025.... Chris explaining to us the same things but like in a more mature kinda way... gravity is your friend, sluices like the V, classify that shite and gold is dense. Love the evolution of the channel! ✍🏻
I can predict a lot of home-made and 3D-printed designs attempted, Chris, especially if the particular manufacturers of the drop riffle sluice shown aren't presently producing them. That there's all sizes and shapes of gold getting caught, as well as the less dense among the gems in the zone getting caught, but not the cassiterite of the varied sizes, that's truly good. A remaining couple of questions would be to do with scale of the width of the sluice and the length, per the amount and the scale of fineness or courseness the classification requires, finer riffles may catch the finer gold without the larger elements disrupting the oscillation, that they'd be too large to fall in, and the larger spacing riffles classify the larger elements using the same oscillations, and the denser items stay. The riffles can be viewed as like a belly button, innies or outies. Definitely easier to see their contents and action. Excellent info, succinct, and bork that 40°c sun, son! Cheerio now. Young fella, I was mildly taken aback with the antique drinking glass waviness observation, but although we're nearing our mid 50s we could've easily handled us being in our mid 1850s!! 👍

Lol paused at 0:21 Although i wouldn't want those high Australian temperatures in two days our temps here are forcasted to be in the -20's to lows of -30's C. Back to the video, i have a couple months to emerse myself in knowledge before i can start applying it. Thank you for the content
It’s made by angus mackirk it was a USA company but was sold to a company in Canada who went out of business you can still find them on Amazon and other places but I don’t think they are being manufactured anymore sadly
Get yourself a Geo California River Sluice. The longer one. It has three different widths of drop riffle plus some Vee indicators up top. They are light weight and very forgiving of angle and flow, despite what he said. Been running one four summers now.
I bought myself a Le Trap Mini whic is the closest thing to this, nearly identical but perhaps a little less quality. I used goldilocks on the front plate to scrape it and mimic those placement riffles and it works well. Thing weighs 500 grams which means i can go tramping with it and get it to hard to reach places its brilliant
There certainly are High Gravity Sluice Designs. Check out HydroCyclonic or Centrifugal type sluices. They are 1/10th the length, run 10x faster, and develop 10x - 100x Gravity. They represent the only Gravity altering sluice designs around that I am aware of.
My 2 gold hunting partners and I lost more gold due to beer than equipment design. We would finish up right before dark, pan everything down to concentrates, and then set the pan on the tailgate of the truck while we secured our dredge or highbanker. We would then drive to the beer joint, forgetting the pan on the tailgate.
Hey thanks I live in an area that has really fine gold. That flour gold is kind of a pain. Got any recommendations for good equipment to find it? Thanks
@royjohnson465 thank you that looks like it would be a lot easier to carry around in a backpack as well. I like how you could actually see in that one as well and don't have to have a mat in it.
@@vikingskuld ~ Yes very light weight plastic for backpacking and no matting, no carpet and no removable riffles. Yes the riffles can be openly viewed better. They are very good for catching fine flour glacier gold but they have to be set up properly.
Hi Chris, get yourself an Angus Mackirk drop riffle "wedgie" it is my favorite of the 2 A.M. drop riffle sluices I own. The other is a "Boss II". I like the Wedgie because the end fits into a 5 gallon (U.S. here) bucket for a perfect clean up every time. Gold luck. Brian
I am repeating myself here because I have already posted the same thing above. The heavy duty plastic Angus MacKirk “drop riffle” (or two step, dual ramp design with the Abyss) sluices are all out of production and no longer made. The gray coloured ones were better than the black ones. Luckily I have 11 Angus MacKirk sluices. Not as heavy of plastic but Geo Sluice Mining is the only place that I know of that has plastic drop riffle sluices available.
Blowing out, if you could pick it up and collect a run once concentrate into a bucket. The dam has the be stable. I'd think each handful would rumble the... OK. Good result.
When running that type an you see your gold apon your trip back use your snuffer to clean the ripple rather than pulling tray out or letting it ride threw alll your buckets
I suppose that sluice is also handy when those sluice box users come after you 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it will make a great shield. So Chris, who makes that sluice and do they sell it in Australia?
Angus Mackirk or A.M. I have two that I use here in Colorado, USA. Wedgie and Boss 2 Wedgie is my favorite for easy cleanups because it fits inside a 5 gal. Bucket for cleanup. Unfortunately they are no longer sold in the U.S. Market new.
Lol I'll trade places with u..lol it's what 10 degrees outside 😅 That's fahrenheit so it's what negative 5 celsius. Not mining anything right now but snow😂

I'm a beginner as well and, much like this video, brought myself a gravity sluice, one called the Le Trap Mini, pretty close to this although Chris' one looks slightly more quality. The Mini works well and is light as hell (500g) so its absolutely easy to carry and great for getting started imo
Thanks for another great video! I was wanting to order a Stumpy Picks sluice, like you use, I found their website, and emailed them and asked them if they shipped to the USA. They answered, very short, 'yes, we do ship to the states'. I expected, 'yes, it's around $100 Aus'. I emailed them again, and asked them how much would shipping be to my address. It's been almost a week, and I'm still waiting for a response. I think I'll go a different route, and go with a company with good customer support. Maybe they just had a bad day, who knows? An email reply only takes less than a minute.

Mother nature makes the best why not take advantage and concentrate the material before you put it and whatever device you’re using. If you get in the creek and stir the stuff up with your feet the material wash your way if you throw the rocks out the lighter stuff wash your way . Then you will have concentrates.
Dream Mat rules. The mat could have a drop riffle halfway down it to make it the ultimate 100% capture system 🤔. You heard it here first folks 😉. Cheers 🍻
Chris, I hate to pop your bubble, but gold prices are very much linked to inflation. What one gram of gold will buy today is likely the same as what it will buy at the end of the year. If I buys seven pounds of prime T-bone steak now, it will likely buy the same later unless something strange happens to beef pricing like mad cow disease. The sweet thing about gold is THAT IT IS VERY STABLE IN VALUE. Whereas our crazy fiat currency is not. In my seven decades on this crazy blue marble, I have been so poor that I tend to use the "one pack of smokes" base for value instead of gold which is out of my price range and surprisingly It has been nearly accurate except for one crazy smoke tax period. But yeah, I always looked at my wages and converted to packs of smokes to see if I am gaining or losing ground and so those who are not as poor should do the same with gold since that is likely a better comparison over the ages. Best to ya Mate.
