    Your video is the most enjoyable I’ve seen in ages... I just want to find some gold in my creek here in a very Geothermal region between Cobb Mt And Mt St Helena called Anderson Springs. I’ve got property with no cabin since the Valley Fire, with the deepest pool on bedrock that erosion has changed 8 seasons in a row, after virtually no change in my 65 yrs. grandpa built the cabin as his escape from grandma in the 29s and 30s...I had to make it my home in 2010. Grandpa found quite a bit while building the cabin and swore to me that I would find the secret ...I was 10! He told me in my 60s. I’m 65, and want to rebuild that simple life. Living in a Toy hauler is fine, but it’s a bit too tight, and I can’t have my trailer on my property without a dwelling. Gotta luv Lake Co Code Enforcement! My 39k had to be spent on renting in a tiny RV PARK,...That was NIT MY PLAN, lol ...such is life! Before I lose my vision completely, I want to have fun trying to chase a little dream. Lol😇 THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTELLIGENCE, YOU GAVE A DASH OF A SPECIAL “legend” hope!

    hey man just wanted to stop by and say nice table. i like the extras you did for the battery pack and all too its not a bad idea at all. if you decide to do a box for ac power for when your home you can always just use fan controllers from lowes menards home depot. or if you like your own wiring you can use rheostats aka dimmer switches if you didnt know.
    also as for the flexors. look into scooter parts gy6 50cc or the 150cc the parts are dirt cheap and you can use their torque drive or clutch springs for your base. the 50cc stuff is pretty strong the 150cc is really strong and the 2 stroke stuff is inbetween. they may be a bit bouncier than the flat stock but will last forever and move more fluidly.

    cool build, If going to the desert, I would take something that concentrates and does more production, then bring back the cons to your machine. It will not do as much production running desert material as you expect, i don't believe. I make concentrators, on my other channel, that would do much more production, Spike's prospecting Equipment! Great build and details! I mold ABS parts!

    • @orophilia
      @orophilia  2 года назад +2

      Yeah, you could be right. I have a few days off next week to check it out in the desert. I'll take the machine with me but I'll leave it at the cabin. I'll collect some classified material from various locations and run it through the machine in the evening. Great to know that you mold ABS! Thanks.

  • @1kreature
    @1kreature 2 года назад +1

    That was awesome!
    I think the fine gold vs the sand and heavies is still not within the same "scale" though. For full separation you can't have a gold particle smaller than 1/2 to 1/3 the size of the largest heavy and the 1/3 is really pushing it. Try running it with classified material within this size ratio and tune water for that and I think you will be surprised.

    • @orophilia
      @orophilia  2 года назад +1

      Yeah good comment. I have a lot to discover about various types of material. I won’t be able to get out to the desert for another three weeks. I’m going to see how the apparatus really works

    • @1kreature

      @@orophilia I just wish I had a goldsource anywhere near here.
      I get to go to a goldcamp two times a year tops, and it's a 4 day stay with a 16 hour roundtrip.
      Built my own vortex matting and classifying sluice though, and it works a treat.
      The classification is really important to allow the shaking and water to handle the particles differently. Since gold is 19.3g/ml while the heaviest sulfides and black sand is up to maybe 7g/ml (tin sulfide 5.3, lead sulfide 7.6, hematite 5.26 and pure iron 7.8) a round-ish particle twice the diameter of a gold particle starts to act the same. Any larger difference and it's a random game of bounce the particles.
      I've always been pondering some sort of screen system on a shaker table to automatically screen the material into very tight classifications so they can drop on different regions of the table with correct waterflow to separate perfectly. Would be beautiful to watch.

    We've been beach mining in Nome Alaska for more than 10 years. We've developed several iterrations of a 12 vot portable mini-sluice for prospecting. Always looking for something better and faster. Your demonstration is very interesting. I admire your ability as a craftsman. I am not capable of building such a fine machine. How about a simpler solution? Have you thought about using an acoustic speaker and a vfo to drive the vibration?

    • @orophilia
      @orophilia  Год назад +3

      That is quite an interesting idea! Yes, the idea with a sluice is to keep the material in a state of partial liquefaction, and the acoustically-induced vibration should do that. I'll give it a try. Sound like fun. -- Dave

  • @KristianHerner
    @KristianHerner 2 года назад +3

    Very interesting! I am curious about how much design you put into the shaking action itself? The asymmetrical gearing you show should produce an equal-speed back-and-forth shaking of the deck, but I feel there is huge potential in designing a shaking motion that is fast in one direction and slow in the other. Something akin to tapping a pan? I am only theorizing here, though. Thoughts?

    • @orophilia
      @orophilia  2 года назад +1

      Hi Kristian. Yes, I agree, there is some potential here for innovation. I'm trying several other methods of moving the table with more of an impulsive force. Asymmetry is the key. Thanks for the comment.

    • @jimnelson7740
      @jimnelson7740 Год назад

      As long as the center of the motor axle is offset from the pivot point on the table, there is some difference in motion forward and back due to the geometry. It will move faster in one direction.

      Hi Dennis, Both the pump and the motor are 12V devices, but I use the voltages to them to adjust the rate of water flow and the rate of shaking of the table. So, I typically run the pump at 8V and the table at 14V. That gives the best overall performance. -- Dave

      Black sand comes from the magnetite, hematite and dark sulfides in eroded ore bodies.

    Not trying to pic shit, just give you a heads up and tell you Aluminium will work harden so it will crack, you can either change to stainless steel or just keep replacing all 4 of the Aluminium if you see one crack, but I would take some with you at all times because you know it will happen while your away from home.

      Hi Gavin, I've switched to Garolite for the flexures. Garolite is a trade name for epoxy-fiberglass and should last more than the life of the table. It works very well. You can see it in action in my latest table video.

      If I understand your question, you're asking why I use only 50-100 mg of gold. Well, that's more than enough to get the job done. I'd rather use less because that would be more representative of the actual concentrations that we mine. At 10 ppm, using one kilogram of beach sand, we would expect to get 10 mg of gold. In the end, it's just a test of the efficacy of the table.

    High there !
    First of all ..... I have to disappoint you ,- and the whole hobby mining community ......
    There is for "average" person almost no chance to build a really working shaker table for fine Gold .....
    Why .....?!
    The physics and behavior of concentrate melange with fine Gold is ( and that with a obviously simpel
    gravitation influence ) so difficult ,- that it needs a real S-table design ( even there with preparation of
    the material) to separate the Gold in ONE "strike" !
    These table comes with quiet some costs !!
    It will help to read the "bible" of "Mineral Dressing" ( Taggart) ....... ( 1000 pages)
    But to the next disappointment ..... there is no majorwise news since 1954 ......
    We watch Jason for a while ... and his table have a different setting then yours .....
    And obviously not even on the point ....
    He is realy good in his work ( may we try to arrange a meeting at his place ..... will see )
    Your handicraft is good ....so the critics are all around the principle of the hydro mechanical execution ..
    The details are not easy ,- and easy to build .....
    Your assumption ,- with the aluminum "spring" support , is not correct in the way of purpose ....as an
    example .... it is way more to it .......unfortunately 🤥😪
    Don't hasitate ,- if you have questions

      Hi Rigel and the Team. Can you please give me more information about who you are and what interesting stuff you're working on? The table that I built works well in certain situations and not in others. I don't think either of us are surprised by that. I've been able to separate gold particles down to 250 microns (60 mesh) from black sand and heavy sulfides using the table, but recovery rates drop for gold particles smaller than that. Of course, it also depends on how the table is set up and used, and how aggressive the separation is. As you know, I don't manufacture the tables nor do I claim that others should make one. I don't understand your statement about the Aluminum flexures (springs). It works as I've demonstrated. The shaking rate, shaking amplitude and water flow rate and distribution are quite important.
      This is a YT channel for entertainment only. I make no other claims.
      I'm looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks for the excellent comment. I'm always interesting in learning more from the folks that make this their life. -- Dave
