Hi Brian. I Love gravity dredging. We found that it is best to remove the nozzle and let the line breathe from time to time to maximize the flow rate and let it clear the box. Also we used a crash box on our sluice instead of a flare. It's works great with 4 ft min of fall. The problem with gravity is when a rock gets on the end of the nozzle it slows the flow way down. You can't hog material, you have to sip it. Name of the game is to keep max flow at all times with the occasional let her run free time. Love watching your videos. Wish you all the best.
Smooth pipe also works best for gravity feed.
Would using 4in pipe as the supply, but necked down to supply pressure to a 3in suction nozzle or even a 2in be better or make no difference at all?
Good info, thanks!
@@El-Diablo-Blanco If you narrow the inlet, suction power is lost.
Smart Idea 💡 with the green mini in your regular box to get rid of those rocks!
I used what I had. Thanks for watching!
Awsome stuff brother smaller box would work perfectly
For sure!
Still doing the rolling thunder down hills🤠👌🇵🇷
Thanks for watching!
Oh Heavypans right there Bryan, I’ve seen those RPE sluices running full river speed just dumping buckets and fetching super fine flour gold, it can handle the water you got going 100% 🤙🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸
It did capture gold, even at the high flow rate.
Hi Bryan, GTSY! Eco-dredging. It is environmentally friendly and economical. It's smart and quiet. All around, it's a winner. WTG! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
glad to see you are still kicking ass brother!
Thanks for watching!
Love the idea !! Just Sluice It !!
Thanks for watching!
@@AmericanGoldProspectors a 2 piece would be nice
Bryan, that is some pretty gold. So yellow and beautiful. Gotta get more of that!
Thanks for watching!
Ah so your alive and well am glad we need more content of dreding bud
Thanks for watching!
Looked like a blast! Liked the way you hear that picker in the bottom of the pan⛏️⛏️👍
Man you can tell how much fun you are having messing with different configurations. Good stuff!
Thanks!
Hey Bryan, I suggest increasing the angle of the sluice to allow rocks to flow out. Gushing water over the box will blow out the gold. Your rifles will easily handle a 10-degree pitch. My Gold Rattler operates at 12 degrees and far less water. Give it a try ? 👍 Also, if can get a hold of some punch plate, it will make more slick than that metal grating.
I tried and it didn't work. Thanks for watching!
that's incredible, Brian👀😆👀Git Dat Goooold Brother 🦾🇺🇸👌😎
Thanks for watching!
@@AmericanGoldProspectors I'm Not Gonna miss your videos, Brian;( Not unless I'm Diggin M'self)😆😎🦾🇺🇸‼️
Perfect timing. I was revisiting your zip line video this morning (I’m in the process of setting up a variation on that), and I thought you were about to do another one. 😂 that is, until I saw you wheel the hose down the embankment. 😂. Great stuff, Bryan. Thanks for continuing to put these videos together.
Glad it was helpful!
Oooo welcome back! Excited to watch this!
Thanks!
Another good video Bryan, I always look forward to seeing that notification about your latest adventures.
Thanks for watching!
New stuff. Thanks Bryan
Thanks for watching!
Good to see video miss your videos
Thanks for watching!
Another great video Bryan!
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Heck yeah! Nice job!
Rock on!
Heck yeah you got out and got some yella. 🤙🇺🇸
Oh ya!
Wicked! I spent a few days at coos campground 2 weeks ago. Crazy how much the river has changed this year. I wanted to go check out the spot i showed you on lidar but all the logging roads were closed due to washouts. Great vid.....leave me some gold!
When I get back maybe we can get to it with my ATV and dirt bike!
Awesome idea if ya got a small waterfall.. the highbanker would work great!! I just built one out of an antique small enamel tub.. has a 4" inlet so I could use the dredge motor.. I bet that would've worked great!! Awesome vid Brotha
Cool idea!
Great video bro, I really appreciate it because I’ve been thinking about setting up a gravity dredge for a long while. After watching numerous videos, most of them encounter a lot of problems. I think in the ideal situation it could work but rally have to have the perfect spot and enough hose, nice gold!
For sure!
That looks like fun Bryan, great job as always. Nice lookin gold.
Thanks 👍
Perhaps some gold collected in the ribs of the flex pipe or you could line the pipe with miners moss. Wonder how yo could check it out. Might end up being the mother of all sluices. It`s very entertaining watching videos of people going out hunting for gold. I want some too.
I’d be stunned if the majority of gold was not in that pipe.
@Fdeubcfhbbjhfd perhaps turn the pipe inside out and try it and see what happens?
Could use some of the flexible corrugated plastic drainage/agriculture pipe. I think some of it comes with a split down the middle so you could pry it open for a peek.
The inside of the hose is smooth.
You just need a tender Brian. I volunteer!
Nice
I think the full length punch plate is your issue! Maybe just try having it over the first top carpet section then after that just riffels and moss?
Maybe, Thanks for watching!
Let it be known I am 2nd comment, here in under five minutes and 9th like 😂😂 Let’s Go Bryan! I need more paydirt lol😂
Thanks for watching!
Good luck on your on your on your goals digging you’re a hard worker. I’ll say that you’re a bloody hard worker.
@@challanger275 thanks man
That was a great vudeo Brian! Looks like NH someplace.
Always wanted to see a gravity fed rig. I wonder if you has stuck with the 66' then tried the smaller box. Rather then adding in additional hose.
Did you need a venturi put on the suck end of the hose, or did the water just flowing into the hose through your metal pipe create the suction? You never showed entire pipe so i didnt know if there is the second curve of venturi on it or not.
Would adding a flare on intake help?
I think a crash box would work better.
Curious if you set it back together and had that bigger sluice at a steeper angle but under water. Have the water in the rapids over the sides completely see if that works. Smaller sluice is the easy answer.
I'm just going to try with a smaller box next time.
Sweet!
Thanks!
Could you run 100ft of the smaller green hose and get all the suction you need?
Gold
Thanks for watching!
Did you find any more gold in the riffles of the corrugated hose or does it clean itself out pretty well?
Its smooth on the inside.
Soooo nonmotorized means it would be legal in California?
No, Cali says no dredging at all. Not non-motorized dredging
You need to set the box up so yr still getting river current aswell and dam it up as you do that will add to the syphon
That would help for sure!
You back in New England with this rig ? SO FAR in Maine they are ignoring this in areas where motors are banned.
get rid of the rises in the hose section if you can, more suction the flatter you can lay the hose.
Will gold get cought in the ripples of the hose ,sorry I just started.
What area is this set up? Nice rock. No fumes or noise.
New Hampshire
Isn't it bering sea time? Summer?
Saveing for gas in the truck.
Very nice
Reduce the size of the pipe start with a 4 inch at the box then go to 3inch and a 2 inch with a 2inch nozzle
@Fdeubcfhbbjhfd and u won't need to classify to clear the box
@Fdeubcfhbbjhfd and u need about a quarter mile off pipe
2 inch wouldn't move enough material for me. 4 inch is the smallest I'll use.
4" PVC for couplers?
Not sure if that would work.
he sounds like charlie day, but doesnt look like him at all!
Haha, Thanks for watching!
that sucks
For sure!
Hey man what is the name of the hose and who sells it? Thanks
Look up Tigerflex
