Testing the Keene A52S Super Sluice After Conversion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- This is my first time testing my Keene A52 sluice since I converted it to a Keene A52S Super Sluice. It likes to be fed material, and lots of it! No more classifying material before I feed it into the sluice. It likes a lot of water flowing through it.
The adjustable legs makes setting up the sluice so much easier! I no longer need to put a weight on top of the sluice to hold it in place. The adjustable legs were a huge improvement by itself!

Ive got a 8 by 24 inch maddog sluice box that catches some pretty much powder gold , truly enjoyed the video........
Thank you for watching. I get busy in 2021 and make several videos.
Friday was the first day we had warm weather good to see you got out and found some gold stay healthy👊👍✌😎
Supposed to be nice here on Sunday. Headed out metal detecting.
@@SilverSleuth very cool I don't see a warm up till Monday or Tuesday hammer down some gold good luck with your metal detecting
gracias por el video !!!!
Thank you!
我很喜欢这个视频，谢谢你！
Dont worry your not missin out on much out here in the west. Hardly any nuggets left in the streams out here. Slim pickins
Is that what yall call flour gold.. that's pickers compared to Louisiana you better get your jewelers loop out for what im finding in my creeks.. Also I need to try a high banker setup.. water here is cloudy knee to thigh high low speed and always trys to float my a52 away.. the only way I not the creeks here is enter at a bridge and stay within the banks can't get out of creek channel.
In Michigan also. Do you still like your conversion? I had a a52 from 30 or so years ago and just retrofitted it like yours.
None of the spots I work for gold are close to where I park my vehicle. I carry the sluice and my other gear a distance. It gets heavy after carrying it and the rest of my gear.
All of the gold in Michigan except for a couple of places is all flour gold.
I’m going back to classifying my material before I run it through. I will be trying some dream mat I picked up over the winter.
Grüße aus Old Germany , i have the Keen A52 TOP :-)
Have ya thought about splitting up your cons and panning a little bit at a time...
Have you been able to make the super sluice work in smaller, slower creeks?
I use it in slower creeks. But......you have to push the rocks through. To mean, it’s less work to push the rocks through the super sluice instead of classifying material first, then running it through a sluice.
The A52 works best in fast water, the faster the better. You really want it fast enough to push 3" rocks and smaller right on thru. With 5 or 6 different capture mechanisms in one sluice, no gold is gonna escape out the back.
I am just starting out panning. Went up to Maniatee River a little tributary feeding the river. I clarified out the rocks and brought home the mud but would like someone who has experience show what to look for
Find the gravel areas and areas that have larger rocks in it. Look for inside bends and behind large boulders. Gold will wash through faster sections and drop out where it slows down.
@Jack Cool it shows you replied again, but your message doesn't show up. Not sure where its at.
@@SilverSleuth it was on a different video. Testing the Keene A52 super sluice... asking a this is a good sluice to start. I have some buckets of black dirt that will got when I visited Lake Michigan. I haven’t done anything with them
@@jackcool3200 a gold cube is the best thing for running beach sand through. You can use a sluice for it, but the fine gold that’s in the black sand will wash through. When panning black sand do a tiny bit at a time. Otherwise, you will wash it out of your pan.
@@SilverSleuth do you have a link to purchase to give you credit
If I could give you some advice when working with flower gold you need to classify your material before you run it through your sluice. Second way to much material being run threw your sluice at one time your not giving the gold a chance to drop before it gets pushed past your sluice box. The last advice is had you took the time to classify your material you wouldn't have all the rocks in your clean up pan. And you only need one drop of jet dry it goes along way. Too much jet dry will have the opposite effect and actually push your flower gold out of the pan. If you try what I recommend you will see way more flower gold at the end of the clean up. Hope this helps have a great day.
That a great set up! I’m in Wisconsin I have the mini max keen 3 in one. I wonder if a person can get the upgrades for the sluice?
@Anthony Clark I have another video that shows how to upgrade it to the super sluice. The part numbers are listed in the description. 😉
It’s an easy upgrade.
Silver Sleuth Awesome I will have to look for it. Thanks and best of luck prospecting!
I just ordered this puppy.. 2 to 3 week waiting time before it'll ship because of slowed production just a head up for anyone thinking about getting it
@Rylan Duncan it likes a LOT of current to work properly. Mark Keene said to run it deep in the water. He told me I needed more water flow. You end up with 2 different water speeds going through it. It’s slower under the screen/punch plate and faster on top.
The grill on the front will get small pebbles stuck in it. If you run it for a couple of hours in an area with lots of pebbles/small stones, you will want to clean the front grill. A standard screwdriver will push them out. 😉
@@SilverSleuth awesome thanks for the tips!
Did you add on the legs and screens? I have a A52 and just wanted to get the extra parts. Thanks
@Jessgo33 I added all the parts to my A52. I made a video on adding the parts to the A52 to make it an A52S.
Back end is too high ????????
Why the jet dry
Flour gold will float. The jet dry breaks down the elasticity of the water so the gold will not float.
hey Sleuth, does the vortex dream mat fit under your grizzly?
@V Quayle I have ribbed matting not dream mat.
Why wouldn't they just make the screen the whole length now you got big ass rocks bouncing on the mats and gold what the hell
That’s what I was thinking!
@@SilverSleuth I bought this sluice to with the classy i think Im going to put piece a piece of ply wood or sheet metal there
Hello
Did you find gold? YES! Worth time and expense?
@Dwayne Lowery gold mining in Michigan is just a hobby. Did I find gold? I found some flour gold so to me, it was worth the time and expense. It’s a hobby that I enjoy doing. I had a 2 week trip planned in July to go out west prospecting. Unfortunately, this covid 19 has changed my plans. Next year I will do the trip.
Man that is alot of work get some silicone mats or some thing so you only got one mat to clean
Normally I shovel into a classifying screen into a 5 gallon bucket, then feed the classified material into the sluice. Now I shovel directly into the sluice. It still has the same amount of carpet/matting as what it did before I did the conversion. If I don’t have enough current, I’ll run my old ruffles and old carpeting.
working upper or lower mich
grant haney Southwest part of the state. 😉
What the heck,thats is your set up,oh men
Dude you had that sluce setup all sorts of wrong 😳
