Make Your Own Gold Bars Mini Long Tom Mini Long Tom Sluice Box Gold Nugget Traps 34.5 in. BackPacking - 2 lbs - 3 oz

Mini Long Tom Sluice - The MLT has (for years) been a popular sluice. Due to it's versatility and portability. Working well as prospecting tool, small scale production unit, as well as a cleaner. Reducing bulk concentrates from a primary recovery device. (i.e Larger sluice, high banker, dredge etc.) Leaving only the HEAVIEST of the "cons". Making panning, spiral wheels, or general finishing a snap. 34-1/2" Long, 5" wide and 2-1/2" Deep and just 2lb 3oz. Step 1 - Setting Up the Sluice: Locate a place in the stream with fast water and a gradual drop. Water should run fast enough to move a 1" rock through at a medium speed -steady pace. You may have to remove or re-arrange rocks to provide a space for the sluice to set so as to provide approximately 1 ½" to 2" of water uniformly at the proper speed. If the water supply is slow, you can use rocks on the up-stream end to form a wedge which will direct more water flow (and speed) into your sluice. Step 2 - Holding the Sluice in place: Your Recon II Stream Sluice comes with a "ROCK WEIGHT BRIDGE" to hold the sluice in a stream or creek's fast current. This allows you to place a rock on the bridge to hold the sluice in place. Use just enough weight to keep the sluice from washing away from the position you have set. Step 3 - Processing the Material. Deposit the Gold bearing material in the upstream end of the sluice and allow the water to wash it through. Step 4 - Clean out. When you are ready, stop feeding the sluice and allow clear water to continue running through the sluice to wash out any excess lighter material. When the sluice is ready for clean out, lift the intake end out of the water first. This stops the water flowing through the sluice and drains the excess water out. Pick up the sluice and place the lower left (or right) corner into a bucket or Gold pan. Keep the sluice tilted to the side, flush the sluice with water from a can, gold pan etc., washing the "concentrates" into a container. NOW, you are ready to Pan (or other method) your concentrates and retrieve your Gold. If you have set your sluice correctly, most of your Gold will be in the first 4 riffles. If you find most of the Gold at the lower end, you have too steep of an angle on your sluice or, are feeding it too fast. Reduce the down angle or, slow the feed on your next run.
