Doesn't look like all that hard work. A nice retirement gig perhaps? RGDS!

Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
Retiring at 55, what day is today?
Running the nozzle gets tiring after awhile, but tending the sluice box with a beer in hand is the life.
Fun work is no work at all.

At least you have Water
Wow, I wouldn't have thought it was possible to sluice without water. RGDS!

and give up all those chickens? LOL
"A car is a tool that takes you from one place to another. Everything beyond that is a payment for other people's perception of you."
Is that a little vibrator motor you have hooked up to the leg on the sluice run?
It's a Thompson puffer Drywasher.
12 volt battery operated windshield washer motor.
That looks like a good time to me. Are you just digging the riverbed dirt, scrounging under big rocks or what?
That's quite a nice bit of gold... how many "buckets" approximately?
I've got a keen 6' do it all yourself sluice and I'm really missing the hobby. I didn't get out at all last season.
There is a clay layer about 12 to 16 inches down. I usually dredge down to the clay layer. I've gone as deep as 4 feet and the gold is consistent but doesn't get any better. I would love to get down to bedrock, but there is no way to do it with a dredge.
Why are your sluice runs so long? Seems like a PITA.
The more ground the gold has to travel over to a point...it has a better chance to get caught up in the mat someplace
I'm assuming that there are different types of matting so the gold would find someplace it likes to settle in.
The gold is very fine and there is a ton of black sand. This allows the fine gold to settle out and the blacks sands to exchange.
