As always, man is resourceful, and so we looked for ways to speed up panning for gold. is meant is more rock, sand, - browse and gravel material in less time.
One of these methods was found with the gold sluice box or Sluice Box. A channel with a built-in ribs to the heavier Gold withhold.
store in principle, from a flow objects or particles that are heavier than the pressure of Stömung. A Sluice Box PHYSICAL take this effect and therefore holds back heavy materials such as gold.
The Sluice boxes come in different finishes such as wood, plastic or (used today) matches between aluminum and can 0.5 and 2 meters long, 10cm wide and up to 5 meters. Up to 200 times more material can be processed by a gold sluice box.
The process of washing is also highly dependent on the strength of the flow, the flow speed of the water and the filling of the channel. A simple channel without obstacles in the interior of the Sluice Box would be futile because of the friction effect on the bottom of the channel is not enough back to keep heavy materials.
The be-all and in the use of the sluice is the veracity passage of water through the gutter. Say: The flow and speed.
If the flow is too low to load the laundry chute and quickly washed out the gold and gold spangles on the ripples.
There must be just enough water slides are on the box, so that the worthless sand and rock mixture is washed away, but drops the gold spangles to the ground and is held in the gold sluice box.
When strong currents near the rocks and sand mixture so has the gold respectively. Gold spangles carried away and lost.
is established by the Gold sluice and properly (water velocity) is at the upper part of the gold sluice box of sand, gravel and filled rock mixture. Here again you need some practice to ensure that the channel and checkers are not load instantly.
If the upper Ripples of gold spangles is visible, it's time to clean the Sluice Box. The best way to empty the rest of sand, gold mixed in a bucket and washes out with a gold pan, the remaining gold.
Proper adjustment of the sluice is clear from the fact that at the end of the wash cycle is much gold in the gutter. This requires the gold sluice box set aggressively to unscreened material can directly add to the Schippstelle.
The gutter is installed, even large chunks of the gutter run well without manually nachzuhelfen. The result is here with about 70% of yield.
Maybe you can correct by the preliminary sieve, and the flow down 100% of the gold-containing material Adults, however, an aggressive attitude of the scrubbing channel shows more appropriate, since the total workload is less.
A long trough is generally more effective than a short Sluice Box. It allows a steeper attitude and has better "fishing properties than shorter.
A long channel (Long Tom) generally permits a steeper attitude and has better retention properties as a short channel. The flowing water has more time to calm down and transported to deposit the gold spangles.
In a short gold sluice box so the Strömmungsdurchfluß be reduced so that the gold spangles is not entrained out of the gutter.
But loamy soils need more time to the gold spangles from the clay wash.
Modern Sluice boxes therefore have a long zone where the flow can calm down and removed the gold particles on the floor.
Finally
The gold sluice everything can, and do not currently have even if the professional are among the gold washers tried repeatedly to fabricate them on their own optimal Sluice Box. Be it from vegetable boxes, car roof or other utensils.
Each of these channels has its has advantages and disadvantages and the call in the evening by the campfire, at least as nice as the Goldwaschenam days
