Hi Dale,
Just a short note to say I was very impressed with the concentrator.
The whole bottom of my pan was red with small garnets, and shiny with small gold that had gone out the back of a self contained high banker.
I can not believe the amount of gold I almost threw away. It was just a whim that I kept that bucket.
My next try will be to let my Camel Mt. Goat Trommel empty right into the Concentrator. Should be great.

I just got my Canadian Edition Bucket Sluice Concentrator today and WOW this thing is Totally Amazing
For now here is some pictures of some very fine gold I pulled out of some dirt I had already panned through...about 1/2 a five gallon bucket of material... I was Shocked how much gold I missed by panning and I know how to pan.
Thank You Dale for making such a Great Clean Up Sluice

I tried mine with a big ziploc bag of minus 30 mesh....man o man this thing is FAST
The hardest part was deciding which 5 gallon pail to drill holes into
Then I ran the tailings through the blue bowl....2 fly specks of gold...that's it...this thing really works well
I ran the black sand cons through the bowl and got lots of gold specks.
I will have to run the blacks again because when I test panned a teaspoon of black sand I could see really really really fine gold.
So now I will classify the minus 30 mesh to minus 100 mesh and slow down the bowl and run it again.
So the bucket concentrator will pick up to -100 mesh....amazing
this thing works so well faster and more complete than my gold geni that i put the wheel on craigslist yesterday best sell while i can before word gets about this $25.00 wonder.

I notice the "V" in the water is hitting the second drop riffle for that size of classification....good to note.
I ran 30 mesh through mine and kept the "V" just before the first drop riffle (on recirc).
I am totally impressed with this little baby....it's sooooooo fast.
I panned the tailings and found nothing so far IT WORKS PERFECTLY
Look forward to your next video. and all of the GOLD

A nice little unit.
I notice that the V has a clear indication of energy as it sorts out stuff in the upper riffles. You can see in the first couple of riffles where the flow energy is concentrated but by the fourth riffle or so things get even right across the riffle.
I see this type of unit as proof of the recovery heirarchy. Why go through the hassle and expense of setting up a machine that recovers 97% of the 400 mesh gold when the primary concentrator is not going to be recovering it? Some might find a piece of fine gold in their tailings and freak out but no machine is 100% - not even leaching. I have seen guys with blue bowls hugging and kissing them in an effort to get every single 100 mesh flake. They face a constant threat of diminishing returns with 2 dollars in effort to recover 10 cents of gold.
I can see this little concentrator being exactly the appropriate machine for many prospectors. Fast - simple - inexpensive and efficient within the recovery curves of the primary concentrators they have available.
Good show!!!
Dale,
Thank you sir! I appreciate the professionalism and quick service. I'll be sure to talk about your product with the folks in our prospecting club.
I ran some concentrates through the concentrator today and it performed perfectly. I panned the run-off from the sluice and did not find a spec of gold. However, the material that the sluice held on to had all the gold. I know you tested it plenty, but you can count me as a "tested and proven customer." Well done, sir!

Dale,
Thanks buddy, I tested my new concentrator as soon as i got it home. although all i had to test it with was a pile of old concentrates that i had already panned out last year.
your little machine has already paid for it's self!
i found gold in this old material that i was going to throw away!
this thing was so fast and easy to use, i just can't believe what i had to go through in the past.
thank you!

Dale,
i must tell you that i was a bit skeptical about this gadget! but for the price i shot the dice and came away a winner !!
for years i have been a firm believer of the_ _ _ _ bowl.
Well i just listed that old bowl on Craig's list. Does that tell you anything about us old dogs and the ability to learn new tricks!
I sincerely wish you the best in your new business, with good equipment and low prices you are going to go far!!

Dale,
I received my concentrator last night and could not wait to try it out. I ran about two gallons of old concentrates that I had previous panned and decided that amalgam was the only way to get for the remaining gold. Well I was wrong because even though there was a lot of very fine gold it turned out to have some nice specks that I had missed. The concentrator captured most if not all of the fine gold and I can easily say that if anything is left in the black sands it would not be worth my effort. In an hour of running my concentrator it has more then paid for itself. I have already convinced my buddies Dean and Steve to buy one. We are going dredging this weekend and after our other buddy sees it run I am sure he will be sold.
I know that Dean has been emailing you about the A-52 hopper and I am sure we will be buying several of those in the near future. Best of luck with your business and please keep coming up with great products.
Thank you,

Got my order on Saturday, that was great service. I was able to try the Jr Sluice Box out on Sunday and it worked great. The kids are using the Bucket Concentrator on the cons now, and loving it. What I'm really waiting for is the 16"X42" Sluice Box to come out, that ought to be the real trick for our NV streams and fine gold. Thanks for the service, Kevin
