Alright, so I said I would let you know what I got out of that lot of mining supplies. I got a Gold Screw ($250) and a Gold Genie Miner Model ($275). Google those. If they don't sell, I don't think I would be that disappointed as they would be a great addition to my arsenal of gold mining equipment.

Peace

Sean

Theres a guy on youtube that shows you what you need to do on a ribbed pipe to use it as a sluice and its a neat idea for some one that cant afford a sluice box

Nice! I am about to purchase that set up, however I am thinking about a small modification to add pro camel instead of the fox (the site claims it process up to 400 pound per hr), can you please tell me how much material do you process with the mountain goat + fox set up? I heard desert fox is a bet slow, please advise me on that and also from your experience what is the most optimum material size to process with this set up ?
cheers =)

I have both the desert fox and the mountain goat both are great and time saveing  . I run the mountain goat to the desert fox and let it do the finding of fine  gold with some jet dry in both . I get all my samples classifed then run them through bot machines  . I run a pump to recurculate the water from one too the other besides the pump that comes with both . Would not give up either one of them for any thing

I had the desert fox for a while but ended up selling it. Just wasn't my cup of tea. I'm not sure how much time it saved me, there are a lot of adjustments that need constant attention to keep working properly. Plus I just really enjoy the physical act of panning. Must be something about seeing that bright gold sparkle peeking out of the black sand.
Anyway, in case you haven't guessed yet...my vote would be a "no". Save your money and get a power sluice or a dry washer. For the money you'll get a lot more out of it.

Thanks for the advice sir! its funny that I was just reading your other post and being the curious me I checked your website and thought this is diffidently someone to get some advice from, just to find your reply here  Grin!
 see I am rookie and one of the things I want to learn is reading rivers for dredging so I might be consulting you in the future if you don't mind it  Smiley

Which do you think is optimum for desert operations (fine material-crushed stones, and might be a bit short in water) power sluice or dry washer?

The dry washer is an adaptation of a water sluice to use in waterless areas. They use air and vibration in place of moving water to seperate concentrates from the waste dirt.

Thank you , I read on several resources that water sluices tend to recover more and require less maintenance than dry washers.. So I thought Idea maybe a water sluice with water recycling might be a good bet for desert.

Recycling systems do work with a few caveates.
Usually you have to haul the water in yourself which is a pain, and it takes a good bit of water to keep the silt from turning into mud. I've used a large rubbermaid tub and also a large concrete mixing tub from home depot. They silt up fairly fast if you feed much material through. Desert soil is often claylike and can muck up your pump. I suggest trial runs at home before doing field work
