i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for a diy centifugal type gold extractor for seperating fine gold from dry gold bearing dirt. the area we are prospecting has really fine gold in granite sand, but no water for miles and difficult terrain so taking enough water in for a sluice is very difficult. i was thinking about a leaf blower powered bucket vacuum, with the suction hose angled into the side of the bucket so as to create a swirling effect inside the bucket throwing the gold towards the side of the bucket, with the lighter dust/dirt getting sucked out the top! anyone tried a method like this? any thoughts or ideas would be great, cheers guys
