Question 1

what size micron gold will this equipment capture. I prospect in Washington state and the majority of gold is 15 to 25 microns.

Accepted Answer

Hi. I am in Colorado. While there have been times when larger gold has been recovered in Colorado historically most of the gold here is very fine. My Gold Cube is a 4 stack with a modified stand. That is to say that I have a piece of plywood on top of the stand with a 2x4 setting in the back so that the top of the Gold Cube is setting bubble level front to back and side to side. I have found that if the Gold Cube is not setting level it does not due as well as if it is level. I do not use a micron measurement in my shop but rather a screen mesh measurement. By that I mean a # 8 or #12 classifier and so forth. The Gold Cube that I have will consistently capture 50 and 100 mesh gold (and bigger). Also my Gold Cube is set up as a recirculating unit. I have found that a Gold Cube will NOT capture ALL of your gold in a SINGLE pass. Your material has to be run through it THREE times to get all of it. For that reason I do not recommend that a Gold Cube be used out in the field unless you are also running a 40 inch (or so) sluce under it also. Or unless you are set up to pick up your material and send it through again.If you like you can email me directly at 5501@comcast.net. (it's where all of my non private emails go) and I will be glad to send you some pics of how my unit is set up in my shop. Hope this helps you out.Richard

Question 2

Does anyone else think this is overpriced?

Accepted Answer

It is well made and will last forever. Everything costs more then we want to pay.

Question 3

If the first cube catches most of the gold, why are three and four stacks needed? Exponentially diminishing returns no?

Accepted Answer

you would need tray 3 and 4 if tray 2 and 1 fill up with gold

Question 4

How many GPH does the pump handle?

Accepted Answer

I believe it is 1100 GPH
