Sifting Through the Dirt | National Geographic

it’s been four hours since Jim walked
away it’s like ah this sucks
get him out in there lots of chunks near
that right off the equipment I’m back
what is that hell I have no idea what
Jim’s up to but I’m not gonna question
him
oh I have no idea what this thing is
what are you doing with a ladder this is
a homemade special see this is a
vibrator hand vibrator you and your
freakin vibrators don’t knock it
alright you are like a crazy man how do
you wear it I’m don’t even forget it I
don’t want to know alright so here’s
what happens right check this out we put
the screens up here we vibrate it with
the generator weird impressed where did
you get this stuff
I am completely impressed with Jim’s
ingenuity it turns out that this is a
homemade sluice box Wow when boom a
sluice box is a piece of equipment that
concentrates material about a hundred
times faster than panning this washes
all your waste material off of your
heavier valuable material isolating the
gold and trapping it in sections of the
sluice dirt should flow off and the
hopefully the gold is stay behind
you didn’t put gas in it hey dude
really yeah it ran for two minutes crap
this whole thing is complete loss
