G-1 Concentrator

The new G-1 Concentrator is the best of the best!

This new unit was developed in the same way that the "Easy Pan" was.

We started with a blank slate and built the G-1 by eliminating one problem at a time from all the other hydraulic concentrators out there.

Here is the list of problems you'll be familiar with that we solved. 1) Too heavy. 2) Too bulky to transport. 3) Poor washing of material. 4) Too time consuming at clean up. 5) Poor fine gold recovery 6) Can't handle a shovel full of gravel all at once without overloading the sluice. 7) Too expensive!

All the issues that have hampered our prospecting in the past are gone!

We now have a simple, light weight, compact folding, powerful washing, SUPER FAST clean up, superior fine gold recovery, shovel full at a time, inexpensive Hydraulic concentrator!

This power sluice is twice as big as any other in it's class, yet is less weight and cost less than any other full size high banker on the market!!

                                                          $725.00




S-1 Finishing System

The new S-1 Finishing System is the best of the best!

Again US Prospector developed this with one thing in mind - eliminate the problems.

Do you have lots of black sand with gold saturated through it and haven't found a way to get that gold out? Have you been disappointed with other machines OR can't tolerate panning those heavy con's?

This list of problems might be familiar? Too slow, too complicated to operate, multiple runs, have to baby-sit, have to spoon feed, keeps loosing gold, too expensive...

Again, all these issues have been solved!

We now have a quick, automatic, no re-run, walk away from, shovel full at a time, SUPER high recovery rate, inexpensive finishing system! So good in fact, a Placer mining company from Oregon came to us with a problem. This company recovers approximately 2000 lbs (one Ton) of black sand from processing 100,000 lbs of raw, bank run placer gravels through their primary concentrator (a trommel).

After running that black sand through multiple gold separating devices, they informed us that those black sand tailings had twelve ounces to the ton of lost gold! We ran their black sand tailings through the S-1 and recovered nearly 100% of what the other machines lost! (We will post the actual results when they get the next assay return.)This gold was mostly minus 100 mesh all the way down to gold that needed a microscope to see! And the small amount of black sand that remains in the S-1 at clean up will be smelted with the free gold due to the fact that it is likely to be gold or other valuable metals encapsulated in a crust of iron oxide.

This new finishing system is faster, easier and recovers better than machines costing much much more!

The Gold Factory “Bonanza” is such a Product.

The Gator - Concentrate Cleaner

Gator" is designed to clean the concentrates from your primary recovery device (Highbanker, Dredge, Stream Sluice etc.,).

The Hopper holds the equivalent of 1&1/2 Coffee Cans of material and the Water Bar Valve (and down angle) lets the operator set the processing rate.

Gator can be fed with a Garden Hose or, set up with a 12v pump. (not included).

It can be placed on a bench / table top or, over a tub, tank or buckets.

And, Gator makes cleanups FAST!

Orofino Concentrator Table

Our 12v “Shaker Table” performs just like the big tables but ….. It can be used ANYWHERE. Because it is a self contained, highly portable recirculating system, it works in the Shop, at Home, or in the Field!

The Deck Plate is made of a special Aluminum Alloy that has been produced by State of the Art Technology that machines V-Groves into its surface by a Computer Controlled Lathe to produce a consistent depth assuring proper material flow.

This new deck will not warp and will wear hard for many years.

The table has multiple adjustment points that enables the operator to set the material flow for any type of material cut they wish. It is “User Friendly” and, after a relatively short learning period, He or She will become proficient at separation and classification control. (Using a shaker table is as much of an Art as it is a Science). Material should be screened to 16 mesh for best results.

There are 4 discharge ports. The first collection trap will be mostly Gold with some black sand, the second will be black sand with some Gold, the third will be almost all black sand and the fourth will be all Gangue.

$1575.00

Tub not included.) Tub can be purchased with order for $1.00 however, shipping costs are equal to table shipping costs.
Tubs are available at
Home Depot,
Lowes or most major retailers selling mortar mixing equipment or concrete supplies. Or, the owner can make their own wooden tank using ordinary building materials and caulk). Table can also be used as a “Bench Top” unit fed with an ordinary garden hose (attachment included).

Note: This product requires (a minimum) 2  weeks lead time and, because of its popularity, could be longer as orders are increasing and production is limited

The 2008 model has an all NEW DECK PLATE featuring Twice as many leads as before. Replacement Decks are available to existing owners

Excalibur Sluice Master

In the Spring of 2006, I produced the last of the original "Excalibur" model Power Sluices for a customer in Vermont.

Although those that owned them developed a Love Affair with the product, it was EXTREMELY labor intensive to produce.

It was very heavy and frankly, because of the time it took to build and the cost of the materials being used, it had become TOO EXPENSIVE, with the last few units selling for $1,695.00 without engine, pump, and hoses.

Even after I had removed Excalibur from my product line, I continued to receive inquiries from all over the planet.

I told them that if I could ever figure out a way to build it (with the same level of recovery) using more efficient labor methods, satisfactory materials, get it down to a manageable weight and the price down to an affordable level, I would offer it again.

WELL ... I FINNALY DID !!!

"Excalibur "... Reloaded!

Now Ready for Market.

With the same level of recovery of the original, this new model weights in at under 20 pounds so it is light enough for even a person of slight build and strength to EASILY handle.

It can be produced in 1/3rd the labor time of the original without sacrificing quality or finish. The Industrial Grade Plastics are hard wearing and strong and it is COMPETITIVELY PRICED!

The new Hopper provides a "Slick Plate" shovel feed area where the bank run is BLASTED with two water "CANNONS" that immediately dissolve and stratify the material, then moves it downstream to the Reverse Wedge Grate that is 3/8ths at the opening and gets wider below the surface.

Being wider at the bottom than at the opening allows the material to fan out thus reducing the potential for clogging or plugging and keeps the material moving into the sluice. Material larger than 3/8ths is discharged overboard.

Materials smaller than 12 mesh are segregated from the bulk gangue via the "EXTRACTION RIFFLES" in the upper Flume Sluice and sent to the Lower Sluice where the Ultra Fine Gold is captured. Nuggets and Midlings (Course Gold) are caught in the Boil Box at the end of Upper Sluice where they are easily removed by the special drain in the Boil Box.

$974.25

 

Excalibur 1

Excalibur actually "Separates" the
Fine Gold from the rest!

Excalibur 2

Nuggets and Course Gold are trapped in the " BOIL BOX " at the discharge end of the upper Flume. "Extraction Riffles" (Pat. Pend.) removes material ( - 12 mesh ) and sends it to the lower sluice where the Fine Gold is recovered as low as 200 mesh

Both sluices are “Quick Disconnect” and clean up in just seconds, with no Moss, Carpet, Riffle, Bars, or other moving parts to mess with.
