SUMMER SPECIAL $23.50
GREAT CLEAN UP WATER RECOVERY / RECIRCULATION SLUICE BOX (rev E)
for processing your fine GOLD and rich BLACK SAND concentrates that you have lying around all those years.
Get your significant other (wife, girlfriend, and kids) interested in processing the concentrates to recover the GOLD.
I got tired of panning out a 5-gallons bucket of my 5" dredge concentrates, so a few years ago I started experimenting and building these Clean Up Sluices.
"A HECK OF A SLUICE" is a light-weight, (2) TWO STAGE prospecting tool, which can be used to separate Black Sand and fine GOLD from your concentrates after you'd Panned, Dredged, High Banked, and Dry Washed. It can be mounted to the output side (in place of the small cup)of the GOLD Wheel and/or attached to a five-gallon bucket or tub.
Water flows, using a 12 vdc water pump (for Water recovery/recirculation ) or garden hose hook up to city water, through a water hose hook-up flow valve with a 90-degree elbow, which makes attachment to the water hose more flexible at any position.
A "T"- MANIFOLD, located at the top end of the sluice, ensures an even distribution of water.
The WATER FLOW VALVE can be used to adjusts the amount of Water you wish to flow thru the Sluice.
The FIRST STAGE occurs when small amounts of concentrate is added to the mixing area, which is located above the ribbed rubber matting, the mixture of concentrate and water then flows over the ribbed rubber mat catching the GOLD. Small nuggets, pickers and lickers can now be collected from the ribbed rubber mat using a Snuffer Bottle.
The SECOND STAGE or remaining concentrate continues to journey to the ribbed carpet area, which is topped with a diamond shaped expanded metal overlay, to catch the fine GOLD. Each Diamond shaped acts like a MinI Ripple. Remove the diamond shaped metal overlay, throughly wash the carpet and empty the filtered concentrate into your gold pan to recover the fine GOLD.
"A HECK OF A SLUICE" is quality constructed with all new parts, which include the hook up valve and the sluice assembly (pump, hose and battery not included). Hope you have a Heck of a good time and find a Heck of a lot of gold. The sluice is 2 x 4 x 24 and weights about 1 1/2 lbs.
WATER FLOW VALVE/90 DEG ELBOW furnished with the Sluice Box.
SET UP and Operating Instructions along with pictures are furnished with Sluice Box.
Gold wheel and bucket are not part of this auction and the pictures were added for demonstration purposes only.
Water Pump and Bilge Hose not included.
Vern's Testimonial
I QUOTE:
I finally got a chance to try out my new toy...it works like a "hot damn"... I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of very very fine flour gold the little sluice managed to recover. When I first got my hydro bowl I managed to let it slurp up a few table spoon fulls of black sand concentrates because I didn't turn the water down like I was supposed to. Anyway rather than redo my concentrates they just sat in a bucket for the past three years until your invention came along, needless to say I'm very happy with the way this little sluice does it's job. You named it right it's " a heck of a sluice ". Vern Newman

Ray’s email 5-01-08, I quote:
“The wife and I worked our "home side stream", aka kitchen sink, and practiced with some concentrates that we had practiced with from panning and ran it through the sluice using the rinse hose as a water source, and with my wife's dogged determination, recovered more gold than we had gotten from the panning alone. The tailings had been panned at least twice previously for practice. I t6hink the wife used the Ivory soap percentage, 99 and 44 one hundredths as her recovery goal, and didn't miss it by much. I think it can be said it "hooked " her quicker than a hungry bass hitting a buzz bait! Thanks for being able to answer my questions and for making a really good product for the people really new to gold finding. Thanks, Ray”

Revision E 01-16-07 to the sluice design provides an extra piece of OZITE Carpet
Revision D 7-02-06 to the sluice design. I moved the "T" Water Manifold closer to the end cap thus giving extra mixing area.
Revision C to my sluice design. I am now tapering the up stream end of the carpet and cutting the end at a 45 deg. This will make the water flow more .
Revision B to my sluice design. I am now using vinyl coated wire to hold down the Expanded Mini Ripple Wire Mesh and the Fine GOLD catching Carpet. On the old type wire the paint chipped away and the wire rusted.
Revision A to my sluice design. When I was prospecting in June of this year, I decided to paint the area known as the mixing area (area between the T manifold and the ribbed rubber mat) with Flat Black plastic paint. A prospector emailed me and suggested Hunter Green. So I tried Hunter Green and I like it. All the Sluices will have Hunter Green in the mixing area.This enables you to see the GOLD as soon as you sprinkle in the concentrates.
I can custom make a Sluice for you in any configuration and length up to 4 feet. E-Mail donjacqueheck@wmconnect.com for details.

Grandpa always had little boxes full of mysterious stuff, that could be used to fix almost anything without a trip to the store. Things seemed simpler before high-tech gadgets made life better.
...Brey’s “boxes” are only boxes in a single sense. They appear ordinary and familiar from the outside, but at the point of contact, interaction or performance they begin to unfold. The material and situational complexity of works like Sutra, 2010, The Black Cube, 2012, Water 2013, The Uncanny, 2015 and others, reveal themselves to be constellations within a Caribbean universe. Through them, Brey speaks to the infinity of the natural world, the sublime possibilities of one’s dreams and imagination. In part, thee works also act as psychological container of fractured history, blurred and concise memories and through material, form and experience, enter the fifth dimension. ( Fragment from “Adrift”, 2019 )

The Minerva sales literature stated that 63% of the parts used in the vehicles were of Belgian origin. The chassis were later built in Belgium as they are different in a number of ways to the Land-Rover chassis, being box welded and lacking the PTO hole provision in the rear crossmember.
The Minerva assembly line employed about 500 skilled workers who could produce 50 vehicles a day. These vehicles produced were left hand drive, 80 inch wheelbase models, with the 2 litre Rover IoE engine. The most obvious differences between the Minerva and the Land-Rover Series one being that the front wings that are squared off and sloping. The bodywork, including the doors, were all steel and a narrower front grille was used with the Minerva badge affixed. Two styles of badges were used, the earlier version stating 'Land-Rover - manufactured under licence by Minerva' and the later having the oval Land-Rover badge at the bottom of the Minerva name (top pic). Slatted oval panels on either side of the grille cover the apertures and the front bumper was fitted with a single "pigtail" towing eye on the drivers side. The side lights were located at the bottom of the wings and the headlights were larger than usual. Smaller brake lights were fitted to the rear panels.
Other differences include the exhaust being emitted from beneath the drivers door and the door handles. The 80 inch army Minerva door handles were like those of its British counterpart with the canvas flap - although the door locks are slightly different. However, the civilian Minervas had external door handles.
The military vehicles look quite different from the rear; a three quarter height fixed tailgate being fitted. The police and military versions had the spare wheel mounted on the right and a jerry can holder mounted on the left hand side (the Minerva petrol tanks are a little smaller than the Land-Rover equivalent).
No centre seat was provided, a toolbox being fitted in its place which was about the same size as a seat base cushion. (The space under the seat which Series Ones often use as a toolbox housed one of two 6-volt batteries, the second being under the bonnet).
It is thought that the Belgian army stockpiled the vehicles and thus effectively brand new vehicles were, until quite recently, still entering service. They simply had the mileage of occasional trips around the warehouse which prevented them from seizing up!
An armoured / assault vehicle version was also produced, with heavy plating, armoured glass screens and machine gun mounts at both the front and back. The spare wheel for these was mounted on the front, in front of the grille. Field ambulance versions were produced, being basically the same as the standard vehicle but with the tilt extended at the rear to cover the overhanging stretchers. It is thought that this tilt could in fact be the same as used by the ambulance version of the Jeep.
In October 1953 a civilian version of the Minerva Land-Rover was announced. This new vehicle was different in a number of ways from the previously produced military versions. The new vehicle was fitted with three seats, a drop down tailgate and provision in the rear cross member for a rear PTO to be fitted. A choice of colours was also offered.
The brochure for the civilian model describes a central PTO from the main gear box to drive belts and describes the vehicle being useful for any portable apparatus - including generators, welders and water pumps. Indeed, the scenes used for the Minerva literature are virtually identical to those that Land-Rover were using - with the obvious exception of slightly different vehicles. Like our own Series Ones, Minerva versions included station wagons, hard tops, truck cabs, and tilt versions; the tilt uniquely being fitted with side windows. These vehicles were apparently well received by construction companies and farmers but are now very rare.
In 1954, the new 86 inch version was introduced, (as in the UK replacing the 80 inch). This vehicle was produced for the next two years, until 1956 when all contracts between Minerva and the Rover Company were terminated. During this time, only 1,100 86 inch vehicles were produced, and these are now extremely rare.
It is likely that these 86 inch vehicles were primarily only available as civilian models. The 86 inch model had 3 seats and rear PTO hole. The rear agricultural plate was also fitted. These vehicles had tailgates and the external door handles as fitted to the 80 inch civilian vehicles.
The original Belgian army order was for 2,500 vehicles although a further 3,421 were subsequently ordered. As a result, despatches for 1952 and 1953 totalled 7,859 Completely Knocked Down vehicles. However, only 200 CKD 86 inch vehicles were despatched during 1954 and this may well have contributed to the dispute between the two companies and agreement that all contracts would be terminated after a further 900 vehicles had been despatched.
Thus, from May 1952 until the contract between the two companies was terminated at the end of June 1956, a total of 8,959 CKD vehicles were despatched from the Rover Company to SA Societe Nouvelle Minerva of Belgium.
In 1956 Minerva announced the C-20 and M-20 (Civilian and Military) Tout Terrain vehicles but very few of these are believed to have been produced and the company soon experienced financial difficulties.
The Minerva company finally went into liquidation in 1958.

A George V wall box (HP18 153D) by W.T. Allen & Co of London. Windmill Street, Brill, Buckinghamshire. 30th April 2017.
I took a week-long intensive class in art therapy. Here are parts of a project we did: Create a self-box that says something about who you and where you are in your life. I chose to make a Beauty Box, to remind me that I'm beautiful on the inside, which is more important than external beauty. Inside I wrote some notes about my strengths.
