How do snuffer bottles work




















Our tubing is very rigged, clear and made with an outside diameter of. This is the exact same tubing that we have been using for years. Our black washers were specially machine cut for an exact fit. What makes a snuffer bottle snuff up the fine gold without a lot of black sands is two things. The first is the tubing. If the tubing is too soft or the ID inside diameter is too big? Two things will happen.

Either you will suck up way too much black sands or way too much water. The second thing is the seal on the bottle.

Notice how it is increasingly more difficult to wash this material out. Resist the urge to wash harder. Continue sweeping the material out little by little until you have almost just black sand. Luckily, gold stands out well against this dark background. Use a gold magnet to quickly separate the gold from the black magnetic sand concentrates.

Place the magnet to the bottom side of your plastic pan and move it in a small circular motion with the pan slightly tilted. This will quickly remove the gold from the magnetic black sands. Use a snuffer bottle to quickly suck up any gold you see. Squeezing the bottle creates a vacuum inside, and submerged gold from the pan can be easily sucked up through the tube and saved by releasing the bottle and moving it around the edges of your pan showing gold. Before using your snuffer bottle, make sure that the straw is properly placed into the cap.

The straw should go no more than half to three quarters of the way down into the bottle. Don't let the straw touch the bottom of the bottle and always keep it well above the gold level in the bottle so you do not accidentally push your gold back out of the straw. Fill your snuffer bottle about half full with water. Gently squeeze and hold the bottle, placing the straw next to the gold in your gold pan.

Slowly release the bottle to create a vacuum. This will pull the gold into the bottle. One you have released the tension from the bottle and it is no longer pulling the gold up, lift your snuffer out of the water.

Place a finger over the straw and shake it a couple of times. Any gold in the straw will fall into the bottle and be trapped. Because time is often limited at the river, use your time to actually dig, pan and find gold — use the time at home to finish the clean up process and separate your fine gold from the black sands.

Take your black sands home with you where you can pan in a controlled environment and go over each pan several times with a catch basin underneath to be sure you recover the tiniest bits of flour gold they all add up! An automatic spiral gold panning machine is ideal if you don't have the muscle power or time to separate your fine gold concentrates by hand. A Gold Cube Super Concentrator is another excellent fine gold recovery tool to consider when you have a lot of panning concentrates to process and want to speed up the process.

Back and forth, round and round, or side to side motion — it's up to you! As you practice, you'll find there are as many methods to panning as there are gold pans and gold prospectors. After a while you will find your best technique forms naturally. Your panning will become faster and your gold losses will become smaller.
