3D Printed Gold Sluice With Real Gold!

Good day folks, it's Lacking back again with my 3D printed gold sluice. This time, it's scaled up to 100% size and I have some gold paydirt! I purchased the paydirt somewhere around a month ago and it has finally arrived in It's-Still-Winter, Nunavut, Canada! A month-long wait for something from the states is NOT a big deal, in fact. It's expected!

So I purchased my paydirt through Klesh on youtube, and full disclosure, Klesh emailed me to tell me his mailing service couldn't find my address inform me that I was the first resident of Nunavut to order his paydirt! Awesome! I ended up ordering 4 bags of Beginner paydirt, two of which are for my father, and I also received a bonus Klesh Gold Krumbs paydirt baggie. A tiny 2-3 oz bag of paydirt that has a guaranteed 50% roi. I've heard there are bonus bags with up to 500% roi! That's some bitcoin level gains!

But, obviously, buying paydirt online is NOT an investment. You will not recover your money doing online paydirt. The company you are buying from wants to make money, too. Paydirt is for practice, fun, and for when you cannot get out to a gold-bearing spot to find some yellow candy. People with disabilities may enjoy panning some paydirt from time to time. Same with those like me, who live in a land of seemingly permanent winter.

Good news! The 3D printed sluice works! It was catching all sorts of sizes of gold. Easily caught the picker you can see in the middle of this photo as well as a few flakes nearby. After I cleaned the sluice out into my gold pan dollar store chip dip bowl, I panned back the black sands and lighter material to reveal the gold! Sadly I do not have a scale yet to give you a final weight. I hope these beauty shots will suffice for now! I still have more bags of paydirt to pan out. I think I'll wait for an actual gold pan and a scale so that I can do a better final tally.
