Keep in mind, it is all about the shape of the gold, and not where it is located. Location is not the only factor to be aware of, though we have found that there are areas where the gold is typically very flat. In the same way, the flatter the gold the more time it takes to settle. To illustrate this - if you were to drop a flat washer and a steel bearing, both weighing the same, into a swimming pool at the same time, the steel bearing would hit bottom, first. The combination of gravity and hydraulic pressure makes it impossible for the gold to float or sail. This breaks the surface tension and forces the gold to the bottom of an axial trough. The Gold Cube design eliminates surface tension in what we call the “G-Force Separator”, which forces everything below water under a gate. Flat gold lends itself to slight current manipulation and water surface tension that may allow it to float. Many gold prospectors with the typical sluice box witness very flat gold (glitter gold) that has the tendency to drift or “sail” over riffles. The following advice is direct from Mike, inventor of the Gold Cube. When deciding which Gold Cube to use (3 Stack Deluxe or 4 Stack), there are several factors to consider: price, size (footprint), and the type of gold you may encounter. What's Better: Gold Cube 3 Stack or 4 Stack?
