ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for separating gold and silver from a mixture of sand and rock comprises an endless conveyor supported on an inclined plane on a base. A motor connected to a source of electrical power is connected to a driven roller which operates the conveyor, liquid conducting pipes are placed adjacent the endless conveyor for discharging liquid onto the conveyor belt as it rotates upwardly, means for supplying liquid under pressure to the liquid conducting pipes is provided together with means for depositing a mixture of sand and rock onto the conveyor belt. The mixture of sand and rock is washed by streams from the pipes thus separating lighter materials from heavier particles, the former of which flow down the conveyor belt with the liquid into a trough and the latter heavier particles of gold and silver continue to adhere to the conveyor belt and are dislodged by liquid dripping on to the conveyor belt as it turns over the driven roller. The gold and silver particles thus dislodged gravitate into a trough and are subsequently deposited into a container at the end thereof.
