HOW TO BUILD A HENRY "POOP" TUBE
Heres How You Do It
Go to your local Home Depot or Lowes
Purchase these items.
- 1, 1x3"x 8' pine board.
- 1, 8' length or 4"dia corrugated plastice flexible drain pipe "not perforated".
- 1, small pack of flat head wood screws #10 in size.
Now go to Walmart into the Sporting goods dept and purchase a 12vlt boat bilge pump 750 model.
You now have all of the ingredients to build your Henry "Poop" Tube.
NOW FOR THE ASSEMBLY...
- Cut the 8' 1x3" pine board in half into 2, 4' peices.
Use one peice save the other.
- Cut the 8' length of corrugated drain pipe into 2, 4' peices. Save one use the other.
- Now take the 4' of drain pipe you are using and split in to 2 halves, by splitting it length wise.
- Take one of the halves of the drain pipe and screw it onto the 1x3"x4' pine board.
- Put the screws into the bottom of the corrugated riffles, 1 every 6" will do nicely.
- Now take the other split half and set it on top of the one you screwed down onto the pine board and snap it in place.
NOW YOU HAVE BUILT A BASIC HENRY "POOP" TUBE...
- You can now use it in a creek or stream to work out your concentrates and fine flour Gold.
- You can add on the bilge pump with a stop valve and some garden hose and by using a
couple of 5 gallon buckets you can recycle your water and use the Henry Poop Tube at home.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER...
- Remember to set up the elevation from top to bottom at 1" [one inch] per/linear foot of Henry "Poop" Tube.
- NOW...Adjust your water flow so the tube doesn't load up with blondes or blows out all of the material leaving the riffles empty.
- Using a scoop from those dry soap detergent boxes is perfect to feed the tube.
- Load the tube 1 [one] scoop at a time allowing it to clear before loading again.
- Look for all of the Free Gold and Snuffer it out every chance you get.
- Remember to classify your cons down to #20 mesh for use in the Poop Tube.
- Larger than #20 mesh you can pan out easily with either a 14" pan or 10" finishing pan.
