Gold Sucker End
Bill Hall, E-mail: bhalln@ix.netcom.com
The gold sucker or swizzel stick as I know it is an excellent piece of equipment.I have built one with a little different idea on the sucking end.
What I did was use a piece of 2" PVC pipe for the sucker body with what's known as a bell end or a formed coupling end that would be used to connect to the next piece of pipe. I then put a 2" to 1/2" and/or 2" to 3/4" PVC pipe reducer into the bell end. I trimmed out the inside lip of the reducer and glued in a piece of 1/2" or 3/4" pipe so it protrudes up past the reducer at least an inch or more. The inside of the reducer fitting should be manufactured hollow thus allowing the gravels to be caught. Do not glue the reducer in or jam the fitting in real hard since you will have to remove the reducer and clean it out in your pan or clear rocks that get stuck in the nozzle from time to time. Small rocks tend to get stuck in the smaller tubing but generlly come out easily. Sometimes the fitting is hard to get out of the bell end due to pushing it in too hard or sand that finds its way between the fittings. The small pipe makes it very easy to get into small cracks.
Any questions feel free to e-mail me.
