Rick makes an exciting discovery of gold at a new claim, but notices that some of it is being wasted as it flows out of the back of the plant. To fix this problem, Rick asks his friend Chris Cruz, who is skilled in welding and fabrication, to help him create a homemade trap to catch the larger gold nuggets before they pass through the shaker deck.
The DIY nugget trap involves attaching sturdy rails underneath the hopper to ensure that any big nuggets are captured. After a few hours of hard work, the trap is finally ready for testing. Rick decides to run some pay dirt through the system to determine if the trap is successful in catching the gold.
To everyone’s delight, the nugget trap works like a charm, capturing a whopping 45 ounces of gold, with nearly $12,000 worth of nuggets among them. This brings the total value of the gold caught to an impressive $63,000.
