Fern, my white Boxer dog, is an accredited service dog under the 1992 DD act. She holds special access rights to be allowed to enter places most dogs cannot. This includes National Parks such as Chiltern Mt Piolet NP where Reedy Creek is located. Unless your dog is an accredited service animal they are not allowed to enter NP.
Check your local regulations, as each state and territory is different, before you travel into or though NP with your dog. Here is the Parks Victoria website for those of you wishing to read up on Victoria's laws 👉 www.parks.vic.gov.au/things-t...

Chris you are awesome! yet another great video! Always nice to log into youtube and see a new one!
Getting splashed in the crouch on a cold winter's morning is like saying "yep I'm awake now ". Great video Chris, well done for you and Gadsy. Keep up with the continued success and videos. Best wishes from the goldfields of western Australia. Cheers from Kalgoorlie Boulder.
So now we have education on gold retrieval along with great comedy. Love it.... Hi to Bernie!!!
A belated Happy Birthday for the other day Chris and I like this present you got yourself good on ya :-)
Yes!!!, I just binge watched all your videos and was mad I had no new ones and what do I wake up to. Lol. Thanks for all the great videos
Gday Chris. That looks a nice unit for doing the gullies around home when there is water in them. Looks light and compact. Thanks for showing. Was nice to meet you at the expo in Bendigo. Take care mate 😁👍
Fascinating my Piper dog knows your name and she gets excited and has to have her ears scratched! 😆 Thanks for your videos guys! Chris your a great personality and your blokes are Awesome. Piper enjoys Fern, she can’t get enough( always searching the video ). Lol
What a nice little run today. Looks like with all the changes and upgrades you've made to it, it will be running great.

Put in and old wool Blanket in the full length of the sluice . only put about 6 inches of expanded metal at the start . The old wool blanket I guaranty will get 95+% of you flour gold . classifying to 1/4" works good
Another one! Great job guys !
Your dog is crazy cute. Thanks for this video
Many happies for your birthday. Love your videos
This is probably one of the best modifications ever. GOOD JOB MAN subbed!
Thanks Chris a great video you’ve made there.
havent checked in in a while you seem a lot more comfortable in front of a camera now! awesome vid!
Cool little high bank rig you got there mate. Greetings from NC US. Great Chanel. I home to get out to that part of the world one day. Keep shaken that dirt my friend.
Happy belated birthday to ya. I have the Gold Fox trommel for my gold cube in same color from them. I love taking it out when I find a spot worth the trouble I'd hauling it out. The marine battery I use to power it is the limiting factor for deployment. Heavy. But when I do take it out.. Fun fun..
Happy birthday mate all the best
Very interesting about the green machine love the dog oh and the gold 👏👏🥂
Cool vid, enjoyed this episode
You guys are killing it
Thanks Chris!
Happy birthday dude for the other day dude. Hope you had aa good day

Cool mini highbanker think I'm gonna see about getting one ... My birthday is coming up in July... Congrats on the amount of gold for the short amount of work you did... Well until next time I'll be looking forward to your next video ... The Coco dog says give Frenie a scratch from her... God Bless and Be Safe.. Don E in Colorado

I know they aren't cheap but you should get a Keene mini max. They have a very good catch rate plus you turn the mat around and have a clean up sluice.
Very nice Chris. Lol. That was funny you and gazz (I hope I am getting his name right.) And gazz is finding more gold than you are. 😆 But love seeing the one mini sluice box in action. And definitely like the upgrades you did from the mat to miners moss and expandable metal.

That was a great field test. It's amazing how something that is made for the job , always has to be modified to fit. But like you said nothing is right from the factory. Can't wait to see the changes in action Chris. Cheers
Sweet!!!!
Liked it before ive watched it. We all know its gonna be good.
The reminds me of the little high banker I built,I keep making them Smaller with better up front catch points ,great machine and great gold what a cool place to prospect
Cool little mini baby banker.
Happy birthday 🎉🎉🎊🥳
Great little high banker, you could cut out the old metal grate and weld in that fine mesh or make it interchangeable with larger mesh.
Awesome. Glad you both were finding gold. What is the amp hour on those batteries and what's the run time like on the pump?....stupid question I'm sure. Be well and stay safe. UK.

Ok I’ll bite and guess .64 g yup I knew I shouldn’t have tried to guess lol. AND THE WINNER IS GAD ZEE looks like he out foxed the fox well done for just test pans 🤩 ahh miners moss…works well but unless your drowning it in a bucket of water and beating it with a stick the gold stays in it. It’s always nice when a friend loans you a sluice and it’s got miners moss you can clean the heck out of it and get their leftover gold😳😬 would that be considered moss dogging?

Love gold hog matt's
You might also consider (since you are into modding anyway) making your hopper a little flatter (and maybe larger) and giving the water more time to work the clay like a 'slush box' as they used to call it around here. Were it me in that, I would even think about making it a 2-stage rig, putting more than one layer of expanded with an inch or so gap between with smaller expanded on the bottom, for the water to blast that clay through. IMO clay is just more more more in as little space and effort as possible. Heavy pans brother!

I am very surprised at your dislike of the goldhog matting....? I use the goldhog mat with the goldfox trommel fron 1/4"- to crushed hard rock using the 3' extension for the super fines. Yah, they're a pain to clean but do catch the super fine gold in my area. Nice little testing sluice though! I like it and your ideas.

How do you like that goldfox trommel? Saw them on ebay and thinking of getting one. I'm just a relative casual or beginner though... mostly detecting and panning so far...so don't know awhole lot about sluices and stuff. Is there much benefit to it and having the trommel to just a regular little powered sluice or highbanker like the Gold fox? Thanks

Kelly, the guy that makes them, was on top of all my needs for a replacement motor and helped me understand how to help cool the motor since I might use it year round here in the desert recirculating the water. And goldfish keeps making smart changes to their units. Good luck and heavy pans.
7 min per bucket is pretty good

The most important is a bucket of clear water for your dog before you pollute the rest with sluicing.

How many GPH is the pump? How long can you run on the battery? I am thinking about making a similar system using 18v ryobi batteries in series.

so whats your thinking of this sluice over your 6 inch mini gold rat? i love the battery box, but thats an easy build...
How do you compare mini monstrr to the geo sluice mini highbanker?
That mat looks similar to the mat that comes in gold hog.
A straight shot of water into the hopper is way better than spray bars when using small bilge pumps e.g. 1,100 GPH. It creates a boil effect at the front of the hopper box and saturates the material. Nice Gold Fox unit! Chris - are you still planning to use your Gold Rat machine, or has this new one replaced it?
