I owned one of the very first Gold Cubes, yes the stock Vortex mat catches all visible gold extremely well, but yes I do NOT like the Vortex mat either because the problems with it are: 1)Every day before use it must be brush scrubbed to get rid of air bubbles. 2)Grass roots get hung up on the Vortex mat. 3) Very small rocks-stones get stuck in the Vortex mat and are hard to get out. 4)Clay plugs it up. 5)A little hard to clean out. 6)Good for concentrate clean-ups but WAY too slow feed rate for bank run material. Yes your new Sawtooth replacement mats might be the answer and a lot better than the stock Vortex mat. Also a Honda WX-10, 1" inch water pump is good to use on the Gold Cube.

Nice video I would own some if I lived near some gold

Ok, no problem, newly I have reached you website..

The mat looks great! How do you think it would work in a sluice box?

It works very well. I have a section 16" x 24" of it in my big beach sluice which is 16" x 8' long.

Thank God this video isn't about the dream mat. So sick of hearing about the dream mat, and I've heard that it loses alot of fine gold too. I will have to try this mat

I would not say the dream mat loses fine gold, but it sure does back up when running fast and you get to take home 4x the cons then with any other mat. So im not a fan of it myself. But this mat plane and simple ROCKS!

Yup.... I have been using it for over a year. Guess you watched a couple of my vids..... I first used the sawtooth in a little cleanup sluice I made. Then into the Goldcube and a large beach sluice. The designer of the mat is a friend of mine by the way.

I don't have much in the way of vids ... just a few short ones. But i do beach mine in Oregon... Pain in the keister that it is...lol One of these days I will make it up to Benson Beach. Here is a short cleanup vid I did for a friend... I had covered the slick plate of the cube with deep V mat. I had made sawtooth mats for the cube as well but made no vids of that. There is a little cleanup sluice I made in which I place the saw tooth mat in and it does a great job. The Sawtooth mat is very efficient. Good vids.. Keep up the good work. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6dlppiIltmqZJs.html

I ordered two of the sawtooth mats a few days ago, I am planning on going to cape disapointment soon. I understand that the sawtooth mats are real good at catching fine gold, but what about in rivers and streams? Can it catch larger pickers and nuggets? Or would leaving one tray of vortex in the gold cube like in the second tray and the rest sawtooth be better at larger gold? Or would the sawtooth mat be better overall? Thanks.

Hi James, Yes the sawtooth mat is one of the best mats on the market for catching fine gold like beach sand size gold. Mike Pung of the Gold Cube approves it as the only mat to replace the vortex mat. As for bigger gold, yes it will hold on to a small pickers and nuggets simply because of there weight and size (any mat can catch those) compared to the fine gold. Vortex mat is good but the sawtooth mat out performs it in many ways, (volume, catch rate and Way Easier to clean out). You will find out for yourself. Use a brush to clean out the vortex mat, but the sawtooth mat just needs a simple wash over the riffles to clean out (no brush needed). May your pans be full of fine gold and thanks for your support.

What do you think would be better with the new Wave mat.... Sawtooth vs. Wave mat

@washingtonbeachmining7736

At this time I think they would perform about the same. The sawtooth mat does that same thing of mixing up the slur of the beach sand thru back eddies after each riffle and dropping the gold down. I would keep the sawtooth mat in the cube since that is where it was designed around but does work well in a sluice. Thanks for watching.

Your website www.washingtonbeachmining.com is not been connected!.. Why? has it been already changed?

how can i get this is longer strips

I’m also a local Washingtonian, I make videos on Coin Roll Hunting in Washington! Just about to hit 12,000 subs, would love to join you sometime!

Why not show how effective it is , instead saying twenty percent more effective than the original mat......

We did show the results at the end of the video and we have more videos coming.

In that final look at the gold, shouldn't it be UNDER all that black sand and not sitting on top? Its easily heavier than black sand. I would have expected the gold to have worked itself into the lowest part of the V's.

The black sand and the gold here are considered Hydraulic Equivalent, meaning the gold and the black sand are equal in size and weight. So that is why our gold is so hard to catch and why the Sawtooth mat was designed.
