Your design is great. It's perfect for the single or couple of VIRGIN PROSPECTORS ... If you'd add ADJUSTABLE "ARMS" to your FILL BOX arm and ROCK FALL arms, you'd be able to reduce your losses of the soil or sediment changes ... and you could add a "weight pressure switch to adjust water pressure" to automatically increase or decrease the water flow ... I'll accept your next prototype ... for my suggestions ... 😆 🤣 😂 😹 Just, "My thoughts" ... Great video. Thank you! God bless us all, Amen.

Wow! That’s a fine looking cleanup!

Good job men. Awesome color.

Looks like the coarser screen has helped a lot for the water bubbles . The screen I used on my sluice was 1/4". You most likely won't need a bubble curtain from what I've seen . Just a little bit of tweaking and you'll have the best sluice for fine gold anywhere. Which is what most gold is . The great thing is very little scour . Looks too that you had a lot of vegetative debris . Great run, great gold, great out fit and no doubt a great time being self employed

Onestly bro nice to see

Such a long and excellent video has way too much to talk about for a single youtube comment. So I'll just say that is was fantastic, and I only just noticed you were up to 37.000 subs! It feels like it was only last month that you were hoping for 2.000. So huge congratulations on a cool trip, lots of gold and lots of subscribers! :) One thing that's really worth talking about: I think your flared sluice design is contributing big time to the lack of scouring in the mats. I was playing around with the same idea, and it makes perfect sense that a flared design makes the gold less and less likely to get lost the further down it gets, mathematically approaching the "perfect" capture rate. Absolutely top notch design man. And as usual an amazing attention to detail how you document all the statistics.

@UtmostOutdoors

Жыл бұрын

Thanks Dean! Yeah, the subs came in pretty quick there for a while, I kind of can't believe it... I just have to try and pretend I'm still talking to just my first 1000 subs or I get nervous... About the flared sluice, I really do like knowing that the flow is going to be just right at some point along the run... and the narrower part has higher flow and so can handle more feed rate per width and so it all just kinda works out. I like it so much, that I would almost be curious to see what would happen if I built a non flared box just to compare to! lol. I'll keep the stats and info coming as long as I can! I hope we all learn something as I continue to experiment and everyone can wind up with more fine gold at the end of the day!

Great post

In fact it has been somewhat stagnant for some time now ( thankfully )

I would put another smaller sprayer nozzle facing backwards above the fine screen area. Im thinking an adjustable top tray which can be removed for transport is not a bad idea either. And Ive never used a highbanker but its not too different from a dredge. A good rule is to clean it out when you shut the water off other wise the fresh impulse of water washes some gold out!

Great video kyle . Like to see that the new highbanker worked so good , I still like the crash box design , or as you say gold fingers . watching your videos gets me anxious to get out I just can’t had shoulder surgery this year and off for the year 😢

Thanks! for the miller table, I just start out with the water recirculation tub completely cleaned out and empty, and just use the whole tub as my catch basin. Then whatever makes it into that tub (there is gold that slips by) I can just store that small amount in a contained to run all at once at the end of the year.

i can see this high banker next year will have all sorts of computerized controls on it to adjust slope. water speed. grading material and give real time gold mining results. Kyle will just be sitting on the bank viewing this all on his ipad and telling his crew where to dig next. 😀

I need to buy one of your machine guys

@utmostoutdoors wonder if u guys could make adjustable legs so could lower close to wheel barrel height an maybe use bucket to feed sluice an or keep wheel barrel full idk just thought could help in getting stuff to location prospecting also so if worked it have more than one advantage

If you're seeing gold that close to the end of the sluice, you're probably losing gold off the edge. You need less pitch on the angle

hahaha... great ausy voice

Seeing gold that close to the bottom of your sluice! Tells me me your loosing gold. Youre sluice should run into a 4 tire gold cube. That way you capture EVERY THING It ALL Adds uo !!!

VDR is a copy of the Goldwell Sluice.

I’d say about 37% in the hopper

18%

Hey check out the flower gold wizard he has a new water thing that somebody is recommended to him for running on the sluices that works even better than the what you've got right now and I believe you should have some Jet-Dry in your water I would hope
