That quote about "if it looks stupid but it works" is really something that I live by.

Thank you Chris, well done. Keep pressing forward mate, you'll get back in due time. I Want to thank Mick and Gadzee (the ones seen, and Mike and others trying not to leave anyone out) and( mine Boss Fern) along with the rest of the team (unseen) that help create the show, I love you ALL! It is the moment of Tooth, let's do this, im with all 4 of you in the prospecting world... ( you know... Dan, Pauley, Klesh and yourself and others that keep the prospecting world going). Love the videos mate, living my life through your boots... or wishing I could be in them. No gold near me, maybe soon... as I plan to move. Looking to the future for more videos, cant wait! Cheers mate from eastern 🇺🇸

You can separate the gold further tin by smelting. That might be faster.

I'd love to see you strike it crazy rich! You deserve it in my opinion

With everything going on KEEP moving forward , no matter what .thank you for sharing your wisdom and love , and life isn't always peaches and cream but it is what you you make it and brother you are doing it.

Welcome to what we go through in western Washington state, plus the magnetic material, pyrite, and mica. fun, fun ,fun. lol

Your the best bro I’ve watched your vids for a couple years now

Thanks for another great video Chris

a little tip about scorpions is to look at their pincers. the bigger the pincers the less deadly they are. you know if they have little thin pincers they are more venomous.

Great watch with my morning coffee. Thanks for sharing

You had water, and your hibanker was awesome, probably one of the best I've seen. It's small but it really worked good. Love watching, Benny

Thanks .. for what you ask its become you share your life with us.

Not bad for a spot that's been hammered ..I like the set up its nice and new .. ..definitely can't wait to see you use it on a rich spot !

"... on a scale of one to ten, how tired are you?"....nine and a half LMFAO

That is it always good to look around and see what you got and think what can I do with this pile.

nice gold good first run..thank you for sharing the adventure and clean up.

You are such a pleasant dude!

Ive always liked the keene hoppers and spray bars.

hey man I've started watching your videos quite some time ago and they are becoming better and better! from alluvial to hard rock mining - I really wish that I had the chance to do gold prospecting but no luck in my country (laws) and living in a huge city with no car

Awesome high banker bro, great gold as well! Good luck to you and Mick!

I love cleanup in the garage... With a few beers

That's a pretty good haul. Hope you're recovering well

that's quite a monster high banker. looks like a perfect spot for it, its exactly the right tool for the job so far. that water looks fun for the summer.. nice scorpion, healthy pan. You're right about the hours of clean up with mats, ect. That's why I like the GEO sluice California Mini Highbanker (no clean up mat or moss), but can't use it everywhere! Well done guys, thanks for the video!

Love watching Chris, he reminds me of a western Canadian farmer with how he Gerry rigs his equipment. Must have been a person from Saskatchewan in a former life

Hi Chris. For reedy creek I use a home made 8 inch high banker. I am running straight fine rib mat in it, about 3 feet long, as this reduces the amount of black sand I am left to deal with in my concentrates. I pan them out later. Good to see the water level is dropping too.

Great day! Of course your snuffer bottle is a highbanker part....your phone is also a camera!

Nice day at the creek. Good high banker.

That's a big boy banker! Noice!

Might seem crazy, but I've stopped using carpet in the hopper and -- minus a 6" piece of moss in the crash pad -- let the mats do their work. Not seeing any losses in the taiiings. And that's coming from super fine Indiana/US glacial gold deposits.

👍💥Beer fundage!

Awsome effort. I wouldn't want to be to doing too much to that highbanker.. just remember that was from a flogged out bit of ready creek so essentially it was getting what most others couldnt

Fern is turning out so great. You definitely struck gold with her.

Good day right there 👌👊

I love Fern so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Your new high banker looks a lot like my Proline. All but the color of the hopper. Hell of a machine

Great cleanup! 👋🏻😎 Going to check a culvert today

On a scale of 1-10, how tired is Mick? *Holds up 9 and 1/2 fingers* Better than a 10, I guess. Keep pushing!

love the riffles in that highbanker those riffles are the best i promise deffinetley with miners moss

Booyah!

There is a miller table out there that a gold vial attaches to to sweep your gold to...

Omg a new pump

I made my own separate table. it has unpolished carbon fiber set at .009 on high side with a row of gardening misters for water flow .it does a good job so far with only about 1 percent of loss over the edge

Hey Chris just got back last Wednesday from a week of high banking at sailors Creek Daylesford mosquitoes we're unbelievable, you're not going to believe it but l too have symptoms of rrv. Going to the doctor tomorrow for a blood test. It SUCKS

Bush-Fix Master 😉

Whoa nice! I hope you take that monster sluice back to the Mustard Pit, could chew through quite a bit of dirt!

Way to go on the temporary modifications...alot of hard work out there for sure.

When you mentioned clay I thought about the GoldHog highbanker with it's gate and wash method to hold the big clumps and pound them with water. I would guess the gold would setting into the upper most layers of that clay. Changing to that method of spraybar might let you get into the clay more and slightly increase the recovery? How did the tailings look? Extend the sluice with a flair into a wider sluice with some of that corkscrew mat for fine recovery?

WOW! great recovery of the small stuff. I only wish I was allowed to use that in Michigan, we are restricted to pans and small sluice boxes. The gold you got is similar in size to what I've been able to find.

Nice machine ,it's super fun to run bulk sometimes my brother has a gold hog raptor flare ,and that thing eats gravel too,it will where a guy out quick, nice pan smile

Can you magnetise the cons? We love Ferns new green toy.

The uwharrie River is the same,loaded with hematite id say 90% of my cons i get out of that river is black sands and -50 or smaller gold.

But you can handle it, it is good practice getting to dig, now if you were to put a jet tube between the pump and header box you could run a few yards per hour.

It ain't stupid if it works. Words to live by 😎 Here in Switzerland and probably also Germany/Austria? we know the Word "Providurium", which is the two Words "Provisorium" (temporary measure) and "Dauerhaft" (permanetntly) mashed together into one Word. It describes both temporary installations and repairs that never get replaced because they just work and most often do that even better than the Original. A good and well known "Providurium" is the Eifeltower in Paris: Buildt only temporarely for one single Worldexpo it still stands. Or a Machinerepair with a Shoelace because there were no Parts available at the Time, and when the Machine gets thrown to the Trash12Years later, that temporary Shoelace repair is still in use... Greetings from Switzerland.

What kind of dog is Fern.....? Love that mutley... 👍😎

Glad to see you're using some new recovery systems not the rebuilt scrapyard stuff And it looks like you need 2 shovels at a time instead of just one you might be able to do twice as much material

Fine flat gold ? Welcome to Lake Superior beach mining…✅ That highbanking will certainly keep you in shape. That particular spot may be better suited for a more passive mat system, way less concentrates !

Have you ever considered a collab with Ewasteben ? He's in Melbourne. Would be interesting!

Man way to nice gear. Who are you and when did this occur. That looks awesome for fun though man.

always have a roll of gorilla tape for them fix-in-field repairs!

With the new hibanker could you reduce the water flow to rinse the mesh off,or does the dis assembly process make that not possible,just thinking of a better way for wash down.

I forgot that I have made two miller tables… but that one is sexy!

Seeing is your gold is so small and in danger of floating away - have you considered froth flotation to seperate the gold from the cassiterite?

Have you tried a shaker table for your tailings

@VoGusProspecting

No i have not.

When you have all that black sand can’t you just smelt the material? Then run a specific gravity test to find out the density of the final piece of metal? Not sure that would be very salable. But could you do it?

I’m in NSW and wish I was able to use a high banker illegal here to use which S#X.

That's a nice hi banker.mines home made...lol.trade ya...straight up.lol

I just think it's cool how it took you years to get to 100k subs and in just a few months you've surpassed 150k

You must be aware of the cyanide process for Ag and Au recoveries. When your gold source is producing ultra-tiny flakes -- you can assume that even more gold is in the brew -- yet so tiny that it fades to BLACK. Yes, hyper-fine gold looks black. It also responds to cyanide solution.

Quite impressive highbanker but I have to say I got about 1.2 grams in around 5 hours of sluicing with my home made highbanker a couple of years ago.
