Bucketing Dream Mat Sluice Experiment With Uneven Water Flow For Gold Recovery 

Some pretty nice gold and enjoyed the video.

Nice work guys 👊🏻🤠👍🏻

I enjoy a good testing video!!!😎✅✅✅🍺🍺🍺

Nice. Thanks for taking the time to make this vid. Give us more options out in the field. Nice bit of yellow in the end.

Cheers for sharing

Good video, good gold, good test. Nice.

Hi Guys Great to see some Gold..👍 Merry Christmas 🎄 Cheers Tony.👍🤓🍺⛏🎄

Огромная благодарность!

Most enjoyed the video...

Nice test !!! Merry Christmas 🎄

Great video, you two. I know I love the dream mat, for several reasons. Great Test! Nice Flash In Your Pan hahaha Thanks for sharing, my friends...

I became a member of the channel

Nice job !

Proper test on no flow -on off flow for both situations Great Job Mates.Happy Holidays Down-under.

Another awesome episode. Thank you for sharing with us. Merry Christmas 🎁

Really enjoyed this video wish I could get Australia to dig so cool

Going online to look at dream mat sliuces now,good video😁

Hi Alicia & Steve, nice looking bits of flaky gold . Thanks for showing your method of using this type of sluice and the results. I'd just like to wish you and your respective families a Merry Xmas and a safe New Year. May 2020 bring you all good health, happiness and prosperity. Thank you for sharing all your prospecting and detecting adventures, as well as your floating dredge pump build, it's been great coming along for the viewing ride ! Take care my friends 👍.

Great comparison guys, Running water isn't always available, good result at the end and it didn't look like you lost anything apart from fly poop... like your theory Steve catch and release LOL 🤣🤣👍 Great video guys love the Hat Alicia HH jim 👍🍺🍺🍺

Cool video good demonstration looks like it works to me 👍🏻be safe & pan on

Now that's really a lot of work but it works. Good for you guys

Merry Christmas! Really terrific pan of gold at the end. I'm sold on the dream mat.

Yeah the community needs more real world usage videos of Dream mat. That is a setup I've not seen how it's bucket fed on the water like that. Very good results speak for themselves. Good one 👍

It seemed to work well and a nice little bit of gold :)

Good job

Nice test team Groty ! Not bad color I would use the dream mat too ! Merry Christmas and cheers 👍⚒😊

I just bought a Keene A52s super sluice and will have to try that bucketing the water for when the water flow is too slow. I am going to love not having to classify.

Good video you two!!! That was interesting to see the Dream Mat was so much more efficient and faster to pan the cons!!!! Nice amount of gold also!!!

Nice Work

Nice one gang Yea the dream Matt is the go ay Better results and easy clean up Cool guys Wishing you and family a merry Christmas and happy new year Crouch

I gotta say that an awesome pan of gold....looks like some flakes in there ....

I really like that the moss and mesh is still just perfectly fine as a gold recovery method. More and more people are taking cons home to run in a cleanup sluice, so to me the amount of cons is moot unless you want to pan it out each time. To me, the time you’d spend panning the cons at the creek you could have fed another 10 shovels into the sluice. That’s just my opinion. I’d rather have the safety net of processing cons at home anyway. I really like the gold rat classifier! Not having to bucket classify seems to make a big difference. Jason on the “Flour Gold Wizards” channel uses a piece of “punch plate” ( same as the front of the gold rat ) on top of his entire sluice and he just shovels right onto the sluice. He has good flow in his creek but I really like how easy it clears off. A big Plus for you, is unlike him you aren’t breaking up ice in the creek right now! Lol So basically, stop being so concerned about the equipment and get out on the creek and start feeding material into it! I really enjoyed this video! Cheers!

Good to see you back mate. We highly recommend the dream mat and all gold rat products.

Great video 👍 really enjoyed watching this 😊 Great channel you have

Just got a dream mat last year, I had the same results less cons, lots of fine gold, thank you for your test.

Good effort people , have a great and safe Christmas !

Nice job! Soz I'm late. Need to try this top classification again,maybe with checker mesh to try catch the nugs wer I go💛

That's looks like relaxing fun..... Hard work, but fun .....

Grate little test and really good to know, been running dream a year here in the UK we are not allowed high bankers or dredges so was thinking of bucketing water but was very worried with uneven flow. Thank you for trying and sharing this may try it on my next trip out.. 🤙👍

Thanks Alicia & Steve for this test. Now I know if my Banker pump runs out of petrol I can still bucket the water in. I've been wondering how the Dream Mat would take uneven water flow but keep forgetting to try it. Cheers, Ken

After watching a few of your vids using this sluice, I made one of my own. I used Pvc Coil Cushion Mat from Clark Rubber for the Miners Moss and put a rubber mat with circle divots in it. I used a gold rat 12 inch blank box but wish I had done a 10 or 8, The clean up was a bit annoying and quite heavy to mess around with, I used a 12 inch electrical cable tray from a nearby skip bin for the classifier, did its job. My second attempt is using astro turf and the circle divot mat on top. I may still grab an 8 inch blank and try another one. I put a few slots and used all thread as cross members to keep the matting down. To make the legs I have purchased a cheap shelving kit from bunnings and it will work fine. Great vid thanks! 😀

New sub! Awesome video

nice gold its good for only a few shovel fulls keep it up

Ordered a 10x36" Dream mat from River Rat in Aussie land. It's ALL on back order. I paid $206 to have it shipped to Oregon, even paid Express shipping. (Y so high) 🤦‍♂️ still hasn't gotten here in 2 weeks. Once it got to LA, it disappeared. Think the tracking number changed wout me knowing. But yeah, If your planning a trip and want one.....ORDER EARLY. Oh yeah, thanks Groty, it was this video that sold the Dream Mat for me.😉

Hi A & S, Once again you have nailed the presentation. That is the way I'm going as I have the 6 inch from Justin, need to get the punch plate setup. Merry Christmas. Dennis

Cool first to watch 👍

Nice, I was thinking you were gunna run the cons of the miners moss through the dream mat. Would've saved a bit of time panning all those cons off.

Everyone loves miners moss. It catches a lot of gold.

Awsome

Great video, loved the music, I was enjoying the whole video!

Having a coke with the gals 😂😂😂 mans reaction 😂😂😂

They are using the Dream Mat on beach gold here in Washington State. That says a lot as it is really fine powder.

If you haven't seen already , Look up PVC Ram pump or Bunyip water pumps . Easy to build , No electricity ,No gas and No bucketing water . Great for river sluice . You could do a video on parts list and build.

Interesting when l first seen the dream matt a few months back l didn't think it would work but after seeing your test it looks like it works well. Bucketing all that water is a bummer though

Awesome

Nice jpb!!

Good experiment Guys , i suppose anything that saves time ,and still obtains the same yield , is a plus , and that's what it's all about , not having the boring job of dealing with too much overburden , so thanks for the insight , cheers guys well done , and Merry Xmas to you both and your family , stay safe .

You`re an excellent play by play narrator. Nice gold quite chunky. I didn`t see much micro like what was in your tailing pan, do you think you might have much more if you were in the finer gold?

awesome

I am really glad you did this video, I am in Tassie and we aren't allowed any pumps at all so this method is about the only way other than panning that we can legally use. I have a sluice with the dream mat in it and i couldn't find any other videos addressing the uneven water flow issue. The only other issue is does it matter what angle you have the sluice at? I am thinking that the forward classifier needs to be nearly level and that will give the water a better flow rate and make the classifier work better?

Very interesting video guys, well done. What angle did you run the dream mat at when bucket feeding.

Is that sluice classifier home made, or where can I get one from please, looks really handy.

Heckuva, that's Motherlode yields!!

What is the name of the sluice you are using and the classifier that goes in it? Thanks.

Does it matter the last few inches of that sluice mat are left uncovered and could be bashed by bigger rocks in the classifying stage? Meaning, could you be losing gold as the bigger cobbles fall from above? Or is all the gold trapped way up above?

Yep

Would like to have seen if any gold losses from the first set of mats.

The only question remaining is, how long to justify the expense of the dream mat?

ever consider using these dream mats in your makeshift hand dredge?

I'd go back, work that perla spot & get rich. 👍

390th👍

does your highbank sieve also work with current in the water?

Just like using an old Rocker Box

9:15 I'd run that bucket of cons through the Dream Mat, catching those tailings to go through at home. By the way, *_LOVE_* that classifier.

I don’t know why but that sluice gives me anxiety.

which part of oz guys??

Why are you not using a pump

👍👍👍👍👍👑😂🎩

You have to kiss em before you throw them back

Seems like a Highbanker would work much better than a bucket

I love you like u

Why not make a rock dam.......??

That music is awful. Good otherwise on the vid.

Hello I was wondering what Airea are you working in this video...
