Tip for the freeze dried dinners: bring a touque to insulate the package so it can rehydrate and stay hot. When you’re ready to eat, if it’s cold out (like it looked in the video), a warm touque and a hot meal is always nice.
Hi Kyle. Thank you for making the amount of extra work showing the different areas catching. Looks good. And don't forget flour gold is the most difficult one to get. Nice video. Cheers Tom
I would be an epic mission to fulfill! I love the feeling of shaking around the heavy gold in the nice solid glass bottle... What's YOUR bottle of choice?
I think you did a great job out their testing that setup. The flour gold your catching is extremely hard. One of these days I'll graduate to a system like that when I can afford one lol. But for now I'm happy just panning it 😊
I very much enjoyed this part. But I figure that a whole bunch of good stuff is sitting on the cutting room floor. A shame there was not a further Part or two of this outing.
you can run a magnet over those riffles to clean that black sand out the devin gold mats while the waters goin. you may also have it runnin a little hot and high angled. dont think you should be having gold make it that far down your cleanup but then again its pretty fine. looks great though and a lot of fun. I gotta get back out there! from one Kyle to another thanks for sharing!
Try other brands too. Different meals... or same meal/different brands, side by side comparison. Maybe with a friend! There's quite a variety and definitely handy!
Nice pile of gold! Your trip totals are equal to entire seasons I have had in the past before I owned a highbanker. Goes to show the importance of multiple capture areas, and the idea of adding another 10 inches to the end of your sluice. A guy I know on the Fraser River uses 12 feet of sluice for similar gold to yours (though the Fraser has much more black sand than the NSR).
Yeah, can't complain any day you're doing better than a gram I guess! It's such an interesting balance of max recovery rate and keeping things light and compact. I really pushed the running conditions to test some of the worst case scenario, so I'm still pleased with recovery. I know the extra foot of length would catch a bit more, but it's not like it would get 100% of it... diminishing returns the longer you go. Somewhere between 36 and 48" is a good compromise I think, I like how compact it is so I could mount it on the back of a seadoo if I ever went that rout again, and strapped to a pack frame through the bush I like the shorter length. I feel there will never be a "perfect" setup, but for my personal Alberta needs I feel this is getting close...
@@UtmostOutdoors - agree, anything that makes it down that far is going to be significantly harder to catch! The PopAndSon guys talk about catching 85% down to -200 mesh I think.
Watching this on the big screen right now...just wait man, in 5 more years you won't even be able to see those fly p**ps, so your recovery will be 100%, LOL! I'd really love to pick up one of your boxes as soon as it's ready...let me know!
My failing eyesight will eventually lead to 100% recovery! Haha love it! Should have the boxes ready for sale within a couple weeks. Working on the production build video now...
22:54 what will a extendet double sluice weight? inkl mat and extendet metal. on my mind set it is better to have a longer sluice to catch anything posible what is going down the sluice. i like your doublesluice . my worry about this is, the gold used one or the other sluice but always only one and this is "short".... but on the other hand you show, that you don´t loose much.... maybe its the same thing about "what oil need my car" :D
The nature of gold mining is that there will always be things to learn and experiment with. I found that I was happy with the gold recovery and that the length was a good compromise. I just picked what I like, and assume it will work for most peoples situations as the longer you go there will be diminishing returns on recovery. I think anything between 36" and 48" is reasonable. One thing that helps is because the sluice is 20" wide, it does not tend to get overloaded as easily with each big shovel, and captures a higher percentage of gold in a shorter length as a result.
How many fair dinkum pushups can you do ? I guess you can do 25 Perhaps you could do some sort of Giveaway Competition where your Loyal Subscribers and Viewers can have a guess and then do a tape of the answer.
