Chris... if you want to make your bucket loads lighter... build a little 10 gal. barge and float it down the creek. Or, stick each bucket in a little innertube. 😆

I'm sorry to hear bout your grandpa. Grandparents are fountains of knowledge and we are always too young to soak it in. Give Fernie a hug for me.

@MickTee2k 7 месяцев назад

Considered a hybrid approach to collecting the dirt? Shovel into pan, classify, quickly reduce to heavies, dump heavies into bucket, heavies go into high-banker? That should reduce the issues with mesh size.

How to get free Buckets. This has worked for me. Have a friend that paints for a living. Painters buy 5-gallon buckets of paint it is a lot cheaper. To get the dried paid out a metal dish scrubber we call it Chor Boy, it is fast and easy. Dry Wall construction also had 5-gallon buckets. Behind restaurant's has food containers washed out. Get a degreaser and wash it out with a water hose. People that farm and have livestock also have 5-gallon buckets. Farmers that harvest or pick food use 5-gallon buckets. I am from America so, these are the ways I get buckets for Free. I have found that f you just ask most places do not need the buckets they are in the way. They may not be perfect but free is good.

@The_Filming_Company 7 месяцев назад

putting empty crushed milk cartons between each bucket, will make you never have to worry about them getting stuck again

G'day Chris, I used to buy second hand pickle buckets from Maccas back in the day. They came with lids and smelled like pickles but they were a lot cheaper than from the big green shed. Just used to ask at the counter if they had any pickle buckets.

Chris, before they dried up the rivers in Arizona to make lakes, like lake pleasant, for the power companies, I had used miners moss with rubber small riffles under it...of course that was a quarter century ago when I could walk, BUTT Now I worked hard & Can walk Again!! Bummer is, we are without water unless it rains, so I use miners moss in small recirculating slices. Rock on bro...oh, by the way, sapphires can be purple, Red & green too, a Refractometer will help you sort your gemstones

I try an have multiple mats. (Expanded metal over miners moss and v-mat at the head and gold hog mat further down) nothing gets away. I never rely on a single "Mat" to capture everything. Cheers!

@scottowens1535 7 месяцев назад

Chris The two five gallon buckets aren't for carrying twice as much. There for making it twice as easy on your back 😊 the point being fill each one halfway full 🎉🎉🎉 😉

I just picked up Crux Gold Trek and live it. It will fold up and fit in a 5gallon bucket so I can back pack it in the mountains from Maine to New Hampshire. Very well built and light weight with different grizzly bars to choose from. Also I believe Pioneer Pauly is using one now and again.

They harm no one, destroy nothing, they just go about their daily activities regardless of where they are. Thank you for asking.

Doc at gold hog coined the name distruction chamber for the area you put the pay dirt into. I like to put mats in the bottom of the distruction chamber and run it flat or even at a negitive slope so the gravel getts completely washed as i work it back and forth with a short handled garden hoe over the punch plate

@Golden-dog88 7 месяцев назад

hey Chris just a suggestion if that hog mat dosnt work that well next time your at bunnings grabbin another 5 buckets, grab 1 or 2 of those flexible plastic tubs to put at the end of the sluice to catch any potential loss

@shyPandemonium 7 месяцев назад

That piece of jasper was really pretty, and I loved that sapphire you pulled out too. I liked the idea of your frankensluice lol, switching out the mat and changing the size of that punch plate and I betcha it’ll be perfect for what you want it for. Great video Chris ❤

If you spin the buckets in opposite directions, they come apart a lot easier. A little bit of water kept in them helps as well.

@a.b.c.adventures3484 7 месяцев назад

For the super flat and tiny flakes, I have found expanded metal over miners moss works the best. The Molded rubber mats seem to be best for super tiny specs and corse gold. I would recommend doing a small test at home with your cons and see if it works with the gold you find.

@goldfeverreliever 7 месяцев назад

Cheers Chris, been feeling flat and needed to see some fresh gold. Can't get out because of crappy body so this video hit the spot 👍

@kelterskelter1969 7 месяцев назад

just use astroturf carpet & 2 sizes of expanded metal riffles, rest of the franenbanker works, hey

@danhodgins4015 7 месяцев назад

That is pretty much the design behind the PopAndSon sluice out of the US. It works exceptionally well on fine / flour gold.

@thehorde9798 7 месяцев назад

Use compressed air to get the buckets apart. Even dust off with the red straw works.

@andypandyAU.6669 7 месяцев назад

Great vid on the creek, have youcthought about a flexible sloar panel. Roll it out it will give you more run time for each battery . . the "Frankenstien" sluice, mate. Mix up your catch zones , 1 x "V matt," expanded mesh with grass or miners moss, then gold hog & dream matt! As Freddy Dodge said, " it's fickle ( gold). I dont like that spot, I like that spot. Not that I am in any way an expert! ( you taught me), but I glean as much info as I can from everyone. I have repeatedly tested my tailings, and I think a 99.9% catch rate is pretty good. Love what ya do, mate. I'm glad you are still punching out great content. It gives me a very high benchmark. ❤it 😊

@chriscarley9951 7 месяцев назад

Hey Chris, why don't you order a different type of Hog mat, like Talon or Motherload, cut it, put it in there, and tested at the house with a known amount of gold and check your course and fine tailings.

@OptishockClips 7 месяцев назад

congrats... My tips for the big buckets is... if you take a saw, a pretty short piece of thick Treestick and saw a groove into the Branch it does not hurt your Artworkershands while carrying this huge Buckets if you use these branches as insulation for the bucket handles... Supermarkets should have this...anyway plasticbags are forbidden here in grey Germany

@asjamuir5534 7 месяцев назад

Good gold for the work done for sure mini franken does need more work maybe make some of your own mats to have deeper holes for the black sand to stay in and the au😊

@Side85Winder 7 месяцев назад

The frankenstine highbanker was good and the fixes are easy. Next time your at bunnings there is a grey miners moss door mat for $8.50 and add some expanded mesh on top. Its seriously the best and chespest gold capture mat you can get and its seriously better than most of those high tech new age mats. I have even ran the grey noodle door mat with no expanded mesh on top and it is just awesome, you just have to clean out more often. The mesh does allow the exchange of material better and helps wash out material. You will get a lot more cons than the high tech mats so be warned your cons bucket can get heavy. When in doubt set up a sluice at the end of your highbanker and keep or check the cons of that. From memory you own something like a adventure sluice. It doesn't have to be perfect but just something to do a basic check. I often sit a pan at the end and let the water flow in and over the riffles till its full.

@Matts_Crevice_tools 7 месяцев назад

Hi Chris. Congrats on a great clean up. I run the good hog in my trommel. I occasionally attach a 12” river sluice with dream mat on the end, most of the time when I clean up the extension I have next to. I gold in it. I would suggest making a miners moss and ripple before the good hog mat. Call it a top Mat. Happy digging.

@danielgalbraith144 7 месяцев назад

I invested in a gold trek highbanker, its plastic, folds up and fits in a backpack, really durable, not a fan of the mats though, produces alot of cons but gold losses are very small

@oklarocks 7 месяцев назад

Since you dont like that mat, put a bucket at the end and let the water run into it and catch any missed gold in the bucket. You can pan it out at the end.

@toddstarling5214 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing Chris.

@danhodgins4015 7 месяцев назад

The Crux highbanker with a 2,000 GPH bilge pump would give you way more production capability. It has two different sizes of grizzly bars (1/4" or 1/2") you can swap in/out to adapt to different areas. Run it with a wider extension containing 1+ variations in capture media (e.g. expanded + astroturf, ribbed carpet or rough top conveyor belt), and you would be unstoppable. Source: I own one, and have used it for 2+ years. P.S. You can run the Crux machine with an 1,100 GPH pump, but you would need to switch out the default matting and use something super low profile e.g. ribbed carpet or conveyor belt)--- with no riffle or expanded metal on top.

@1kreature 7 месяцев назад

Cassiterite is only density 7 vs gold 19 so as long as you classify to within a 2x volumetric ratio it will be cleanly separable. That means a mesh hole ratio of 1.25 max. That's a very tight classification! I think you can only go 5 pr standard us sieve size. In tyler that means 16, 20, 24, 28, 32 Mesh would ALL have to be used to keep classification tight enough. That's a LOT of sifting!

@That_vagabond98 7 месяцев назад

I know it might sound dumb and it's something extra to bring but you should build a yoke for your buckets it's like one of those things people used to bring water buckets back from a well and it just hangs the buckets off your shoulders about 30cm down to about hip level it will save your arms in the long run and ease up stress on your back muscles as well because your shoulders aren't being pulled down their supporting that weight above your centre of gravity

@salamiinferno 7 месяцев назад

The gold hog piglet might be up your alley for a mid sized sluice. It runs best on a gas pump, but I run one well off a 4,700gph bilge pump.

@markfoust8910 7 месяцев назад

I watched this video 3 times to try to help you figure out your loss. How about adding a jarvey riffle plate at the top and miners moss and riffles more toward the bottom of the sluice!! Just an idea. The jarvey will catch the v mat will catch what the javey doesn't and the miners mat and regular riffles should catch the rest

A very wise and observant man once said, "If you put a hole in the bottom of all your buckets they'll never get stuck together." I could voice no argument. Of course the moral of the story was we suck when it comes to making buckets. Where did that picker come from? Looked very, very fresh. Hm.

@Golden-dog88 7 месяцев назад

picker came from his nose, had it there for safekeeping 😂

@randydixon9512 7 месяцев назад

Well, you pointed out yourself the big problem, the mat in the multi-sluice is meant to lose gold, at least it is meant to clean gold so which is sort of the same thing. Personally I like drop riffles for prospecting and miner's moss/expanded for working but different Gold Hog mats will do the job.

Here's a thought. Glue some pool noodles to the bottom of your bucket. Not only will they not stick together when you stack them, but it should give the bucket some buoyancy when you carry them thru water.
