Parker Tries The Most Advanced Floating Wash Plant In The World! | Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail 

people are so amazed by what is essentially a raspberry Pi with a couple servos and switches attached. This is literally a weekend project to make those mods, which is probably why they are being so secretive about it, so they can sell it at a huge markup.

its important to make sure there is a camera pointed at the cameraman

Not a single piece of gold shown...

I do it differently, without any technique😁

Parker impressed by on/off controls in one place rather than running to from plant to diverter to pump🤣

It's like a dredge but not a dredge. It has the inner workings of a dredge but not able to self load. That being said, I believe something like that would work well on dredging ground. Maybe Parker should sell the idea to Tony Beets as he has run dredges in the past

Blue Tooth connected controls !! Wow ...!! 👏👏👏😃 Hi-Tech stuff. Thanks Parker 😃😃

i like the idea of all the cameras, allowing each area of operation to be viewed from the digger, Parker should definitely use that on his own wash plants.

Nice piece of kit, but with how often things go down, adding more gadgets just seems like more hassle.

This is the only show that has camera angle designed to record the camera man

If I had parkers experience I be looking for a claim in Australia to run a small crew. They say they have some big nuggets down under. Less heavy equipment smaller crews.

All a put on just for the show Fake setup

I like the show. Everybody but I'm over the cameraman filming yourself and sticking his two cents in shut the F up do your job and film.

Whats up with the dude filming himself filming 😂😂

Good to hear Fred Lewis is gone, him and his kid wanted to be movie stars. I have been a faithful fan of the show enjoyed watching Parker grow up and accomplished the things he’s done most of Parker crew are or seem to be good hard working people. I wish this show would have been around 25 years ago, I would have been up there working for one of the miners ( quite sure ). Freddy and Juan are still my favorite personalities around the gold rush groups.

Buy it parker..

Filming the cameraman is stupid. Stop it.

It's garbage. It can't move enough material in a day like Parkers operation in Alaska. It's a Fail...

Parker I don’t remember a guy as young as you ever in the miner industry and a owner/operator. Parker your maturity level is excellent for business and your family did a great job with your up bringing! Bravo Parker ! God bless America 🇺🇸

I don't mean to take away from the design, engineering, time and everything that's gone into this "most advanced floating wash plant" but it's quite literally the same thing as a dredge but less capable since it doesn't have the mining equipment. Sure the concept is different being loaded with a loader or excavator but that's just a more complicated dredge as logistics have to be more thorough for efficacy of this operation. Since it has to have a pond it can navigate but also have a berm to load from, then needs further excavated for expansion. It honestly seems like it'd have been more efficient to tie this concept into an existing dredge platform and just adding another hopper for ground loading as well...

Looks like Parker's gonna be a baby daddy soon😆😆😆!

why is the camera man being filmed???? seriously!

Ever see the destruction parker leaves behind in the yukon? you can see it from space but when you see it in person absolutely stocking great to see you going to Alaska all the best

If I was Parker I had to design my own and haven't made just like that one except for ground and water I would have been concerned also that I didn't get to see the cleanup of how much gold that actually produces I think that alone made his decision

Egg bible 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎eggs egg, meat loaf.water. 😎😎😎🔥🔥

After watching the first few disasters on gold rush years ago I said why don't they have a radio control or remotes to turn it all off when things go awry instead of this madness running around to manually turn it all off, not exactly rocket science is it.

What’s with the camera man getting face time. It’s just weird

Shots of the cameraman are annoying. Please stop it!

Parker time to Build the plant that best for YOU

Looks great but how do you keep everything at the right angle when it's floating and the hopper is being filled and emptying and the conveyer may sometimes have nothing on it? The trommel screen etc is designed for a particular angle from horizontal.

Cameraman talking and filming is so annoying

Thanks!

If Parker runs that plant, that would be IT. But I'm sure he'll have someone run it. And will see Parker, every now and then. Not like before.

Es una buenísima serie yo la veo de cuando Parker salió del colegio y cuando su abuelo Y abuela todavía estaban hace unos 9 años atrás sigue siendo una buena serie habla Daniel

Imagine if grandpa would have seen this I miss him so much being on the show he reminds me so much of my grandpa so much

It a Yukon dreg without the bucket belt....just like Tony's one. Only smaller,...way smaller.

If you took that platform and put 6 independently moving tracks under it. That could rise and lower to terrain. And also level the rig on uneven ground. It would work in the Yukon. I think at least. I could make that system work.

What an amazing piece of equipment. Good job Parker!

That's not a bad price for that machine if I was in the market I would definitely be looking for investing in one of these machines

this cameraman never mis opportunity get himself in the shot

Thanks Parker. That's really nice of you to show us this method of mining. I could have said, method of madness but I'm going easy on you today.

Parkar my best worker

My gramps left me a fortune but I still can't be cool for nothing!!

Tony be like: been there done that… no not the only one in Alaska mate…

2:54 Camera captures the camera guy taking shots...of a camera.

Seems like Parker could have one made that is on four tracks and self-leveling that he could drive it around when it needs to be moved rather than dragging it and then do all the other remote control stuff too like this one had

WOW Tyler has been into the doughnuts.

You would trust parkers judgement 100% , I would

My dream business gold prospecting

Wow a one person operation

Tony be like: Mate I’ve levers on my ‘flotahs’ your years, where you been?

So it's a dredge without the bucket line. BFD.

would love to have a go on that! The machine looks cool too!

Does it like cold Temperatures 😂😂😂

Good Kiwi Ingenuity, keep up the good work cuz, don't give them to many of your secrets.

why didnt they just build a small dredge..... now they have to be concerned with having loader space when they could just have it all on one, but might be other factors we dont see like relocation, but they made it sound like that thing will live its entire life on that claim and retire there like many dredges in the yukon.

There is no way this is as efficient as Tony Beatz's floating dress this floating dredge you still got a load of with an excavator tony's does it with a chain bucket system I'd say Tony beats is way better

What a class operation and machine. Innovation is key.

Cool machine. Just one question... Did Parker get his Australian side kick preggos?? Lol

I love that the first 3 comments got it right!!

I think Parker missed out on some opportunities there. Sure, the floating wash plant wasn't suited for the terrain in Canada and Alaska, but every technical advancements that makes that machine so user friendly can be installed in pretty much any land-based sluice you'd want to pay for.

What a weird angle showing the cameraman’s face…a bit much ya think?

Better hope you don't lose your water rights. But then again if you put a wash plant on wheels that Rais and lower just think how fast and easy a plant move could be.

the big problem in alaska yukon is making sure the pay dirt is thawed completely before putting it into the wash plant and that is a challenging problem with a floater style plant. they did it in the old days in the yukon/alaska but it will take a team of people that will have to specialize in thawing the ground ahead of the working floater plant that is always working ground that is underwater and very cold water. they could use the cold water thawing points method that have high pressure cold water injected in to a chisel point thawing as you rotate it down in to the frozen gravels but it is a longterm type operation a full season ahead of the floater dredge that would excavate and process the hopefully thawed material but it is a tough expensive slow job. this is why the miners in the yukon/alaska work like they do as it is proven and a set up can be moved to better locations easier if need be than other methods. there have been floaters up there for 40 plus years that work well in certain situations only. i got to see 87 pup mined by tony as i had staked that ground around 1994 when it was forfeited by the regional mining recorder but i never recorded it as after inspecting the area as it was too big a undertaking for us back then. it looked like he got some results out of it🤗

Bluethoot connection for critical operation ? Nope I really doubt it's a BT connection.

So if you get rid of the digger and add some kind of dirt feeding mechanism to it, you will end up with a Dredge, and reinvented a 100 years old idea :D

Stupid question 🙋 Can’t you just add wheels and water line hookups? Then it can be a floating, or non floating wash plant. Amazing as is👍

When Parker said no this guys heart sank and the producers saw he was not about to continue talking

It occurs to me that it’s basically a dredge that doesn’t do it’s own digging and has some cameras and servo’s on it. Still very cool.

Looks like a basic plant but it floats and has some central control, I don't really see what makes it THAT advanced aside from that mining is generally pretty primitive and rudimental.

That's cool but can you run the plant if the controls go out in the excavator?

sluice runs should be higher above the water level...

I'm suprised they don't have one of the sluice machines on a big truck so it is easy to move around.

What happens if the excavator breaks down! is the plant down till it's repaired, being that the plant is controlled from the cab. Just a thought. Can the blue tooth plant controls be easily removed and set up in another excavator.

Parker can always use the camera idea along with plant shut off inside the tractor.

i love gold discovers love from pakistan

I’m more surprised by the operators sideburns! Can he go any higher!? 😅

PARKER is innovative and the future of Gold Excavation. Tony beets is old school and will fail.

All parker needs to do is take this unit remove the floats and equip it with 4 omni Directional tracks and he can position the wash plant exactly the same. Yes he would need to drag a line and dispense of the wash water via a trench but not difficult

he going the Yukon or Alaska? 2 different places...!!

I disagree. How do you thaw.. Frozen ground? W/water.. Seems like a perfect match

Lets get the CAMERA-MANS opinion???? what a joke

What's with seeing the camera man's face every two seconds????

Should of sent in freddy.... total waste of money an time watching.

Typical, finding ways to eliminate workers.

Wish they would stop with that stupid camera man angle. Bizzaro.

Really those floating wash plants were the first ones in the Yukon. Early 1900s

I was thinking fill in the cut with water.would kind of thaw out the permafrost some. You doing a quarter acre cut at the time. you should be able to make a system to where it could warm the water at the same time. And all the permafrost out so you would be able to dig the cut

These weight loss ads are too much. I weight 220lbs. I don’t give a shit about losing weight.

Wow, Bluetooth connected systems... lol Parker, if you ever need a "computer guy" give me a ring :D

Rocks are different in Alaska. There’s no grizzly bar. And what kind of return will is produce

That chick from Aussie gold hunters. Bleh. Must of ate that dingo

Never seen before a camera man who spends more time on the camera VERY ANNOYING

Devastating nature due to the greed of some people.Disgusting!

It work in the Amazon and probably improve the environmental damage that is happening there

I'm confused. I thought it was a dredger what's the point of a floating wash plant?

All looks great but what's gonna happen when the water freezes?

I thought muddy water is bad for gold sluicing?
