Its a way to cheat and get a higher pressure wash zone - it works well =)

I appreciate you subscribing to my channel and thank you for your kind words! The water pressure is still LESS than what it would be with a gas powered pump. The system works best at 3500-4000 gph. The new nozzles will help wash the pay dirt better but its still in the ~2250-2500 gph range. When the water falls through the grizzlies, it hits the 'hog moss' to dampen the flow, then flows under a piece of rubber flap to smoothen the flow. the vast majority of the gold is caught in the first 6-10 inches of matting with very little below that. I have though just bought a 36inch sluice extension JUST IN CASE gold gets past the main sluice with the new setup =) You will see it in action on my next video!

I don’t know about that - just always trying to improve things. Thank you for watching!

I am over budget by a mile this year on gold prospecting, so any new pumps will have to wait for 2018. Wow 20 feet of hose? Thats amazing there is any pressure from that bilge pump after that much distance! Must be a quality pump =)

The Gold Cube is a good machine. I am a big fan of the gold hog multi sluice as well, but both work well =)

JIMinBama1 -- I had a Gold Cube with the Banker attachment, and sold it, I did not like it. First of all it does have outstanding recovery of about all visible gold. But the disadvantages far outweighed the advantages: 1)Vortex mats need scrubbing every day before use because of air bubbles in the matting cavities. 2)Fine vegetation roots get hung up in the matting. 3)Way, way too many many pieces to set up and take down and transport. 4)Slower than molasses in January, painfully slow to process bank run material through the Banker attachment. Pre-classified is better but time consuming. I have never tried it but the Trommel attachment which might be faster. Forget using it in the field for the reasons mentioned above. But if you have it permanently set up in a garage or shop (recirculating) for processing sluice, dredge, or highbanker concentrates then the Gold Cube would be good to buy for you with its outstandingly about 95% to 100% visible gold recovery. There are 2 units I would get rather than and instead of a Gold Cube. The Gold Hog Piglet and/or Multi-Sluice. This is my favorite, the Gold Well or Devin Gold sluices: www.devingoldexploration.com/ About half way down the page there are Gold Cube mats available. Also the highbankers are listed on the links on the left hand side.

automatic panner is the creek is so slow

@@bottle17528 Because it's more fun to me to use an automatic panner especially after I already done classified two 5 gallon buckets 3/4 full of concentrates then i just sit down and slowly run it through the panner and relax and see my gold at the end !!! MORE FUN !!!

I found an adapter to mate my smooth hose to the 1.5” PVC today and ran some old tailings at home. Using the stock nozzle, it doesn’t splash out like it did with an open hose, but it definitely has better washing action with the smooth hose than the corrugated hose. It looked very similar to how it runs on my gas pump. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLVmpbR319CvqIE.html

The richest claim I have access to does not allow gas powered equipment which is why I have to be a bit creative when it comes to washing our paydirt. Thanks for watching!

All day if I massage the battery. (I predig the material (sluice off), then turn it on and run all the stored pay at once). When I go back to digging, I shut off the biggest pump and leave 1 small one running. The key is to only drain the battery when you are running paydirt and NOT when you are digging! I use a 90aH Deep Cycle Marine battery.

Can’t run gas in my area and I’ve since moved on and got a trommel. That joke caught a 6 gram nugget. Have a nice day
