Hey brother, kit arrived nicely and packaged brilliantly. Finally just got my hose sorted just need to plan a stealth mission now. Curious do you run 2 different lengths of hoses ? what length would you recommend as a minimum for doing real stealthy backpack in work for doing crevices as you walk the stream so trying to maintain being mobile? Also just setup some anderson plug kits for my 18v drill batterys for quick short sessions.... will let you know how i go

Hi Ben, I am glad the GoldiBox and everything else made it to Australia ok. Yes, I run the same lengths of hoses. Typically 6'. That's mostly for convenience and to keep things light. Sometimes, I will change the lengths of the input hose depending on where the best/cleanest water source is. For your ultra stealthy request, I would say at least 5' on the input. You always want the pump to be able to access water. For the discharge side, you can go as little as 3-4' Your 18v drill batteries should provide some good punch but don't expect each one to run very long. The recommended pump pulls 16A so your 5A battery will run for approx 20 minutes but probably a little less. But the added voltage will increase suction considerably. Just make sure the batteries are capable of pushing 16. Not sure what their BMS is rated for but typically it's 20A. Please let me know how it goes. Feel free to shoot me any questions or concerns. - Happy Prospecting

This looks awesome! I've been wanting to get into dredging, and this looks like the perfect fit for me :)

@3DProspecting 8 ай бұрын

Thanks! The GoldiBox is a great way to get into dredging. Easy to use and extremely portable/lightweight. You'll be surprised at the versatility and places you can run it. I viewed your channel and saw you're in Southern Oregon. The ground you work in your videos is ideal for the GoldiBox - Tons of bedrock with compacted gravels/cracks going into the water. It's just begging for a crevice tool and some suction. 🙂 Any questions, feel free to reach me through the website's contact us form. - GoldiBox.com - Happy Prospecting!

Make sure and wrap your tape the same direction you twist the hose on so that you don't unwrap your tape. The Seaflow 3700gph pump is awesome

@3DProspecting 10 ай бұрын

Christian, thanks for the taping tip. That's definitely applicable to the outside of the hose that goes INTO the cuff of the jet log (upcoming video) but for the pressure nozzle (in this video), a single wrap with a 1/4-1/2" overlap is all that is needed for a tight fit and seal. If original Gorilla tape is used and applied to a DRY nozzle, it pretty much stays in place. I can't speak to other brands or types of tape, but after 100s of uses the original tape on my nozzles have not budged. The seal/fit is still as tight as when it was applied. Thanks again for the tip. We also appreciate the video you posted of you and the GoldiBox in action. :-) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hsyenct-uKqRYZc.html

I tested today with one of my old pumps 3000gph and it didnt have enough power. It did run a few times. Pretty fun little dredge! I think it will be great i just need to get a better pump. For the pressure would it benefit more to get a 4700gph or just get the 3700?

@3DProspecting 2 ай бұрын

Hi Ryan, I'm glad you like the dredge. If it is a true 4700 gph pump, I would use that one. The stronger the better. But I have found many pump manufacturers over state their claims and through extensive testing, I've found the Oasis 3700 to be highly reliable while delivering very good performance. The nozzle was designed and refined over the course of several years in the field (not a bath tub), so the venturi is dialed in for pumps between 3700 - 4700 gph.

@3DProspecting 2 ай бұрын

I also want to mention that you do NOT want use a lead acid battery (car battery.) Too heavy with a steep discharge curve. A lithium ion battery or LIFEPO4 battery is ideal. Overvolting the pump to 16v will yield fantastic performance. The voltage boost delivers big performance gains. I'll be doing a video on this shortly. Thanks for the kudos and your business. They are both/appreciated. Happy Prospecting!

Does the 1.5"->1.25" adapter come with the dredge now?

@3DProspecting 10 ай бұрын

Yes, as of 10/1/2023 the new pump adapters are included with the dredges. They're very convenient. Your username seems familiar. Did you purchase a dredge/nozzle combination on 9/29 (two days prior to the adapter's release)? If so, we'll ship you out an adapter right away. Happy Prospecting!

Whats the recommended battery and expected run time approximately? Thank you

@3DProspecting 5 ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for watching - The recommended battery is an Eco Worthy 50ah LIFEPo4 battery. - amzn.to/3SqGRJl If you use the recommended Oasis 3700 GPH pump - amzn.to/3ympjU6 you should expect a little over 3 hours of continual use. That's the actual run time. Of course, I unplug it when I am not dredging (clearing big rocks/having lunch, etc.). I've tested many different battery/pump combinations and found the Eco-Worthy to be a good-performing battery at an excellent price. They are also very light. The Oasis pumps are workhorses and durable. I hope this helps. Happy Prospecting!

will a 2,000 gph pump also work?

@3DProspecting 7 ай бұрын

I don't recommend it. The system was designed for a 3700 gph or greater sized pump. I've tested it extensively with a 2000 GPH pump and I wasn't satisfied with the performance. I did overvolt the pump with a 20v battery and then it performed very well, but in doing that you risk burning out the pump. Most pumps can handle a little overvolting (I like to overvolt my 3700 gph pumps to 16v) and it makes a big difference. But a 2000 GPH pump on a 12v battery is not enough power.

@@HumboldtDitchSkater It can be run as a submersible with the optional cover. Then it can be placed anywhere below the waterline. The bottom would be the simplest placement or on a big flat submerged rock. You could suspend it, but that may be a challenge depending on location.

@@HumboldtDitchSkater You're welcome and thanks. I am going to be posting a "year in review" of me using a GoldiBox in a variety of locations with the season's gold weigh at the end. I have many days of video running in various locations that have never been posted. Frankly no one wants to watch the same content over and over (run dredge, cleanout, show pan -rinse and repeat). Plus there are times where I forget to film, the batteries run out or I am focused on testing and operating the camera becomes a nuisance. I am a much better designer and prospector than I am a content creator but I think a good compilation video will give people a good idea as to how portable the GoldiBox is and how easy it makes accessing harder to reach places. That video will drop very soon. Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for a MAJOR announcment in March Can you say game changer? 🤯. Happy Prospecting!
