Will do. Putting it in the water this week for a leak check.

I second that. Love the restoration videos.

We just painted the boat and flipped it right side up. I'll film us building the deck. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks. Felt good to be back.

I am admittedly pretty bad at panning. That's why I like paydirt. Helps me get some practice. 🤣

Totally agree. Thanks again.

A little too late to the comments but I just found the video 😅

Thanks a ton! I've been really busy with kids activities. I filmed a bunch of videos--I've just been too lazy to edit them. I'll start putting more out in a week or two once he kids are back in school! Thanks again.

A 1958 Alumacraft...unfortunately no drain plug.

😂

Glad it helped. Just used it last night with an 8 ahr battery with temp and humidity off and still had 2 bars left.

D'oh!

Sorry. Didn't post my reply correctly the first time: I think it depends on what you want to use it for. The discharge pressure is about 35 psi. The average home plumbing is 30-50+, so it's similar to a house hose on the low end. The flow rate is listed as 480 gph. The typical household hose is 300-600, so it's right in the middle. It's not listed as drinking water safe, but it looks like it will work for most household water tasks. Not sure what a nozzle or sprayer does to the outlet flow rate or how it impacts the longevity of the pump...but it sure is convenient.

I find that if it's close, you'll be able to dial in micro adjustments after checking with the blade edge checker. Kids have hockey camp coming up, so I'll do another video when I get the spark down from the attic. Hopefully this helps.

@@AnArmAndAGreg that would be great, thank you! Didn’t even realize I need the checker since I was relying on the optical tool only. Also for flare blades there isn’t even a reliable checker out there it seems :/

You are exactly correct. Funny story: When I first went to a learn-to-gold pan event at a local club many years ago, the old-timer there said Stra-Tis-Fy, not stratify. We had fun with it and my kids kept saying "Stratisfy to satisfy," and "I can't get no Stratis-faction," so it stuck as an homage to those old timers that taught me. I'll probably keep on saying it--and part of me laughs every time I hear myself, but it's a fun little nod to a memorable family vacation ;) Maybe I'll clarify in a future video to eliminate confusion, but it's fun to be a little devious.

Dish soap is an exceptional surfactant. However, it suds. The advantage of using jet dry or rinse aid is that it doesn't cloud the water with a bunch of bubbles. I use it in a pinch or when I'm seasoning a new pan.

I have a ton of gold pans I've accumulated over the years. I've started 3D printing my own now.

Wife's money well spent 😂

Awesome! Welcome to the club.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great to hear. This is the best starter kit I've found out there.

Glad it was helpful!

Appreciate it!!

🤯

Thanks again.

Ga😂llons per hour. I'm pretty much a huge dummy, but at least my mom thinks I'm special.

@@AnArmAndAGreg lol. No worries. It's a common mistake.

I'm uncommonly good at making common mistakes 😂

I have a cub cadet 54". I may upgrade in a few more years to a zero turn. I just have a ton of grass to mow.

If you check out the long form video I talk about that a bit. You can get a cheap blade balancer or just pop a nail into a board. Hang the blade on it and the side that moves downward is the heavier side. Just remove more material from that side until the blade hangs balanced. Good luck!

@@AnArmAndAGreg sweet thanks!

I didn't really have the problem with dirt. It is fairly heavy compared to my electric push tiller, but I prefer the Milwaukee one for two reasons: Battery powered and easy to fit in my small garden.

Thanks. Didn't realize until I went to clean it out that I messed up. Was still able to get most of the gold, though.

Thanks again.

It was upside down. Didn't realize it until I pulled it out for the clean-up. It still managed to catch most of the gold, though. Not sure if that's an intentional design or not, but one more reason to love the Dream Mat.

I love it!

Thank you! Will do!

It was a fun bag of paydirt.

Sure is!

Nice.

That's a good one.

or hear him swinging. Talk about focus.

They're pretty awesome!

It works great!

😅

Thanks. My wife is the real rockhound. I'll post avideo of some of her tumbled agates.

That's a pro tip for sure.😅

Great tip.

He does in fact have tiny legs.
