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.
Also Bluetooth is an interesting choice too, surely that would result in extremely limited range
@@Konzea with having the excavator right there loading and controlling it works and if they are worried about theft or just trying to keep stuff secret that would help given the limited range
Tell me more on my page please.. please...
Exactly :) and using bluetooth is a bit wierd to me
@@Konzea Class 1 BT is good to 300 feet (foot ball field sized coverage) Classes 2 to 5 are in the 100 foot or less.
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.
After having fund Tony's loss-making operations for years Parker could now have a real a real well functioning dredge of the 21st century! 😄
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ please remove your comment from this thread, it isnt welcome..
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ nobody wants to see that crap. Keep it to yourself.
@@stuartmcmahon8870 he can say whatever he wants, if the owner or TH-cam doesn't like it they can remove it.
Blue Tooth connected controls !! Wow ...!! 👏👏👏😃 Hi-Tech stuff. Thanks Parker 😃😃
Whats up with the dude filming himself filming 😂😂
Parker impressed by on/off controls in one place rather than running to from plant to diverter to pump🤣
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 🇺🇸
also helps having discovery channel funding your start up.
his grandpa ran an operation, he passed away and parker inherited the business.
@@tyharper5168 ya when it was a tiny piece of business. What was he like 15 at the time. he was liked by viewers for the show so discovery channel started funding a larger operation. if you remember right the first season he had his grandpas mine he made no money. so how did he afford all this new equipment? millions of dollars of equipment? its cause the show invested in him to help boost ratings and viewership. its no uncommon i mean damn look at the first season with the hoffmans. there was like 8 guys on their crew they dug up no gold and yet somehow the mine stayed afloat haha. the only reason parker is where hes at is because of discovery channel. Hey im not knocking him for it either it was a break he was given and im glad to see he took full advantage of it.
Nothing is more fun than watching Gold Rush. We love the entire cast of "characters" especially Parker and Tony Beetes!! No idea why the show is so addictive, but I hope all the people on it become wealthy beyond their wildest dreams. God bless!!
What an amazing piece of equipment.
Good job Parker!
Nobody on these shows look like they have ever been in the sun. No suntans. STAGED?

What a class operation and machine. Innovation is key.
3rd class broww
Profit to loss ratio. So important.
its important to make sure there is a camera pointed at the cameraman
Haha what's that about
would love to have a go on that!
The machine looks cool too!
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
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🤗
Cold screws with everything.
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.
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
It's just another wash plant on floats, everything is run with a pad now, and I personally do not like any placer equipment that you have to feed with an excavator, by the way mining engineer with 40 plus years in the industry, seen pretty much every piece of home designed equipment out there, some good some bad
He's already losing money faster than then he can make it. Selling the idea to Tony beets would be the equivalent of handing over his entire operation to Tony for free.
Thanks!
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
He will
Well not really cause even Parker has had claims that at times produce really good numbers per yard an terrible ones as well you never know what you could have an who could see it. Some places have claim jumpers or try shut you down so they can access your claim why you can’t be there operating. Pretty much saving his company by not showing that an wasn’t keen to put Parker in touch with the builder of that dredge was happy to sell it an only had it 6 months either having to many problems or not on good ground then to transport it to another claim somewhere probably easier to sell it and have them pay for that build another one or go a different way
Interesting machine 👍
Good luck in the future
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.
ballast
Nice piece of kit, but with how often things go down, adding more gadgets just seems like more hassle.
When Parker said no this guys heart sank and the producers saw he was not about to continue talking
That wash plant is soo cool,
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
Same here man. I remember when I first started watching this show. Reminded me of working with my grandpa on the farm before I had to move to the city for school.
Wow bravo brother
amazing machine...wow..
Very Nice!
I would agree all this traveling to see the different types you should design his own out of what he has seen and to help fight the permafrost to build his own
What a great machine. He got got the money. He can make it work. He moves the hills digs to deep depth. He could differently make it work. Good on you bro. Money to sold on your plant world wide. Great to see new feed . New live video. So much to come. God bless. )
It wouldn't survive a day in the Yukon. The minute they got it back to the job site, they'd be ordering 6 or 7 new parts within the first week. Shipping and handling alone would put them further into the red that they already are and at that point you might as well sell it for scrap.
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
There is reclamation afterwards.
@@npcknuckles5887 can you explain the process please
That's the hard fact of mining... do you enjoy all or gadgets that use gold or silver to make them work (like the computer or cellphone you used to post this)? how about that perfect wedding band? lol you think gold and silver mining is bad you should go to an iron mine!!! yep that's where the steel came form for your car, chair, nails, bolts, computer tower!!! please when you stop using anything that has been mined then complain. otherwise you are still buying the exact thing you are complaining about (that's the definition of a hypocrite)!! and the idea of mine it somewhere else is ok only puts yourself in denial to the fact!! I'm not sorry that I feed my family for four years as well as 150 other families at a gold mine I worked at...
@@npcknuckles5887 come to the yukon and see for yourself seeing is believing
@@freeziefreeze5971 i have seen what mining does. like I said I used to work in a large scale mine (much bigger that parker lol). so i take it you are still driving your car?
I love that the first 3 comments got it right!!
Parker make your own, take all the ideas and draw up plans to inprove your hauls. Tony beets made a cool easy hauler to move wash plant. Have in mind an idea get it done. Your great at that. Good luck.
Grats on old info that they shared weeks ago.
I love this one
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
nice machine, i think Parker should try to apply this on Mud Mountain, it have plenty of water and dirt to build some like this pool, good luck.
It's a fantastic piece of equipment. How well and durable is it in the cold tundra and the plan B when the Bluetooth malfunctions? Can the wash plant still be operated without Bluetooth?
Parker is the best boss I have ever seen in my life. He is so cool
Good Kiwi Ingenuity, keep up the good work cuz, don't give them to many of your secrets.
You would trust parkers judgement 100% , I would
I would definitely add a refrigerator for the beer
Parker looks like a kid on Christmas day
if you put the same setup on a pair of tank tracks, and use all the bluetooth connectivity, itll work, though the water hoses could be a nightmare on open ground :)
2:54 Camera captures the camera guy taking shots...of a camera.
Wow a one person operation
I do it differently, without any technique😁
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.
I have heard nothing about season 14 and what is going on there, but when you say Fred Lewis is gone than that's good to hear because it was always a pain in the ass to watch them, because they only talk big day in day out but don't know a sh*t about they are doing and then Buzz Lego always drunk or high with his rotten teeth, was all just terrible to watch. Just wannabe miners with no clue, working with trash machinery on land that has no gold or their washplant is just loosing 80% of it. Could you tell me maybe where Parker is mining in season 14? Because Indian River is done and Fairbanks Alaska didn't look very well for future operations, just completely different landscape. In Germany I will have to wait till April until they show it.
@IronWarrior95 go on putlockers man. 8 or 9 episodes out already.
Parker can always use the camera idea along with plant shut off inside the tractor.
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.
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.
Wow that’s kool Parker ;)
Parker got it all from his grandfather 🤜🏻🙏
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👍
Future looks bright
The man built the next level wash plant
My dream business gold prospecting
Tony be like: Mate I’ve levers on my ‘flotahs’ your years, where you been?
Buy it parker..
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.
It's just a dredge with extra steps... :D :D
I think working next to rivers to divert water into a pond you could process material close to the source, without fuel wasted shutting haul trucks and big loaders moving material
Parker time to Build the plant that best for YOU
That's cool but can you run the plant if the controls go out in the excavator?
Tony be like: been there done that… no not the only one in Alaska mate…
i love gold discovers love from pakistan
this cameraman never mis opportunity get himself in the shot
I was looking at the comments for this. It was. Annoying.
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
water is 800x as dense as air so there is much more heat transfer. You probably wouldn't need to heat the water to thaw the permafrost. The water would simply get a little colder, as long as the air stays above freezing the thermal mass will take care of it.
Nice
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
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.
Yup, it'd work if you completely redesigned it.
Exactly what I was thinking, some type of tracks with the plant mounted on top, all Bluetooth controlled from the excavator cab.... I've often wondered why the current wash plants are skids that have to be dragged places , just put tracks on the things similar to how aggregate manufacturing equipment is done
The purpose of being in a pond is to have its own water for sluicing instead of pumping it all over. So you run a strip, drain it, check for gravel pockets, reflood it. Any pay pockets, dump the gravel by the sluice and then refloat it, scoop it up.
I wonder what winterizing the machines is like since I freezes there.
I live in Texas freezing is rare like every few years it freezes.
You need a viper head with water jets like on a suction dredge to remove the small gravel on the bedrock.
Cool concept does the reclamation for you dig a hole stock up the paydirt flood the hole get your gold and the hole gets filled no extra labor
Wow, Bluetooth connected systems...
lol
Parker, if you ever need a "computer guy" give me a ring :D
Does it like cold Temperatures 😂😂😂
This Parker kid has come a long way. I remember, nice job.
Right? His grandpa would be proud!
Now can they implement some of the automated features into a more Yukon suited piece of machinery/ scenario?
I found this interesting
I just got home from my work week at a very large coal mine in Australia
They run autonomous trucks there
All i can say with that with that amount of technology you’re going to need a tech on site 24/7 learn BOBO very quickly.
Im in technology and the complexity of a modern col mine is ridiculously large
I think the kiss principle works best
Cool machine. Just one question... Did Parker get his Australian side kick preggos?? Lol
No , she bats for the other team
This is the only show that has camera angle designed to record the camera man
Cringe
Easy to tell who's the megalomaniac
So cringe. The camera man needs to remain a hidden mystery. We just simply don’t care about him. We care about the show.
Two aluminum screws under rig for land and floating...pump salt water in front where digging...the moving water will stop the prob with salt water not melting pay dirt because of still salt water not melting and fresh water freezing
what season and episode is this from please?
ooh boy do I have an idea
Maybe the holes with permafrost could be flooded with your retaining ponds to melt the permafrost and use that floating plant.
Maybe at some point you could also float the excavator.
More stuff that can go wrong, and more expensive to fix when things go wrong..its a cool concept though
Looks like Parker's gonna be a baby daddy soon😆😆😆!
I thought the same she is pregnant or just put on a lot of weight. Did they get together dos they..?
@@donmarshall7131 oh she's preggers for sure!
When does the new series of Gold Rush start
Grandpa would be proud af ! 👏
** so why don't they make him a custom one?? Smh.
I'm suprised they don't have one of the sluice machines on a big truck so it is easy to move around.
They used some dredges up there before i think someone bought one in California and transported it up there... Theres another one just outside Snelling i think still
Great machine. the only subject that is never spoken about is what they do to rehabilitate the environment and how they treat the water so it doesnt destroy the river and freshwater system
They do talk about it, just not very often. It is called reclamation and it is part of the permitting process. I agree that they should show more of the restorative process.
If they where in a populated area the rocks and gravel would be worth more then the gold they find.
There really is a difficult permitting process as well as a reclamation plan in place plus bonding, and someone mentioned rock and gravel, on most placer claims on BLM ground you cannot sell common aggregate, it has to be a special type of claim on certain deposits, or you can lease material on state lands such as school sections
Fewer people, no haul trucks, less of a mine foot print, less equipment to maintain, reclamation as you are mining. Perfect system
I watch the show for the same reason I watch hockey. The fights. Looking forward to when Parker finally gets knocked out for how he treats people. Give it enough time and it will happen. Surprised it hasn't happened yet
Erm am I missing something? He seemed perfectly respectful in this clip?
The arguments are scripted. The producers need drama for the ratings.
maybe most people aren't as thin skinned as you?
Sporting a big ring on your finger there Missy
WOW Tyler has been into the doughnuts.
Imagine this sitting for a Yukon winter and starting the computers back up.... And Al the corroded connectors also Bluetooth is quite a weird choice for an industrial system would rather use industrial wifi and a Siemens portable him.
Think TV decided to call wireless by "Bluetooth", but who knows. Bluetooth isn't exactly known for it's long range and high throughput, but it is certainly used in industrial systems.
Now all that needs to happen is integrate siri or alexa into the wash plant. Voice command.
When the camera man is amazed
How many times do we need to see the camera man 🤣 tf. Seems cheezy conpared to the OG Goldrush.
Parker super si
Not a single piece of gold shown...
Makes you wonder
