    The cube is great for at home use or if you can drive right to your gold prospecting spot, the nugget bucket was designed to trek through the bush or to take along on a family trip as an activity to do with the kids when you have some down time.

      You are right, I think I mention that in the video, was just curious how well the simple nugget bucket would hold up to the gold cube and I think it did really well.

    I use a 1/8 classifier on top of the Nugger bucket, fill with water and it holds the water longer while I classify. It seems to work best. I agree the plastic screen is not the best.

    We bought the Lynch Mining 1.5lb Reserve XL jar to just introduce our grown kids to panning. Paid $123. including shipping. It guaranteed 2 grams of gold and we got 2.3. Had so much fun and my 32 year old son said, “ok mom, I get it”. My 34 year old daughter didn’t speak till we were done. She’s so hooked. Lol. So, well worth the cost. And fun and return wasn’t too bad either. Love Lynch Mining. Love your videos. Can’t wait to see how you modify those classifiers on the Gold Bucket, because I find the same problems. But I do love that little bowl at the bottom. Great job and thank you.

    *_GREAT TEST!_*
    14:40 Final questions::
    1) Which one recovers more gold?
    2) How long will it take to make up the $300-odd difference in price?
    3) How many problems did you have with the water supply of the Nugget Bucket?
    4) What is the weight difference between the two?
    5) Which sets up easier in, and gets out to, the field?
    Also, had you tested the Gold Cube first, would it have missed that same 0.7g the Nugget Bucket missed? When the Cube got the dirt, it had been once already fully washed away from the gold. Maybe the classifier for the Cube would also have lost that powder, were it fresh. (I don't know, just asking) And probably the Bucket wouldn't have lost that gold during classification if it had already been washed away from it's dirt.

    • @MillerProspecting
      @MillerProspecting  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      1) The gold cube will always recover more gold unless its over 1/4"
      2) It depends on what your processing
      3) The water supply isnt the issue, its the screens, they are plastic so tend to get more jambs then if they were metal
      4) The nugget bucket is the same weight as say 2x 5gallon pails so it is way lighter than a gold cube, pump etc
      5) The nugget bucket is pretty much always ready to go so it is easier.
      6) No, this was not real tailings. The gold cube is far superiour at catching gold.

      Just rewatched this. I guess my point was, difference of $100 vs $450 is $350. On this bucket of seed gold, you recovered roughly $8.50 more with Gold Cube. That's over 40 buckets of paydirt, at 8 grams per bucket.
      Now, how often do you collect 8 grams on a prospecting trip? I'd guess never. I'd guess more like 90% of trips, it's nearer 1/2 than 1 gram. Suddenly we're talking about 500 to 600 trips to make up that $350 difference.
      I think the average weekender will make roughly 25 trips a year, meaning it will take 20 years or more to make up the price difference. Toss in the ease of use factor, and I think the Nugget Bucket is the better buy for 90% of casual prospectors.
      By all means, add more gear as you get deeper into prospecting. Just bear in mind, in every gold rush in history, the big winners haven't been prospectors, the richest people have been the ones who supply the prospectors.
      Thanks for the very entertaining videos.

      @@xenaguy01 I agree about the price, while the gold cube is significantly cheaper and would take a long time to recoup your monies unless you went prospecting a lot. But, the nugget bucket is way slower. If you factor in that it would take you 10x longer to process the same amount of material. Both require you to classify the material, one is built-in while the other has to be performed separately. However the feed rates, once material is classified, is the key difference. By the time you emptied one 5 gallon bucket into the gold cube, you could easily process 50 buckets in the cube.

      _"...the Nugget Bucket is way slower."_
      I don't disagree, maybe just with the degree. I think the Gold Cube is easier used like you did, sitting in front of it on a table. In the field, I've seen other TH-camrs use it in a stream with little of the problems you had. It's particularly amenable to kids, as it's nearly foolproof. Dump the dirt, dump water on it. Toss the bigger rocks, and repeat. I like the Gold Cube, it's one of the best ways to find small gold. The Nugget Bucket is great for a family outing. Two different items, like racing a Porsche and a McLaren.

  • @777Sharkbait
    @777Sharkbait 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thank you for the comparison, I enjoyed your video. However the flaw in how you used the Nugget Bucket shows in your results. You never cleaned the rock properly when using the nugget bucket , That's why you got 0,700g stuck in the classifier and if you were not clearing the rocks properly is where you getting the difference in yields. If you pulling gold out the classifier then you most likely missed gold that was still on the rocks & trace dirt in the classifier that you put to the side. The CUBE has constant water flow cleaning and washing properly. You have to manually wash the rocks in the Nugget bucket! You should have also put pebble size stones at the bottom of the nugget bucket in the catchment dish before you started to prevent the gold blowing out in the initial stages as the sand fills that plastic cup.
    You catchment cup also looks a little full. Whats the chance of gold flowing out of that it it was so full ? But thanks for the video.

    • @MillerProspecting
      @MillerProspecting  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey, thanks for the comment. However, I am going to disagree. I have talked to the owner multiple times when this product launched. I based my use on how they are demonstrated to work and how the instructions tell you to use them, In all the nugget bucket instructional videos they just dump water on top of the dirt. They do not scrub, agitate or do anything o the material to strip the gold off rocks other than the force of water hitting them. Its the same as the gold cube which is notorious for having issues catching flat bigger gold. I could have added a top mat to the slick plate to catch any flat gold it may have missed but that is changing the basic setup. So I ran the material as closely as possible to the instructions given in the videos.
      Also as to the rocks at the bottom of the cup, they are not necessary. The gold rush nugget bucket company has dozens of videos and in only one do they add those rocks. Also when I spoke to them they told me they were not necessary.
      As stated in the video, I love both pieces of equipment but the bucket does have a few flaws, but then again so does the cube.

      Sorry but the gold cube can be fed a lot, here is a quite from the inventor Mike Pung
      "It can take a thousand pounds of dirt per hour and reduce that material down to a cup and a half of concentrates"
      The equates to about 15 pounds per minute. I fed it much much less then that.

    Hi.Have to agree with a few others.Spraying water with a garden hose does not do a total wash.Pouring the water is best.Next the 2 can not really be compared,As one is a use in the field and the other is a finishing tool.Example try running unclassified material threw the cube.It requires 1/8 minus.The bucket can process raw gravel.That being said it could be improved greatly by using steel mesh screens instead of the plastic.Mcbain.

    I have a Gold Cube and bought the classifier screen assy for it.. I have run a lot of beach material, and also pit run materials.
    The Gold Cube was the winner in my book because of the speed of processing. I did buy a spare pump from Harbor Freight as a backup, but have not had any problems with my pump, even with 10-15 hours of use, mostly in salt water.
    Now I did add one more catch tub to keep the pump more sand free.
    If you set up the Cube on a sheet of plywood out in the field it makes levelling it really easy. I added a couple of bubble level bubbles to the top of the cube also. .For me it takes about 5 minutes to level it up. Without the plywood piece it takes me much longer, and the plywood really adds to the stability, especially on the beach, where the stand legs tend to continue to sink into the beach sand during use.

    • @MillerProspecting
      @MillerProspecting  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah the gold cube will always win on speed. I have seen a lot of people using the plywood trick to lever their fold cube. I really do wish the gold cubes came with built in bubble levels.

    Both units look to work well.
    The classification down for the gold cube would have caused the processing time to increase.
    It would be good to see the gold cube with one of the attachments i.e. trommel or screen. This would possibly make processing of the pay dirt quicker; however, I think you may loose the larger nuggets unless you detect the tailings.

    Awesome awesome job man. Thank you so much for that. Glad to see the gold cube won. When using these in the field I don't ever really find gold like the Lynch mining gold, I tend to find micro gold and with that a lot of black sand. The gold cube was built for that they even recommend cleaning every 2nd or 3rd bucket load. I run my material twice or maybe three times and clean it every bucket. The nugbuc just fills with black sand so as soon as I see any black sand over flow I need to clean it. Both will loose micro gold but the cube catch's a lot more with a lot less work. Also the costumer service can not be beat by anyone point blank. I am so thankful your wife bought you the bucket and you tried this. I had three pounds of different Lynch material but just not enough to justify doing something like that. Outstanding Dylan and it did feel as exciting to me as a championship fight in the UFC. Have a good one bud and see you next time.

      @MillerProspecting  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Your are 100% right about the gold cube and fine gold. It is a beast at recovering it, and probably the best and fastest way to do so. As to the customer service, I had a horrible experience. When I was going to order mine I sent off multiple emails asking questions. Got nothing is response. So resent an email from 2 different email accounts and again NADA. Then I saw Mr Pung on a chat board and told him my issues, he took down my email and assured me they would contact me. Never heard back so bought my gold cube from someone else at a cheaper price

      Miller Prospecting oh man sorry to hear that man that's not cool. As the nugbuc goes please try one flat Rock in the center of the catch tray vice multiple rocks I'm curious to see if you get better results like I did. I find the gold traps around the edge of the rock really well. Also it is a amazing back up to the blue bowl, just take the black sand out of the dirt first with one of your super magnets(awesome tip by the way) take the top classifier out of the nugbuc and remove the plastic slip overs from the blue bowl leveling legs and set it up as normal. I can run a 1/3 of a 5 gallon bucket of material with no black sand in it and loose hardly anything. Again really love talking gold with people.

    Maybe the holes in the classifier will wear down over years of use and lets say its seasoned. And will work a little better

    • @MillerProspecting

      then it would let in larger material, which would probably be counter productive.

    Sorry if it's been mentioned, but I'm curious as to how the test would have run with some honest placer paydirt. Morst of the sold paydirt is seeded and it looks like you had alot of one-size gold. I didn't see much "wild" fine gold. Would be interesting to see how much floats out of the nugget bucket, esp with untreated water..

      Found vid 1! Yeah that hose isn't doing much if the material aint bein' moved around.. Real screen and a kid to stir it up would help! Or, screen before hand and mount a hose blue-bowl stlye to swirl the goods over a better screen (for home concentrating)..? Nugget bucket for prospecting though, if you can catch that fine..

    • @MillerProspecting

    This was a really cool video that was one hell of a Christmas gift Rush nugget bucket classifiers should be stainless steel mesh it would probably work better if you stratified and waterlogged material in a separate bucket and then poured it into the Nugget bucket would probably make it a lot easier in the field as well by swirling shovel full of dirt in a separate bucket you can completely wash the rocks

    • @MillerProspecting
      @MillerProspecting  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree great gift and yes the classifiers should be stainless steel. While prewashing them is a good idea, I am lazy, lol, plus wanted to replicate how most people use the nugget bucket.

  • @thomastaylor6511
    @thomastaylor6511 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Only a two tier gold cube? I not be critical I think you do a great job but the nugget bucket recommends that you never let that cup at the bottom completely fill up or you will lose gold!

    • @MillerProspecting
      @MillerProspecting  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its a 3 stack. I actually got in a 4th tray recently but that is for another experiment. As to the emptying the cup, not possible,. It fills to the top as soon as material is added. It does not push out a lot of material. If you ran 2 cups worth of material it would be full.

    thank you!! I been watching you for 2 years now!
    I'm currently working on selling my own paydirt!
    I'm a newbie tho.
    I get my dirt from VT.
    I'm gonna send you a couple bags to review.
    There is gold in every bag even if I have to put some in.
    I really don't wanna sell unsearched material due to VT not having a lot of gold.
    I know I'd hate to get a bag that had nothing in it.
    I'm gonna send you 2 bags that I pick at random.
    this way I can get an honest review and make any adjustments as I go.
    I'm no lynch by any means so pay dirt will be sent as ordered. so if I get an order I go to my secret spot then let it dry, then mail it out.
    So with my dirt it would take a few weeks before a customer would receive it.
    I love prospecting and hope to make it my job 1 day!
    I know,, a man can dream tho!
    Thank you again for all you do!
    if you could do a video on the best overall ROI for the beginning of 2018 that would be cool!
    have a great day Dylan and I look forward to your next video!!🇺🇸☺☺☺

    • @MillerProspecting
      @MillerProspecting  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I did not pan out the bucket, as this was simply a test to see which would capture more. I did put all the paydirt back in the bucket so one day when out of dirt or just bored I might pan it all out.

  • @lonnywilcox7037
    @lonnywilcox7037 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you don't discount the .7 that the classifier missed it is 2 or 2.5% loss. That really isn't too shabby. I agree on the classifiers, they are pretty crappy. I put together my own bucket and went with 1/8" punch plate in the classifier. I really want to try some 1/8" mesh as the punch plate does like to catch the rocks a little. Not nearly as bad as yours were. I am always experimenting to find a better way.

    • @MillerProspecting
      @MillerProspecting  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I am thinking either just adding a 1/8 classifier to the top and ditching the top plastic one or, cutting out the bottom of the plastic one and adding 1/8 screen. Plus have some other weird ideas.

    • @lonnywilcox7037
      @lonnywilcox7037 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, my bucket creation is definitely weird. The funnel portion is big enough to take a 2.5 gallon bucket 1/2 way up the side down in it. It seriously takes a full minute to drain to the bottom of the 2.5 gallon bucket and then still has 10 seconds or so of running in the funnel part. It doesn't clog with material at all in the funnel as long as the water is running when I dump in material. I have been experimenting with the catch cup at the bottom. I have a narrow and a wide mouth container. The narrow is a 2 cup cup and the wide is a plastic salad bowl. It holds about twice as much material. So far the wide mouth catches more gold but it also catches twice as much other stuff along with it. It is definitely a team effort but the kids have fun with it and we can use it where we go. Hope to get it out in the field this coming week and see what we can find that doesn't come in a bag. If I get 1 flake or even flour speck of gold I will be happy.

    • @MillerProspecting
      @MillerProspecting  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea I was thinking the catch cup could probably be improved upon. I was thinking if it was shaped like a beaker it would force the gold to the sides and prevent any from going over the top.

    • @lonnywilcox7037
      @lonnywilcox7037 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I tried that and it has 2 problems. First is that if you let the water flow stop the sand compacts and you can't get the water to go back to working the bottom quickly. It will eventually burrow down that far probably but it is hard to say how much gold is being lost while the fluid bed is formed again. Second it blows out the fine gold. I can't say for sure why as I am not a fluid dynamics expert but it appears that the necking down causes the velocity of the water to increase enough that it can carry the gold.
      Completely parallel side walls all the way up also blows out the gold. Just angled walls can cause the gold to be pushed out by lifting it through direct contact. I wonder about having just a 1/2" tall straight wall at the top with truncated cone shape below it. I think that would alleviate the gold being lifted out of the container by the other material and still allow the fluid bed to move the lights out. There has to be a formula for how much water moving at a diameter that won't lift the gold out but can lift out the lighter material. But that is too scientific for me, I will gut it out through trial and error. Mostly error.
      But you really should see the blue bowl design I am playing with.

    • @MillerProspecting

    Great review Dylan. I use those big green classifiers out in field. I am thinking since the bucket is 5 gallon those large green classifiers will fit on top. And loose the black internal one. Just a suggestion. It would be easier to shake but would still be a 2 person job. Just wondering if it would clog the the sides of cone inside since the materials going in would be higher than the original design. Awesome video. And ya I was like don't think you did Belmont thought it was vulture but ya it was superstition I remember you talking bout the Dutchman as soon as ya said it lol. Pan on All

      @keithdaniels9093 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It really depends where your at and how you do it. There is a lot of people that only do it for hobby but some people make a living from it. If you know what your doing you can make a very good living. From my experience you want a good location and move the material quickly. This can be done with the gold cube. The next step is to extract the gold from the concentrates. Most people waist a lot of time paning it and even lose most of the gold because its so fine. Extracting the gold from the concentrates should be the easiest part. Most the time should be spent geting the concentrates with the gold cube. The really successful gold prospectors know all the secrets. People have been doing this for several years on a big and small scale gold mining. What's funny is some people know the best way to get the concentrates and some people know the best way to extract the gold. You hardly ever find people that know how to do both right tho. There is crazy things going on now days lol
