I bought your sluice a few years ago and it works great! I like your power supply, better idea than the car battery. Yeah it gets heavy on the way down to the river!👍👍

13:44. Looks like a good product. With all do respect, when you disconnect a terminal from a jumper or battery, the negative should come off first. When connecting, the positive first. An easy way to remember is that the negative shouldn't ever be connected by itself. Its usually more important when connecting to the circuitry of a vehicle, but i thought i should share anyway. It helps prevent arcing and potentially help those pumps last longer. Instructions are printed right on most jump boxes, including that one. Ive been in the auto repair industry for going on 23 years and have seen many mechanics get this wrong, so no offense. Thanks for sharing
I agree with all your points. I do not recommend using a battery jumper box. It would help if you had a higher amp-hour battery, typically around 35 amps plus. Since the price of lithium-ion batteries is getting cheaper, many customers are switching over. The negative should come off first. When connecting, the positive first. I will be sure to pass this along. Thank you for your input. I have not really paid attention to it in the past, but I will now.
Looks like a great unit the one with the 2 smaller water pumps. Very disappointed that I can't get it with the 2 water pumps had everything I'm looking for before the change to 1 bigger pump.
@@digitalwarrior6731 hey bud, thanks for the reply. I loved my mini max. I ended up just hauling a deep cycle battery around with it. Sadly my house burned down in the camp fire and I lost all my prospecting equipment.
@@digitalwarrior6731 I believe I paid about $700. They have changed the design on newer ones. Now there is only one intake pump, but it is much larger. It's a great little unit. 10/10 will buy again.
Hey Pat, mine has the larger single pump. Any better to have the dual? Have only ran it in my driveway to test the flow and setup. Can hardly wait to get it up on the river. Darn knee surgery has slowed me down plus all these Southern Oregon fires as well. So far I’m very impressed.
It all depends on the type of material you are running. Heavy black sands every few buckets. Typical material you can go 6 bucket or so. If you are using it in the clean up mode with just the miracle mat you should clean up at least every 5 gallon buck and use a magnet to remove the black sand.
Quick question, could the mini max be used as a dredge when using a gas powered pump, and using an 1 1/2- 2" nozzle? Looks like an awesome unit that's very versatile to use, easy to set up.
Mr. Keene, I noticed that you used two different grates, one in the field you called a claw grate and then you used a classifier grate when working with cons. How many grates come standard with the Mini Max, please?
If a Mini Max is used in heavy clay you should switch over the square mesh classifier screen. This will help disseminate the clay before entering the lower sluice. The top hopper can be slightly flattened, forcing the clays to break down. For the main sluice, you simply have to adjust it so you get a proper washing action on the riffles. Overall it does a good job in clayish material you just have to go a little slower.
Just curious.. If using one of those battery supply charging units, how long can you use this system out in the field before is goes dead and won't run the pumping system anymore? I'm sure the pumps have a pretty low amp draw.. thanks.
Hello. Can you pls recommend a good recheargeable battery for Johnson 2200 GPH 12 Volt Pump? I would avoid using car batteries. I found the mini max gold sluice at one reseller in Germany. It is supplied with above mentioned pump model. Thanks.

I always use a U1 battery and this weighs roughly 20 lbs. and will last 4 to 5 hours. This is allI I am good for in a day. Some times I will keep one battery at my camper and one at the site. However I have not broke into the second battery unless I bring along some friends.
I noticed it surging with that kind of header, would that not cause some gold loss. Don't get me wrong I love and own your products. but I feel like it would work better with a spray bar at the grizzly section to reduce the surge when putting in matterial.

I just tried 1 out and it gets gold smaller then a piece of glitter. Re ran tailings and found a peice so small wasn't worth working about. Am going to add a magnetic area somwere on it.
The stock ones work flawlessly we use combinations of different mats. I see some customers go buy different matting and they all go back to stock systems eventually.
We now use a single RP2200 pump with a single 1.25" hose. The pump produces roughly 2200 Gallons per hour or or 36 rpm. The single pump does provide a little more flow than the 2 smaller pumps.
@@hardog22 You could try it however if you are going to go with that big a pump you should run the bigger pressure hose keep the friction loss to a minimum and look at the larger hooper like we use on the A52S sluice box.

Robert The amp draw is most likely around 3 amps for the 2 pumps. I have used a small solar panel to keep my battery charged up on the river. Since you are not running the pumps all the time a small to medium panel works well. A water wheel would be a cool set up however I am not sure wear to find one.

Christian, We played with the dream matting for over 2 weeks in several types of conditions. About 30 guys tried it and no one liked it. I tried it in the shop in a controlled environment and I watched the gold wash right past the cyclones I was disappointed as well.

Are u guys on Amazon ? And do ur sluices boxes fold into half for transportation?
Just ordered on this morning, looking forward to delivery day
The song to beggin is nice 😁😁😁❤ who sings it?
I bought the mini max, I absolutely love it.
When running river rock should you clean out the mats after a few buckets or can you run all day without a clean out?
All day. But best to do a clean out every few hours or so I'd say. Save all the concentrates from each clean out for the end of the day final pan.
Cooooooooolll...3-in-1 ..nice portable size !... easy to extend when needed too.... Cool very Cool.
Все продумано до мелочей😊. Даже приятно смотреть на сам прибор!!!
It is a very quick setup and packup as well. You can move to many places and not waste time on a long set up.
