That's awesome. I sure hope they accept the invite, they might not like dry heat in Arizona, but it would make for a great video for sure, do yall have a channel here that I can follow!?
Hey Chris, I’m currently stuck in bed for the next few weeks with a back injury. I just wanted to let you know how much joy I’m getting from your videos. It’s not just getting to join you in the beautiful countryside but also your wonderful, positive attitude. Thank you so much ❤
Please ask your physiotherapist to explain the pain threshold vs strength threshold to you. It's VERY important to understand that to help you recover. Best of luck!
If they don't know what I mean, ask, and I'll be happy to elaborate. Source: I've had a serious back injury, fully recovered, and my brother is a licensed physiotherapist.
@@OverMyDadBody it’s a spinal issue sadly. So at the moment it’s just a waiting game. It’s so frustrating, I’m normally very active. But it’s not worth taking a risk. Thank you for taking the time to reply!
@@txg399 While you're laid up, look into DDP Yoga, Diamond Dallas Paige Yoga. He's done wonders for a lot of people in bad spots. PLEASE look into it. Best of luck!!!!
An advantage that I see is that there are no traps or "sticky" bits that make cleaning the mat and recovering the gold more difficult. I appreciate your explanations on how these things work.
I've been thinking about getting something to catch some beach gold. I was thinking the Devin Gold VDR drop riffle mat, but now I may look into this before making my decision. I look forward to seeing the loss results test. Thanks Chris!
Sorry Chris but after counting it was only 99 bits ... Tutututu you have lied to mean lmao great to see newer mats being used always nice to see the latest stuff great video as always
Good test Sir, We have a few sluices to test this year ourselves. We are going to place a second sluice that we use that we know is very reliable so we can see if the test sluice is loosing gold.. Always love your videos. I will make it down under hopefully very soon and we should meet up. This year we are hitting Italy and a bit of Austria. Next year is Norway then most likely New Zealand and Austrailia. Cheers...
I am currently in the process of design for making my own silicone mate. I appreciate your explanation of how it works. You are very knowledgeable and I truly enjoy watching your videos. I hope to be back up and recording for my own channel again soon. 👍⛏️😎
Makes sense. Not all gold will have the same terminal velocity. Super thin platy gold will require less force to move than perfectly spherical gold for example and different riffles will capture each better than the other.
Great video Chris 📹 I'm actually working on something new to the market, for the reasons in this video. The only mats available that are multi vortex optional are gold hog due to the vary of mats combined. But there are many downfalls to those mats depending on whats being done and where and on top they are very heavy . Little hint on my idea in motion it combines 3 different styles of sluice box's and physical natural earth all in 1 package and its stealth ....and comparable in weight to a traditional riffle sluice
Small bulk next. A 10×36 would allow a hell of alot more volume. I enjoy every bid bro. I'm trying to sneak away tomorrow to the creek. Fantasizing already! Thank you sir, from around the world (lyric drop) around the world! Sooo many times
Hey Chris, I really don't know if color makes a difference or not. As long as it catches gold, I don't care what color it is. Looks like a really good matt for catching all different sizes of gold. Happy hunting and stay safe.

Years and years (and years) ago, we would have a separate gold pan with a copper bottom. After collecting all the black sand you'd apply a thin coating of mercury to the copper, and then run the black sand through the pan. I guess the gold would dissolve in the mercury, and then you'd scrape up the mercury and process that. BUT - in even older old days, they'd take the mercury, and put it in a hollowed out potato in the campfire. The mercury would be force into the potato flesh leaving the gold behind. A different time. BUT - I do remember being told to never touch the soil with your hands because the oils from your hands would stick to the gold and make it more likely to float out of the sluice. Has that been disproved?
Stopped at 12 seconds, silicone rubber is the best product invented, as used in aerospace for seals in windows, doors, hatches, moisture ingress, pressure bulkheads, etc. As well as the other major industries medical, auto, house hold products, sporting good, marine, EVERYTHING!
I count around 138 but hard to tell by pausing the vid so your a bit over. Looks like a nice mat will you be running more tests on video? I love tests I had my friend (vendetta prospecting ((he’s a TH-cam/paydirt vendor)) so had access to more gold than me) pressure test my Alan Robertson “hobby miner sluice box” (by pressure I mean force feed it 20 lbs of unclassified rocks and black sand with an ounce of gold mixed in it😳) and check the recovery rate was amazing to watch have you ever tried to choke out a mat with black sands on purpose? Anyway really like tests looking forward to more on this mat thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
Really cool mat, Chris! I would love it if you video a scientific test to show how well these "uneven" points on the mat work. I believe that the mat catches more flour gold than some of the other styles... (That would also be a cool experiment)! Warm hugs from Alabama ❤️
Cool vids goofy Chris! I can sniff out gold & find it pretty easily Butt, since the right side of my body from finger tips to toes for decades, now it's time to learn finishing my concentrates...oh, I found a cinder block size meteorite a few years back, Now with the snow & rain this winter I see a half inch crystal gold vein from top to bottom & flecks all the way through it...I know a Crystal Gold buyer, maybe I can take a couple days to drive down there
Love your show! Would classifying your material further help? Gold is 19 times heavier . So your pieces would shold be smaller? Say 20 times bigger than your flakes?
Please try the other way around! I'm waiting for the video. I saw a video where the flow was accelerated. There is hardly any sediment left on the carpet.
Amazing that gold is so dense (even that size) that it drops out of suspension with that flow rate. Is that just because it’s laminar flow. Great vid as usual.
The physics is sound, I always wondered why all the riffles on the other ats were the same from top to bottom, it didn't make sense to my brain. I did physics as a part of my biology degree and that was almost 40 years ago...ouch!
How do you feel it ran compared to micro dream mat? Up here around gympie, compared to the original dreammat, after your advice has been fantastic!! Hopefully one day, I can show you around my old stomping ground around sunny corner, yep where that legend goes. A.G 👍👍
I'm really not a fan of these open rubber mats, they scour too much without providing graded high to low pressure top to bottom over the whole area of the sluice. Moss is better.
You talk good England, nah really well presented Chris. I have a friend 🤯 whose name is Mat. He is not as interesting as the mat you spoke of. Sorry if you read this Mat.

As someone who builds sluice boxes I’m always interested to see new designs and takes on recovery systems
If it's made of silicone, it'll hold onto gold better than a rubber matt.
Good to see things are still being made for the little guy to still be able to have a go!
Can’t wait to get into it myself
I love watching your videos. So informative and just a joy to watch.

Thanks for explaining things the way that you do. I learn a lot watching your videos.
Nice going Chris. Good to have the workings of vee mat explained. Seemed to work really well. Well done. Regards Andrew 👍😁
You’re actually using a bucket and not a laundry basket? Inconceivable! Keep it up Chris!
Like an adult toy, it does not skimp on results!
Thanks again for your hard work and knowledge Chris
Great looking design. Great test. Looks like a winner to me!

Always good to try new things
Had to rewatch the first 7 minutes as my mind was preoccupied trying to figure out how to repurpose the mat as a sex toy. LoL
Me gusta muchos ese sistema que tiene esa Sluice box, lo único que tarda mucho en procesar el material.

How do you know what an adult toy feels like Chris 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
literally just commenting on the the thumbnail "HA that's what she said!"
Pretty pink
thats so much gold i would never go home
To check for loss, how about a submerged steel pan under the outlet of the sluice?

Pretty cool looking mat... How does it compare to dream mat, cost etc??
Reminds me a bit of Goldhog Razorback matting.
Test it by putting through what you know what's in the gravel? So you know if there's any loss
It WOULD be interesting to run that sluice/mat directly into another sluice,to see what you may or may not be losing 👋🏻😎
Nice! How did it go as an adult toy? Would you advise lubrication or au naturale
Love your show! Would classifying your material further help? Gold is 19 times heavier . So your pieces would shold be smaller? Say 20 times bigger than your flakes?

picked up a 20kilo gold bar yesterday with my magnet on a chain
How about panning out each ripple individually, to see how much gold is caught at each stage?
Hey man, with the legs on your sluice. Where did you get them from?
Where can one buy the leg kit ? I'd love one for my little sluice.
Hey Vo-gus,
I went to that website to find that mat, and I couldn't see it on their site. Do they not sell it separately?
I wonder how it compares to the Dream Mat?
I hope you answer my question about classifacation. Would futher classifacation increase more gold? Thanks .
Salve salve guerreiro 💎⛏️🇧🇷
You can't use the gold rat clamp with that mat no?
Is there anything that you have to do to an adult toy feeling mat before you pop it's gold cherry?
Unlike the other type. You got to remove the lube.
@@VoGusProspecting I'm glad you didn't spit on it cam
Yes, you have to take it out to dinner and a movie. LOL

Hi Chris what size classifier do you use?
At 2:42 I got a lil' startled because one of the rocks there looks like a chopped-off finger
My hands shall be called meat scoops from this day forth.
I could count around 150 pieces. :)
Where can I get that sluice box you have there.
Gold Rat make them
Nice bitsy gold
I want one
I dunno Chris I only counted 99 peices of gold there
How d'you know it feels like an adult toy Chris?!
I'll give you onw guess
Fair enough... spare us the details!
Where can buy this mat?
What I can't figure out is. How do you know what adult toys feel like?
Now turn it around and see what happens
Question, how do you know what "adult toys" feel like? 😂 LMAO.
I wonder if you had the mat backwards? Give it a try the other way?
No, it's not backwards
@@VoGusProspecting 😂😂 just put it backwards anyway.... To appease the gods😂😂
How many ounces of gold to a bucket?
Not enough, never enough.
Counted around 154 😂
thats not a laminer flow, but all good
Heard bout these
i count 134 pieces
Good thing that it worked otherwise you would have had to slice it up like jelly snakes and eat it! Just kidding, maybe!
Mark from Melbourne Australia
Delicious jelly
Roughly 168ish peice of gold counted, if anyone was wondering 😂
I'm really not a fan of these open rubber mats, they scour too much without providing graded high to low pressure top to bottom over the whole area of the sluice. Moss is better.
I stopped counting at 100 😅

Wouldn't a bucket just roll right off of the ripples
For science. We test.
