If it passes more than a couple of centimeters of water thickness and with an incline greater than 8 degrees, you will begin to lose gold. In the mini-dream mat the pieces must be sieved to less than 10 millimeters thick to obtain positive results. In the micro-dream mat it has to be sieved to 5 millimeters and in the dream mat you can pass it with a maximum of 25 millimeters thick. Now and knowing this, I hope you increase the amount of gold collected with the dream mats. Greetings from Girona, Catalonia.
Thank you for the demonstration! I'm a believer in the Dream Mat. For the type of gold I find, it's really the only way to go, if you want to do it efficiently. Fantastic product.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I'd love to have just a fraction of your beautiful water. We're in the desert with no surface water, just dry river beds but we do have some nice alluvial gold. I extract the gold using a Cat 928F loader and a 20 tonns p/hr dryblower and get a half a bucket of concentrates. My suice is fed by a 17,000 LPM pump over a 10"x36" Dream Mat. Our precious water is recycled so there's no chance of seeing the stones moving about but I trust they do because the gold is only ever found in the top few cells. I'd love to have that nice clear water to pan in as well 😀. Thanks for the great video, I look forward to more.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! Where in the world are your gravels Sir.? We have just got back from Alaska and “maybe” heading to Arizona this February. Before heading back to Alaska for summer 2024

the hardest thing i find with Adding the Dream Mat to a sluice like the Keene A52, is setting up the header box to flow over the mat. i know people make the metal clips to allow the water to flow over the top edge but i find the heavies just pool at the top of the mat and don't clear onto the pockets
Really enjoyed this video Teddy, canne wait until I get in a decent Scottish burn with active exchange mats. Clean outs are a thing of the past with this technology 👍
Good demo man , just got one of those mini mats quality was at Wanlockhead the other day but no joy , goin to Tyndrum soon so hopefully , goin to get the big mat for ma big sluice as well looks really good man :)
Great video mate. With flow, it's impossible to know in a river/creek. With the mini cell angle, no more than 11 degrees and original cell 9 degrees. 6" min 1100 GPH, I think 2000 GPH is better. The 12" 4700 GPH, but I think 5200 GPH.
Scotland's Gold cheers buddy... just watched some of your vids and have a very good idea on where you was working.... and if I’m right the better gold and bigger is down stream lol.... I’ll watch the rest later.
The Cal is a good sluice and so is the dream mat. We love the dream mate and would be our go to however the big daddy is a monster on both size & extra weight. If your planning on taking it long distance it’s going to hurt carrying it all the way. The up side is that it’s a big sluice you can move far more material through it even with two shovelling it would still keep up and the joy of the dredge Mat you don’t have to classify. If you need the mobility maybe look at smaller option. I love the minimoi but always wished it was longer so maybe look at a longer version. Most of all at the end of the day Get out, Explore & Enjoy
I brought mine here in the UK from a French company called golddigger but they no longer deal with dream mate so not sure if the have blank body’s . They are a standard size for large high bankers or dredges so maybe think outside the box and repurpose and old / broken unit .?
It’s been what a year since making this video and a year of use before hand and yes I trust and love dream mat..! From chunky gold down to fly micro poo it’s traps it all I don’t go any where else now mat wise.

Hi Matt… yes very noted. We have been away from the river for a while with the whole covid issue then family and health problems but will be back out soon with new adventures and we now have a good set of scales. Hope you enjoy the videos to come in the future
I’m in America in the Midwest (flour gold country) I have only run my dm twice and last time I found some specks at the end of my mat. Had good flow and not much angle. What did I do wrong?
What was your heavies looking like is my first question .? If the cells are clogging up and not exchanging due to being filled with black sands / heavies etc the gold will skip over.. Second you say not much angle sometimes more is better with vortex because the agitation is increased. 3rd of all I ask how fast was you feeding the sluice to fast and it pushes material over the cells rather than letting the vortex work I watch the top the rows of cells a feed according to them cells clearing......
Beefy Prepper the gold digger ok dude watched both your videos and here goes lol.... Cell clogging up with back sand.! Dump clean ya sluice more often may be 2-3 bucks just dump into a cons bucket, don’t strip down the sluice save that for end of day just dump splash reset.! Blond sands and build up at the top.... More water flow and maybe increase angle to allow for better vortex exchange, I suggest damming the creek a little to increase pressure and build water level to allow for a steeper drop on the sluice... you key thing is keep playing and adjusting the above till the material in the cells is dancing. Seeing gold that low down in the box tells me it’s skipping over the top cells due to lack of flow and the vortex is not being created.... At any point if the cells stop dancing and sit static the dump in bucket and reset..!!
The shop I got 2 of them from is no longer open (covid) How ever I believe highland mining in Scotland now dose dream mat sluice. Or some buy the dream mat from the states and make there own sluice blanks to fit into. Hope that helps
I Bet 2 sluice box legs off ebay put on the end of that sluice would make it super easy to set a perfect pitch with that wingdam configuration. Also bet that mat would smash it on a 18 inch wide box just loading it full bucket

Where do you get the Big Sluice (It looks like tough - heavy gauge aluminum), and do they ship to USA? I only see what appears to be light - shiny aluminum frame "dream mat" from a seller in France on eBay. Thanks
XRayCam yep that’s the same place it got it from. It is heavy gauge , it’s made better than it looks on the web site. Unsure about the shipping to the US and I warn you before hand they can be a little slow on email responce sometimes but I believe they have a new office worker who is dealing with English language emails etc.... hope this helps on your hunt for the Yellow Candy
No not in any tailings.! Check tailings often and never found any gold..... Any and all pickers especially 0.5g have always been caught in the dream matting and never made it out the sluice.
Gold digger shop in France... not sure on shipping to the US but worth a email and ask.. they are not bad on written English but maybe worth a google translate into French to speed it up. golddiggershop.com/en/
I ordered mine from the company and it shipped from Australia last week. I am in New Mexico and it hasn't arrived but I didn't expect it to get here anytime soon.
Dream mate needs water flow to allow the vortex and cells to work properly. The bonus with dream mate in low flow areas is you can get away with pulsing the water over it I have found. Ie pouring buckets of water down it if need.! Just a thought for you.
@@atadventuresuk that sounds good. My area has low flow in the summer. I ordered a 6x42 with both mats in it. So hopefully it will do well. Thanks for the video
Don't know what the rules are in Scotland for equipment that can used in the streams there but, if magnets can be used to remove the Magnetite here's something to look into. The idea is to 'not capture' any magnetite, but only to position a magnet 'Above' the Magnetite low enough for the magnet to affect the weight of it, by lowering it's weight (as it does) long before it captures it. There is a zone of influence involved that the magnet will never touch the sands, but you 'never' have to clean the magnet because no sand ever touches it. The water washes away the sand down the box because magnetic sands cease to have 90% of their weight because of the magnets zone of influence. The Hematite, in an agitated state, is washed away by the water and the moving Magnetite that all remain in close contact with the riffles. Nothing is EVER captured by the magnet...ever! Magnets alone will not move any of the Hematite. That was my worry when I considered using only magnets and water hoping they'd be enough to push the Hematite by themselves, but they will do so effectively when both the Magnetite and Hematite is agitated. A simple easy to build vibrator attached (12 volt) to the sluice will allow you to decrease the grade of the box, and decrease the flow of water. Gold being three times the specific gravity of the black sands should stay put while Black sands migrate to bottom of box. (This will take some experimenting to get the right balance on the vobrator and magnets)
Hi AT been watching your vids for a while they are are abit kooky but thoroughly enjoyable and informative.i esp apprieciate the tips about rubbing your new pans with wire wool to get rid of the factory grease in your other vid, I'd not seen that from anyother prospecting vid and I've watched a few lol. I'm after some more advice I saw you mention your using the dt sluice. Was that the Active cell before dream mat? If so how did you get on with it? I'm off to snowdonia next month for a mates birthday and I'd like to know if it works with fine gold my mates bought the same and i dont want to let him down we live so far from a gold prospecting river I've tried it with small fishing bb and it catches it but i was wondering about the fine stuff i know that the gold is hard to come by so would really appreciate the advice thanks
Aaron Ruff hello buddy, not sure if kooky is good or bad but we will take it lol... no the DT sluice was not the active it was the expanded metal and v.mat with riffles. Iv not tried his active yet but have heard very good things about them.! If in doubt with finer gold just run a little slower or check your tailings regularly. But then also don’t get over worried chasing fly poo you can expect some losses on any and all mats. Biggest thing is have fun and explore
@@atadventuresuk haha it was meant In a good way lol cheers for the advice il be sure to check them tailings we will def explore we cant wait buzzing not expecting piles of gold but def up for the adventure thanks again
I got mine from gold digger (France) but if you have the mat it would be cheaper enough to buy a blank sluice or have the alloy folded/ made to your size you need. Where are you based as I know highland mining (Facebook & website) dose blanks to order they are based in Scotland or any metal shop would be able to do it for you
How the hell do you keep warm in winter and cool in summer!! What about a video about your quirky waterproof clothing choices , especially the strange closures on your ankles! Looks like old inner tubes of a motorbike!!🤣🤣
Warm in the winter- work hard & thermals, cool in the summer- take a dunk in the river your working 😂 the fashion outfit in this video was a wetsuit with shorts and water skin over the top as I felt you all did not want to see my rolls and bulge 🤣
rookie1991 any with correct width to fit the mat. Most people use a blank sluice box where you can add any mats such as dream mat, hog matting owl etc but I have also seen people lay the mat over a drop riffle sluice, check the mat width with the sluice width ie 6” mat for a 6” sluice etc. Hope that helps
Howdy Scotty, this damn Yanky lives in the high dry desert...i think ill buy this mat & try blowing an air flow through it & see how ut wourjs...peace out bro
The shop I brought it from is no longer trending. Your best bet is to get the dream mat “dredge mat” available from dream mat and get a blank slice box made up in aluminium box to fit the mat in. Any metal work shop should be able to bend to your measurements
Good job buddy! Check out my Chanel pnw prospecting I use gold hog in my dredge but I just got a 10in dream mat for my river sluice. You can see how we also beach mine over here in the pnw
Noted and very much agreed with. That was one of my first attempts at a proper video some 4 years ago and yet it’s one of my most viewed. I’ve learnt a lot since then…. 1- I hate audio / music editing. 2- copy write loves to jump on your videos and 3 audio quality has come along way since. But thank you for your observation sir
Dream mat Flow rates & Angle - yeah - it took 30 minutes of absolutely nothing to do with the title It's like calling a video "Potty Training" , and having a kid walking around naked for 30 minutes with shit smeared half way up his back
Great video - straight talking, friendly, generous with his knowledge and experience- and a bit of philosophical wisdom thrown in at the end.
If it passes more than a couple of centimeters of water thickness and with an incline greater than 8 degrees, you will begin to lose gold.

Easiest way to answer these questions is to ask you to watch the videos on my channel lol the last two I was running the dream mat

Cell clogging up with back sand.! Dump clean ya sluice more often may be 2-3 bucks just dump into a cons bucket, don’t strip down the sluice save that for end of day just dump splash reset.!
Blond sands and build up at the top....

Using the mini ...flow rate of about 5 liters per minute should be enough in other words a USB powered pump
Where can I buy big daddy
The shop I brought it from is no longer trending. Your best bet is to get the dream mat “dredge mat” available from dream mat and get a blank slice box made up in aluminium box to fit the mat in. Any metal work shop should be able to bend to your measurements
@@atadventuresuk thank you man appreciate it
You don't have to be perfectly set up to catch the majority of all the gold
Good job buddy! Check out my Chanel pnw prospecting I use gold hog in my dredge but I just got a 10in dream mat for my river sluice. You can see how we also beach mine over here in the pnw
listening to that sound or music or whatever it is for 30minutes. you may aswell not use any music
Noted and very much agreed with. That was one of my first attempts at a proper video some 4 years ago and yet it’s one of my most viewed. I’ve learnt a lot since then…. 1- I hate audio / music editing. 2- copy write loves to jump on your videos and 3 audio quality has come along way since.
But thank you for your observation sir
What you say, from me? No subtitres im Russian man.
Can't beat miners moss folks. DM loses gold.

Dream mat Flow rates & Angle - yeah - it took 30 minutes of absolutely nothing to do with the title
It's like calling a video "Potty Training" , and having a kid walking around naked for 30 minutes with shit smeared half way up his back
