    As a youngster, I would go down to river and pan the gravel bars, just the fun of it. I am now a combat related disabled Veteran and bedridden at the young age of 71. Your videos give me a lot of enjoyment, seeing others getting out into the back country enjoying their hobbies. I recently discovered your channel and really find enjoyment in it, stay safe, watch out for those deadly snakes and spiders.

    Great video as always, Man...!!! I’ve been a big fan of the finest Gold for a long time. It’s great to be able to catch enough to put in a poke. I’ve been a fine Gold recovery specialist for a long long time. It’s all there was available to me and I learned how to process it better than most people. I have great equipment and a strong knowledge base on the super fine Gold. You guys are doing a smash up job with the gear you have.....!!! Congrats....!!!

  • @PeterLJohnson55

    Thank you Vo-Gus Prospecting, enjoyed.
    You asked for comments, so I would like to offer one on the topic of the reduction of material handling operations (energy).
    The main query is, Why double handle your shovel loads? Having 20 x buckets to dump straight into sluice would save a lot of shoveling. Alternatively, dump your buckets into some sort of elevated hopper that feeds the sluice directly. I know it is another piece of equipment to handle initially, but maybe it can double as a tote bin in which you can carry a lot of your clobber. Obviously, this suggestion is not for every site. But hope it is useful as it would save a lot of time and reduce load on your back. Cheers from Central Coast, NSW.

Went through two and a half buckets just a little over a 5 gallon pail of material. Like I said not much but I did not find anything last year when I tried doing this for the first time. Watching your videos gave me hope. Thanks and be safe. Alabama shelter in place.

    Here in NSW, we are only allowed to process 1 cubic metre of soil in any 48 hrs and we are not allowed to use a highbanker run with motorised pumps of any kind. Everything has to be manual.
    At least I'll get more exercise and save money on pumps, motors and batteries.
    We have a whole heap of other restrictions as well.
    At least we don't need a permit as you do in WA, unless we want to fossick in a state forest, then we need one.

I am sure if you dig around in your past vid comments ill have recomended doing exactly this to experiment with...I have told others as well. If you could only have a power dredge , one of those blowing into a tromel ,going to the high tom. Also try the multisluice at a steeper angle if possible, and maybe place it further out in The system so it strips the cons a little better? Just saying based on this videos showings and the goldhog videos about hydrodynamics.
