I think you should always have some kind of good matt at beginning of sluice bed were material first travels after dropping thru because running large amounts like ya do of some rough stuff couple pieces like that can just be getting knocked down and out from, like you said the smoothness, and a mat stops that even 8" of mat would be enough I think great test great vid😎👍🇺🇸💯
The trick with this drop riffle sluice is to classify first, test the pitch and water control until it doesn't lose gold. Make sure the water hits the first two riffles evenly. Once you have your marks, you're set. It took me a bit, but my geo sluice is dialed in and catches incredibly fine gold dust, no loss. This sluice is can process a fair amount of material and by far excels past it's competitors when it comes time for clean up. The clean up is so fast, it's hard to argue how much material this mini high banker can actually move in comparison to a bigger, more traditional high banker. This sluice renders mats useless if the material is right for it. Hang in there! Best of luck.
Awesome video my brother!!! Well at least you know if you have a tub behind the sluice, a bucket catching your tailings and the sluice catching the rest. You will get all your shiny at some point.🤔🤔🤣🤣Looking forward to the next Vendetta Video!!!👍👍 #VendettaProspectingIsTopNotch💯💯
Looking really good, I'm in the need of another recirculating sluice. One of mine has gone missing..Great to see you with the little ones, by the time they get old enough to drive they will definitely have prospecting and panning down. Not to bad recovery, looking forward to more results.
I’m not familiar with the geo sluice. The top two riffles seemed pretty clean almost like the water needs to be relaxed a bit after it drops down from the grizzly. Again maybe those rifles on the top clean out by design. Cool video nevertheless
Great test Mike👍Like we were discussing that's a really good recovery rate but room for improvement! Like you said the missed gold was flat so possibly floated off, some natural gold (but looked like what you added), reduce the sluice angle and water flow even more. Still a very good recovery, great test brother👍✨️
@@graveyardprospecting The Geo Sluice High Banker is highly effective and is easier to clean up in the field using less water. I use the gold cube at home where there is a more abundant water supply.
overall it is brian, the drop riffle sluices really do work way better that i would have ever imagined, bit there is some think always making me wonder. more testing is needed for sure!
I figured the geo would lose gold since it’s plastic and smooth in smooth out on the riffles this confirms my suspicions…. There are a few things you could to to fix it besides adjusting the angles and water flow the first being run non gold bearing material first to “prime” the riffles if your still losing gold after that silicone the bottom and front side of the riffles or add a strip of silicone mat in the bottom 😬 looking forward to more tests for sure thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
48th Brother man, so the plastic is actually got a texture on it. its kinda hard to explain but its like a super fine grain (mossy) type texture. very very low lile 0.001-0.002" thick on it to help grab the gold. ive thought about adhering some matting at the very top as an indicator mat. not sure i really care to to that tho. overall it got the gold that was in the dirt. im deff going to put more testing on this bad boy!
@@VendettaProspecting oh ok. I have some super thin roofing material rubberish that’s a1/16th inch or less thick it has texture on top for grip when walking if you want to try any of it in any sluices it makes great indicator mat
The Geo sluice and Geo high banker are two really good machines. Especially in a wet desert situation. Good test Mike. I may get in touch with Geo sluice to see just how expensive they are. That material almost looked like beach sand. Good outcome, thanks for sharing.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
99% recovery with a sluice is an excellent result Mike. You might be able to dial it in a bit tighter but is it worth your time because every site you visit will have different gravel mixtures. I've been thinking about buying a small sluice. I've been looking at some of the Gold Hog products, but now that I've watched both you and Doug do very well with a simpler and lighter system which costs about the same, I may buy a Geosluice instead.
good video, this made me sub because the surprise was honesty. And now that were being honest we can adress it and discuss dialing it in more.. here is exclusivly flour flood gold, and it blows out so easy. I'm going to do some experimenting in the 5 to 6.5degrees angles to see in it can retain better and still clean out lights. thanks for sharing.cheers.
Mike, you can make all kinds of adjustments but overall this thing runs great. if you are on a river or creek you cant complain about a small loss like that

I agree 100%
Do you mean like a mat going over the top that would push the material down. Thanks. I think you see them on the bigger high banker
Rigby does all our tailings testing, you need a helper !
HAHAH JASON YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!

WSG this bad boy for sure runs great! thanks for watching!
🤔...more tests with a average? Hard to believe some is getting by but...
yea for sure more tests. Regardless of loss it works for sure. HEAVYPANS A3
You get better with every test👍💯.
Keep swinging 👍👏🇺🇸💯
Thanks 👍

Nice test man👍

thanks chef v, overall its A+ brother. it got the au forsure!
Wow Great product demo and review. awesome job 👍
Thank you 🤗 I agree 100%
Thats really telling Mike. Very good test!!
Glad you think so! Thank brother!
I was just thinking “Doug is going to feed you to the rattlesnakes”😆
Great job all around fam. Cool setup fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream fam. Gold Squad Out!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Great video Mike. Not a bad setup. Thanks for sharing👍👍
Thanks 👍
Nice highbanker🦅🦅🦅
yes its verynice
That’s most definitely a good control test. I’ll be interesting to see what you come up with to rectify it. The mad scientist is at it again! 👍🏻
you know it, thanks Chris w!
That little sluice works pretty good. Cool video.
Yes it does! Thanks brother!
Wow! That was very surprising!! Didn't expect that much loss, those 3 were bigger pieces. Interesting!
I know, right? overall shes a beast

Hey Doug, how come you don’t run a gold cube?

@@dougodette4582 gotcha.
Thanks 👍
Flat gold is hard hard
I always thought that was a good little sluice from watching Doug use it but now I kind of wonder

Well, well, well, I guess I missed this one. My 4 yr old grandson poured some of the 'old dirt' out of the pan and then added some from the yard. 😅😂😊

Enjoy the info and watchin you work on the dirt Mike ! Looks like ya got some good help around there 😊 , Thanks for what you do ! PEACE man 🙂🌞✝️
you know it bro!! thank you!
Still only what? .001% loss. In a prospectors world. It's not worth tweeking. One can make it up running more buckets
HD Bro!!! Good to see ya! its a 1% loss over all. and that % would be higher if your out on the river so for sure!!! i agree man! thanks for watching!
great showing!!!!!
thanks brother!

I think they run about 300 for the mini thanks for watching! looking foward to seeing more nice days in az
There used to be a lot of discussion about ripple height, spacing etc. The high banker works Mike. That's the main thing 🤠🇩🇪👍⚒
i agree brother!!

Imo goldhog just has to much add on stuff. Need a box and a mat. That’s all
Bro I got a zoopu commercial while watching this 👀 Moving on up 💪👀🤙

I appreciate that! i think the best think would be some moss in the top of the bottom tray or even up top :) See ya!
Oh yeah, dialed!!! 👌🏽
Thanks Justin!
Just my thought. I know you said it was dialed in, but it seemed to be flowing fast to me, but I'm 6500 miles away and may be seeing things wrong.
Mike, you can make all kinds of adjustments but overall this thing runs great. if you are on a river or creek you cant complain about a small loss like that
You know, I'm sure there are plenty of us less fortunate folk that would take that off your hands. (no questions asked my friend)😂
AHA LOL NA its all good brother man! if you recall was it the dream mat adventure sluice "the one that got away"? lol!!!!
I dont know much about getting gold but my boss is all about panning here. quite suprised at what he has pulled out of some streams.
Right on!!! Gold is where you find it brother man 👍👍
