First Test of the New Highbanker on the Final Gold Mining Trip of 2023.

- It took until November to get the production model highbanker out on the river for an official test. We got lucky and found open access the river in November to spend a couple nights in a hot tent and test out the new gear!
I'm happy with how the highbanker turned out, and while I wish I could have put it on some richer ground for a proper battery of tests, I'm confident it's a good machine with the short bit of runtime we were able to do on this wintery trip.
These double-level fine-gold highbankers are available now on my website:

Or you can email me for a direct shipping quote to wherever you are in the world.
Lmao found like 52 errors your doing
Shoveling below the highbanker is #1
Doing in November
The highbanker is garbage
Your putting your shovel into the highbanker
There's just so many things you are doing wrong it's ridiculous, you talking about don't do this if you don't have the finances meanwhile you have $100 highbanker lol
What’s wrong with shoveling below highbanker
What’s wrong with working in November. It’s Canada it’s winter up here half the year. We work in winter up here.
It’s a high banker that he built that he’s testing.
What’s wrong with putting his shovel into the high banker.
None of your 52 points which were actually 4 points do I agree with. Literally zero. Man that was seriously pathetic hating
@michaelsamchuk1819 well if you knew anything about this then you would know and I could explain but it just seems your already too dumb to not understand cause if you had any knowledge you would know my points are valid
Just another worthless hater. Worth deleting.....
Kyle ! Jealousy and envying makes Narrsesist people people go weird 😂
You have researched and built a unique Highbanker, that really WORKS WELL! Loved the series of your research to build this wonderful unit! Seeing it working this well was a treasure to behold! Fantastic build! Can't wait till I can afford this beauty myself!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like the design, I'm proud of how it turned out. Like I said in the video, don't buy one if you don't have the finances, but they will be available on my website when the time is right!
As high bankers go the worlds best in my opinion . You can guarantee that any classified material going over the sluice will release its gold in it's length . If logic dictates not just flour gold . Fantastic build
Enjoyed the adventure! Cottontail haha! You’d love New England it’s got a lot of similarities. Be well brother!
Very true. The bears up there never caused me much pause... but when you see those big kitten tracks in the mud, those always made my head swivel a bit more !!
Stainless mesh is just great! You can tug weld it if it starts to come apart! I use to work at a been jerked plant and we used 4x4 shears we used to put beef jerky in the screen to dry the meat in the dryer and they would bang around and I would have to rig weld the mesh back together! That material is great for a sluice!
The highbanker is looking real good, Kyle. I especially like water surge from the spray nozzles and how quickly the upper screen below the hopper self clears itself. Thank you and Chris.
Thanks!
Great times indeed fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
I love the modular nature and the thought that you put into everything. Great craftsmanship too.
Thank you!
Rabbit footprints😂....maybe a beaver🤣👍👌🇦🇺
100%
Dual-level beach box PopandSon. Brilliant concept and great engineering. I can't think of many units, if any, that are better than this one at similar proportions requiring a 1.5 inch pump. A maelstrom up top, and a calm sheet of glass down below. Congrats, and well done.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks!
Nice job on the highbanker.
All you need is on the legs to the box is get a pin system with a swivel plate to turn the legs horizontally and push in the legs!
It's a nice unit !!!
Can't wait to see it put in to full service !
I love bubble levels on all my boxes.
Every well thought out engineering. Nicely done ! Obviously, you've experienced a few trials to come up with a final production product. I definitely can relate to your journey, for I started producing my own machine. I really like the compact profile for transport. This could easily be shipped up to the Nome beaches. I was there last year. LOL ! Wish you the very best in sales ! Good luck prospecting !
Thank you very much Allan!
I've been watching your desert wash plant progress as well, especially your efficient water reuse system. Very well done!
Very nice work
That is the slickest sleeper sluice I’ve ever seen.
I like that... Sleeper sluice! Bigger than it looks!
Opossum tracks for sure.
That is a beautiful unit🤩 Looks solid!
Nice looking high banker I’ll give 👍👍 I’m interested
Thanks!
If I had the money I’d be buying one 100%
He's got the cheapest one u can get
Just like New Hampshire.
Can't wait for this weekend.
Wish you were around 20ish years ago.. awesome job ... look forward to more vids..
We have the same rabbits and beavers in Amsterdam too!
Hahaha!
Well I think I just might get on that waiting list, I bet you sell thousands of them,what a great little machine
Thanks! I hope so to in time...
Excellent video Kyle! Love those slowed down sections, showing how well your system operates. Watching this, honkered down in bed with -40 C temps outside really added suspense. I set up a link on one of our southern neighbors prospecting forms. Stay warm and have a happy new year!
Thanks John! I've been keeping an eye on the Alberta weather and using it as motivation when it feels to hot and muggy down under. Hunker down my friend!
Thanks for helping to spread the word, much appreciated and happy new year!
That looks like a great high banker
Thank you!
well done sir! The Utmost Adventurer looks perfect for that AB golllllllldusssssst!
You know it!
That is a really well built and solid unit Kyle!
I like your idea for the metal guard above the back level. I had a bubble stick on my box in the same location too but it got knocked off by my shovel and falling rocks without the guard you incorporated
Thanks Andy! Those levels are super handy. I found shoe goo does a good job of holding them in place. The guard also helps :)
Belle video et comme d'habitude tres bien commentee.🙏..!!!!Très bon matériel.. 🤩👍👍👍..malheureusement ici en France interdit avec la pompe..!!!!
Merci beaucoup!
The first bottom mat should have been cleaned out in the other tub to check that pan for losses. If you are that confident that the stack and the first 2 caught it all then disregard.
Congratulations! I like the fine but exquisite details that you have incorporated into your finished product! I'm very happy for you and anxious for my purchase! Also does the highbanker purchase include the leg kit? Thank you!
Hey thanks! Every highbanker is sold as a complete kit including legs, mats, spray bar, and even a 5 foot length of the flexible hose I'm using in the video with camlock fittings. Just connect to your own 1.5" lay flat water supply that can feed the box with 34 GPM and you're good to go!
I was thinking...
The spot where your shoulder goes when you "shoulder it"
Maybe you could put some kind of (rubber?) padding there?
Not that it would be an issue, but a little padding goes a long way!
That's a great idea. I'll leave it to the end user to modify as they see fit, but it would make medium length trips more comfortable for sure!
Ok i really like it , how much and how to order one ?🎉
Thanks! I made 6 for sale on my website, but they all sold out in the first 2 months and I won't be able to make any more in time for the 2024 mining season... Sorry!
Safe to assume production will remain in CA?
What's next on the horizon? AU summer beach sands?
That's correct. Canadian made for the foreseeable future.
I'll do a little update video on my Australian plans later on this month. Just getting setup with a little place to edit and such.
Very nice highbanker!! What's the price and do you have readymade or have to order?
Thanks! Sorry, but I'm all out of stock at the moment and won't be able to create any more in time for the 2024 mining season due to a recent move to Australia.
If it were me , I would have set up in a place that has gold.
Lack of gold in a cleanup is not a good look or good sales pitch.
Honesty is a great virtue , but words are no replacement for visual.
Your followers know very well the capabilities of your unit.
I'm just happy I was able to get the boat in the water and dig ANYTHING that time of year... The highbankers just took too much time to perfect to do a trip any earlier in the year.
@@UtmostOutdoors Then mention of a link to some previous cleanups in the Description.
Your salesmanship was excellent , but was let down by the result.
Probably not for the genuine buyers , but possibly for the less convinced.
Just saying.
The previous cleanups speak for themselves. Any real customers will review the banker tests and understand what the game is. This is a revolutionary design. Goldhog would kill for the right to this. It has it all, boil box, double Z design and flared,2 story sluice runs@@goldsluicetinkerer
@@goldsluicetinkerer
🧐
For those of us who have been following since the beginning know well enough of this man's gold capturing abilities. This was merely a "show and tell" !
I prefer the highbanker dredge combo. Why shovel when you can dredge?
Dredging not allowed in our neck of the woods. .🤥
@@TheJohnEdmonton Yeah I have same problem / Michigan 🥺
Good how much I would want one
These are listed on my website for $1969 canadian dollars.
I was going to make a crude highbanker , but yours has my attention . Nice looking unit . I am looking for a waterline quick connection , for a hand water pump , and your hose connectors look exactly what i'm looking for . Do you know what they are called ? Thanks ! Ontario Canada (where its real hard to find stream or beach gold )
Hey, thanks for watching my video! The quick connects for the hose are called camlocks. They can be found at a store like princess auto, a dedicated hose supplier, or even online. I have used the aluminum ones as well as these plastic ones for years, and I've never had one break yet. I was given the advice that the plastic ones remain easier to use over time as the aluminum ones can become a bit tighter over time as a layer of oxides form. Good luck with your build, I hope you learned something here.
Thanks for the info. Appreciated ! ! I've been watching quite a few highbanking and sluice vids & i'm told i got gold fever hahaha . Will your new highbanker capture a high percentage of flour gold , or is it meant mostly for gravels and not beach sand . @@UtmostOutdoors
This highbanker was specifically designed to capture fine flour gold. Normal fine gold can be captured pretty easily in comparison and would not justify the need for the double level sluice, but this was built to have the recovery of a beach box and keep a high percentage of ultra fine flat gold while still processing gravels in the hopper. If you ran this box with beach sand that had a high black sand percentage, you would need to feed it slower than you see me shoveling in some of my other videos, but it would do an excellent job on beach gold. Check out some of my other videos from this summer's testing and see what you think.
Really appreciate the info and reply . I've watched a quite a few of your vids , but will go back and check out the one's i missed . Thanks again @@UtmostOutdoors
I’ve been following this for a while. Do you think you will be able to ship it to the UK?
I can definitely ship to the UK. But depending on what part of the UK the shipping can vary quite a lot. I think it's around $350 Cad to ship to Germany which would be a total of about $1600 Euro total for a delivered highbanker.
I have a funny feeling you're going to stumble on to a very large bit, 1ouncer maybe.
That funny feeling is caused by your brain decomposing - Go see a doctor before it's too late.
@@goldsluicetinkerer True, but it's too late, i was tricked into getting the jab.
SECOND!!!!
That stove pipe was 🍒 red not safe
What's the temperature 🌡️ in Australia 🦘😂 iam just Jealous Kyle , even on the island it's to cold to pan 🥶❄️
It's currently around 30 celcius. The humidity makes it a bit muggy, and there are mosquitoes, but I'm definitely enjoying it.
@@UtmostOutdoors sounds like my Home Thailand - don't get to many Bug bites - Bugs like Scorpion,or cetapete - or just a tiny snake 🐍 size of a worm 🐛 be careful, I am speaking out of experience South East Asia , - I like you to come back and do the 1 gram one hour . Good luck and safe journey 🍀🙏
Im in Australia, how much to buy ?
Well... I just checked and shipping to Australia is pretty wild for something this size. The best I could find was $1198 just for the shipping... It's interesting because I can ship to Europe much cheaper. It's closer to $300 to ship to Germany and $600 to ship to Spain.
Still making High bakers.?
I won't have any stock for the 2024 mining season, sorry. Hopefully the next year.
How much are they
FIRST !!!!
Lucky you Fiddler, beat me to it. Have you made plans yet to try and meet with Upmost in Australia? Please don’t yell at me for my poor geography skills 😢. I know Melbourne is far away from Sydney.
@@user-fr1qw8hr7x Stupidest question I can recall having ever been asked in my entire existence on this planet.
You made plans yet to be circumcised ?
@@goldsluicetinkerer Yikes, lol.
I just thought a collaboration would be cool between you two, like two worlds colliding. Maybe upmost can be your gold mining sidekick…
@@user-fr1qw8hr7x The bloke is trying to make a living - He is having enough difficulty attracting viewers without having me scare away the ones he has.
Is this your claim? Or are you jumping on someone else? Or is that area open to everyone?Do you even have a settling pond?
In Alberta the rivers are open to be prospected without claims. If you are interested in learning more about the area, you can google "going for gold Alberta" for more information from the Alberta government.
