    I got a spot here in Baja where there is loads of fine gold , I’m gonna buy a high banker like yours and do a couple of loads , I bet the clean up will be epic. Great video, be safe out there and good luck.

    You would catch more gold If you used a old wool blanket in the bottom end of your beach box no riffles . I have used it And it works very well for fine gold . 3 grams in a square foot . Finding the streak was good

    I couldn't blow enough sunshine up your a.. to tell you how much I absolutely love your videos.
    I'm very analytic in thinking. In other words I see domino's and I know how to manipulate them to make them better (most times).
    And in the last hour, I've come up with a way to produce more gold then those out there on the water.
    And the best part is, no one WATCHING YOU FROM ANY PART OF THE BEACH, will know you're doing it.
    It's so simple.
    If you're ever in akron ohio please I beg you let me know!
    I give you my word, if you still have access to that area, I can show you how to produce ounces in less than an hour,
    I can't believe no one thought of this.

    Hay bro I think I can cut your time for the unloading. It looks like you have a removable tub. What if you could use pvc and go around the tub for water flow. Your on the beach, you could use the sand to make a ramp. Install a ball valve for control and let it dump into your sluice. Add 6 more feet. I think it would cut your time in half.
    It's just a thought I live in Texas we have no go but I still made my own trommal. Great video.

    • @AmericanGoldProspectors

    You need to move the sluice onto the car so you can run in place instead of trucking sand all over.

    Wonder how a finer screen and a dream-mat like setup would do as it will not clog up with black sands.

      The trick is to use a catch tub for tailings and then a drop tub for recirculation with an additional filter tub for the pump. The filter tub and tailings tub sit in the bigger recirculation tub.
