- This is a long one, but I wanted to include the cleanout and results in this video rather than make you all wait another week.

The first part of the video is day 3 out on the river then we skip ahead to the cleanout from the trip. Feel free to use the chapters to skip to a certain part, or enjoy the whole video if you like.
Out on the river the pop'n'son style miners moss was working fantastic, and we collected a total of 4 cleanouts over about 18 to 19 hours of digging at this location. Once we got home, I classified everything down to 20 mesh, and ran it all through a series of Infinity Prospecting's Devon Gold VDR Sluice matting. The results of the cleanup sluice were a little over 98.5% recovery. Then I used my home made miller table to do the final cleanout, and even ran the cleanup sluice off my Jackery 500 Power Bank. Chris and I dried out the gold into some trays over night and did a split the next afternoon. It was a great trip and I can't wait to share the final two days out on the river with you!
As always, Thanks for watching!

This is incredible! You’ve made an amazing innovation and really shown the results of your hard work. I’m impressed. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Wow, thank you!
Your design is great. It's perfect for the single or couple of VIRGIN PROSPECTORS ...
If you'd add ADJUSTABLE "ARMS" to your FILL BOX arm and ROCK FALL arms, you'd be able to reduce your losses of the soil or sediment changes ... and you could add a "weight pressure switch to adjust water pressure" to automatically increase or decrease the water flow ...
I'll accept your next prototype ... for my suggestions ...
😆 🤣 😂 😹
Just, "My thoughts" ...
Great video. Thank you!
God bless us all, Amen.
Nice clean up!! Congrats on all the subs, hope your channel keeps growing. I think the river will be crazy low this fall hope you find a crazy patch!!
Hope so! I just hope the boat still has water to float on. Haha!
Well I COULD go to sleep on time for work tomorrow OR I can stay up for the next hour and watch this...eh sleep is for chumps
Hey guys, I just found your channel and subscribed! Love the show, and I had never seen the little clean-up table keep up the great work and gokd in your pans! All the best!
Looks like the coarser screen has helped a lot for the water bubbles . The screen I used on my sluice was 1/4". You most likely won't need a bubble curtain from what I've seen . Just a little bit of tweaking and you'll have the best sluice for fine gold anywhere. Which is what most gold is . The great thing is very little scour . Looks too that you had a lot of vegetative debris . Great run, great gold, great out fit and no doubt a great time being self employed
Thanks Bart! Yeah it's really running nicely so far!
Nice great gold recovery good job keep it up that gold will add up quite very nise.
Absolutely awesome buddy!!! Consistency and an amazing highbanker!
Thanks GGH! So happy to have you as a fan! Can't wait till we hit some chunky gold again buddy!
This was extremely satisfying to watch. Well done and thank you for a great video. Regards from Maputo Mozambique
Thank you very much!
The explanation about the cost and the net profit at the end reminded me of Breaking Bad for some reason. 😀The new highbanker is running great. I will definitely steal some ideas.😀
Very much a catch all system, we done and thanks for sharping
Such a long and excellent video has way too much to talk about for a single youtube comment.
So I'll just say that is was fantastic, and I only just noticed you were up to 37.000 subs! It feels like it was only last month that you were hoping for 2.000. So huge congratulations on a cool trip, lots of gold and lots of subscribers! :)
One thing that's really worth talking about: I think your flared sluice design is contributing big time to the lack of scouring in the mats. I was playing around with the same idea, and it makes perfect sense that a flared design makes the gold less and less likely to get lost the further down it gets, mathematically approaching the "perfect" capture rate. Absolutely top notch design man.
And as usual an amazing attention to detail how you document all the statistics.
Thanks Dean! Yeah, the subs came in pretty quick there for a while, I kind of can't believe it... I just have to try and pretend I'm still talking to just my first 1000 subs or I get nervous...
About the flared sluice, I really do like knowing that the flow is going to be just right at some point along the run... and the narrower part has higher flow and so can handle more feed rate per width and so it all just kinda works out. I like it so much, that I would almost be curious to see what would happen if I built a non flared box just to compare to! lol.
I'll keep the stats and info coming as long as I can! I hope we all learn something as I continue to experiment and everyone can wind up with more fine gold at the end of the day!
Thanks for all the data, and pretty nice results that's better than being stuck in the daily grind.
Literally being paid for going on vacation/camping.
A very informative video. The uniformity of the gold is amazing! Just curious if you have a catch basin at the end of your Miller table? Thanks!
Thanks! for the miller table, I just start out with the water recirculation tub completely cleaned out and empty, and just use the whole tub as my catch basin. Then whatever makes it into that tub (there is gold that slips by) I can just store that small amount in a contained to run all at once at the end of the year.
nice gold thank you for sharing the adventure and information
This is amazing inovation and realy showen the results...
Im a 72 year old man and i like you keep it up.
Love your content, enthusiasm and ingenuity Chris, it looks like it was a great trip!
Well Kyle, flour gold wizards will hike and sluice all day for parts of a gram so at 1.87 after expenses I’d say you’re doing great!
Yeah I'm pretty happy with any profitable trip to be honest... But it's important to be transparent about things as most people would want higher pay for such hard labor. As a hobbiest I'm stoked, but I still can't shake this idea that I could work doing this one day... I just hope we are fortunate enough to come out ahead on the next trip as well!
Wow! That’s a fine looking cleanup!
Thanks! It was a nice result.
30% in the hopper is my guess 👍💚💛❤️
just a quick question for you .. what is the dimention of your miller table.. I would like to make one myself
Hello Richard. I made a video just for you: ua-cam.com/video/ckocan-t_3M/v-deo.html
I think my table is 18" wide by 24" long.
You have definitely built the ultimate high banker for flour gold….
PERIOD!
Drop the mike…
Haha! Thanks! Always room for improvement, but yeah, I'm super stoked with how it's working considering how compact it is!
Its Dreamy 😍
Awesome job guys. Just getting started too
Yeah buddy !!! You are making excellent content my friend ✅✌️🍻🍻🍻
Thanks Jason!!! So glad to see you watched this one, it was a record cleanup for my channel!
That's a great trip
Work a treat..god bless you🇮🇩
I like tha 3 tiered clean-up sluice. I love my 3" VDR clean-up sluice. Of course, it utilizes drop riffles, so what is there not to like. Just a super trip you guys did. Keep those vids coming.👍
Thanks John! Yeah the VDR caught ~98.5% of all the gold, so super impressed! And that was trowel feeding, not even running super slow with an auto feeder...
@Utmost Outdoors That's the biggest cleanup l have seen on the NSR nice paysteak ,got get digging
Good job men. Awesome color.
You need a Keene mini max high banker because you get two mats. One for scrubbing and one for a cleanup so it saves you a load of cleanup time so more time for digging 👍💚💛❤️
Yeah, I like the mini max. Keene Rocks!
Onestly bro nice to see
Seeing gold that close to the bottom of your sluice! Tells me me your loosing gold. Youre sluice should run into a 4 tire gold cube. That way you capture EVERY THING
It ALL Adds uo !!!
Great post
Thank you I just got done watching the video and it was very informative .. You got me very motivated to make one and I just got done ordering a mat for it . I will be going to the big box store tomarrow to buy the rest of the thing I will need for the build ... Thank you very much for all the help . and the tips you give out to other watching you . keep up the great job. I will keep you posted on the build and show you when I am done with it.. Once again Thank You
Glad it was helpful!
If you're seeing gold that close to the end of the sluice, you're probably losing gold off the edge. You need less pitch on the angle
Great job, where do I sign up. The only gold in my area is in the store. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Beauty!
@utmostoutdoors wonder if u guys could make adjustable legs so could lower close to wheel barrel height an maybe use bucket to feed sluice an or keep wheel barrel full idk just thought could help in getting stuff to location prospecting also so if worked it have more than one advantage
wth? We have to pay over spot when we buy it and now we get paid under spot when selling it?
I think I want to be a gold dealer
So basically you were paid $130 a day to go camping. Nothing wrong with that.
Looks like you guys are on to some good gold! But let the tailings fall on the ground and but the bucket up front to catch the gold!
Wow is all I have to say just WOW
There is no subscription offered
Kyle & Chris awesome stuff brothers congrats on a great trip!
Thanks 👍
Dang, im new at all of this. But, way jealous of all ur nice toys. 😊😊
Based on the cost of gas versus the amount of gold your getting, Is it really worth it ??
You just reccomended to comment percentage and you're doing accents... 😅😂
Thank you guys....A very entertaining and a great knowledge harvesting video. We are off to Morocco in our Campervan towards the end of March. Let's see what the Atlas Mountains can harvest for us.. After much research, designed our own sluice box, however, that table seems a fabulous way to fine up . Learned a lot from you. Will follow you both with interest. Thank you :)
Thank you, and good luck on your upcoming adventure!
I’d try some wave mat and motherload mats from gold hog they love the fine fine gold
why you don't use gold wave table 🤔 it is pratic than this table
Make some 1 gram pay dirt bags
No 😂
ONYA LADS Good One.what sorta pump did you guys have cranking again.cheers boys.LOCKEY FROM AUSTRALIA
Thanks mate! We were using a Honda WX15 1.5" gas pump. Mine is from 2013 and still going strong...
I would say that your hopper caught 35% or your gold
VDR is a copy of the Goldwell Sluice.
My gold prospecting knowledge is rudimentary, so i only half know what you are talking about. But it's INTERESTING!😃
Glad you enjoyed it!
Where did you get that smaller screen material?
Amazing find! How many fines/colors per pan did this patch have in the sample pans? Must have been a couple hundred?
Yeah I think it was around 150 to 200 colors per pan...
You should learn to make it into jewelry
Fraser River, B.C. somewhere upstream of Dan Hurds Pickerton claim?
This video was filmed in the next province over.
Hey check out the flower gold wizard he has a new water thing that somebody is recommended to him for running on the sluices that works even better than the what you've got right now and I believe you should have some Jet-Dry in your water I would hope
I'll check it out!
This looks so fun... I think I might be genetically predisposed to gold fever😂
That's a tough affliction. I wish you the best on your lifetime road to recovery! 😉
I’d say about 37% in the hopper
Why not step away from gasoline and switch to electric, and use some portable solar panels...?
I think for a smaller unit that would work great. I'm running 40gpm (2400gph) and sometimes need to pump it over 50 feet from the rivers edge towards the paystreak. Due to the sharp drop in flow when you ad lift to a bilge pump the power draw becomes pretty significant. There's definitely room to go electric in other mining situations, but this pump is a great solution for most of my mining needs.
I need to buy one of your machine guys
You build awesome gear,I'm going to tinker with a Miller table ,it really is a simple thing ,I've built a little highbanker and man it does amazing 95 %of the gold is always in the first 6" ,but around here a great day will produce what your finding in a good pan out that way
looks like the Red Deer river. Where is this?
I think putting gold in glass vials is just monkey see monkey do..... Why do people do that?..... You drop a glass vial and it smashes and gold dust goes every where.... Personally, I would not put my hard earned gold in glass,,, There is no reason to do that when plastic would be much safer.... I have no idea who started the glass vial thing...
I would put another smaller sprayer nozzle facing backwards above the fine screen area. Im thinking an adjustable top tray which can be removed for transport is not a bad idea either. And Ive never used a highbanker but its not too different from a dredge. A good rule is to clean it out when you shut the water off other wise the fresh impulse of water washes some gold out!
i can see this high banker next year will have all sorts of computerized controls on it to adjust slope. water speed. grading material and give real time gold mining results. Kyle will just be sitting on the bank viewing this all on his ipad and telling his crew where to dig next. 😀
Great job been a while since looked at ur subscriber number. Going up fast as i expected. 👍
In fact it has been somewhat stagnant for some time now ( thankfully )
hahaha... great ausy voice
Bro your like me math tells it all lol
~98.5% in the top hopper? That’s my guess!
That’s a great cleanup!
Edit: I was WAY off 😂
Editing my edit: wait a minute! 56:27 in and did I hear you correctly?! 🙌🏼
Nice! Looks like you guessed right, but for the wrong thing initially! Thanks for the comments man!
@@UtmostOutdoors haha 🫣 Almost got it!
Still waiting for someone to guess the right answer on *just* the top tier of the clean-up sluice then! 🙌🏼
Also, that homemade Miller Table seems
to work great!
Jet boats, camping, and exploring upstream on a river with some gold #prospecting gear sounds like a GREAT way to spend a few days! I’ve taken down some notes on how ya’all chase your pay streaks too! #GoldFever #GoldRush #GoldSquad ✌🏼
Thx for sharing!
5% from hopper is my guess
Nice cleaner I subscribed just because you wrote it in gold LOL
Haha, love it! Thanks for the sub.
100 ounces. Guaranteed
Impressive 👊🏼👊🏼
Question, where did you source those v-shaped trays you dried your gold dust on? I have been looking for those, and haven’t found a supplier.
I purchased them from Petrocraft industries in Calgary. They call them examination trays.

@@UtmostOutdoors thank you so much for the prompt reply, I got some ordered.
Love it!!! Love the breakdown and all the math. Perspective to a T!
Can i come with you next time to watch? Its so cool. Im from Edmonton
I've moved to Australia now, but I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
You're awesome man ❤
Absolutely awesome sir!
Loved this one,great content
Thanks! I would really love to learn to do this.
Thank you so much!
The weight is 4.1
A camping trip that pays you $650 is a pretty good trip!
Absolutely!! better deal than the gym too :)
Aah finally! Been waiting for this part 😁
So in the last video you ran 31GPM and in this video 40GPM. If you were shoveling alone, would 30GPM be better?
I think even alone 40GPM would be better (That's 20GPM per 12" sluice width) It just processes a bit quicker and the scour rate did not increase, so no harm it seems... 1 inch slope was used.
@@UtmostOutdoors Wait what? Oh I thought you ran it at 31-40GPM per 12inch. My bad. I'm about to build a high banker of my own but ill run it with a bilge pump so I don't want to run more water than necessary because then I would need a larger battery. The gold in my area is similar, if not smaller than the gold in your area so your videos has been very helpful in my design. Cant wait for the next video :)
Yeah, look up the pop'n'son sluice on Google. 20gpm per 12" wide sluice is all you need. Just need to classify well or larger rocks won't even roll out with that little water.
wow very nicely done
Were did you get the mat from in your clean up sluice

You can use code UTMOSTOUTDOORS for 5% off I think...
I like the single water jet wash in the hopper and the smooth water flow in the sluice!
35% in hopper
my guess is 97%
Really enjoyed this and especially liked how you broke down the numbers on all aspects of the trip.
Glad to hear it!
28.3% hopper
You done good!
I want one of those sluice boxes where can I get one
I made a small production run of them but they all sold out. I won't be able to make any more in time for the 2024 mining season due to a move to Australia, but I'm hopeful for 2025.
Where abouts were u guys workin bro cariboo?
Alberta... I know, I know, there is no gold in Alberta... 😀
I like that you include costs and expenses at end of this video
Bro great set up . Gday from Australia lol
Gday!
32 percent
I really like your highbanker build, looks good runs amazing. Well done, good job😁. Gold prospecting season here in north sweden/ finland starts in 2 weeks when the 5 weeks of vacation is 😎
Good luck with your mining season!
Thanks alot you guys for sharing your adventure and for breaking the results down very scientificly. I got all that info without the sore back! Much appreciated!
Thanks for watching!
Comment for the algorithm! Great video
Much appreciated!
