I just picked up some hose from hard rubbish this morning and was going start it this arvo. After your clean up video inspired me. You beat me to it. Cheers for the upload

Nice work mate, you helped a bunch of us out! I had been making header boxes out of timber and they just never work out. Such a great tip, I'm making one this week. Cheer buddy. I appreciate your time and effort as tbh I can't get out much as I'm injured and unwell. I can only make it out to the creek once a month for an hour and I just collect my dirt and run it at home at my own pace. One hour of being in the creek ends me up in bed for a few days. My back is screwed as well as my hands but I love it. So yeh long way around saying thanks mate we appreciate you. ✌️
Thanks mate, I was bed ridden 18 months ago and watching other people prospecting really helped get me going again. Hope your build goes well! 100 x 50 pvc down pipe works really well!
Nice to see you wearing a baseball cap the correct way round. Not so sure why you would be wearing it indoors though. I have seen nothing that suggests you have a crown that needs to be hidden - in fact of crowns deserving merit , yours is in fact right up there. Now to watch how I may build a power head , and hopefully modify it somewhat to suit my purpose. Thanks for making this tutorial.
@@piratescrew1869 Most my shit breaks the first day I use it. But this header thing had me stumped - just could not work out how to get an even flow , especially for like a Miller table. But I now seen your method and I Love it - in fact I think I may have worked out something the same but better.
Really the fridge? That’s cool. Very sorry I’ve been down to the creek too many times thinking there’s enough water running but there’s not. If only I took a sml pump, header box battery and hose those times. Thanks for watching Dean👍👍
I would advise against keeping Super Glue in the fridge. It is not worth the risk of contaminated food and the possible expensive medical side effects just for the sake of a little $2 tube of Super Glue. It is just not worth it. Mark from Melbourne Australia
@@markfryer9880 true,but I should of mentioned that I’m in far nth Queensland,we’re most of us males have got a beer fridge in the shed.I’m not allowed anywhere near the inside one..lol
Great video, thanks for the ideas, I have the same dream mat and the micro so I will try on both. What size GPH pump are you using, I am going for 750gph. Awesome and informative video!!!
G’day Joe, the mat I used is called v mat. I got a metre of it from Bunnings for about $20 and have used it on a couple projects now. I just cut it to size with a knife, just make it tight enough that it doesn’t have any big gaps down the sides. The header box will hold it in place! Thanks for watching. I hope this helps 👍👍
Another couple. What diameter tube you use for this header box ? And , are the discs really necessary ? I suppose with the way your sluice flare has been designed , they may well be. But if the sluice box had enough flat wall surface , could you just cut the header as a tight fit into the sluice , maybe use a piece of cut car inner tube as a washer to make it a nice sealed tight fit - would that work ? And one more - How high above the sluice bed do you have the bottom of your header , or is it actually sitting on it ?
65mm diameter pipe and the end caps are necessary on my sluice but I’m sure it would work if you just sealed it anyway. Depends on how many times you think you will use it. You want about the same width of your sluice above the mat to get even distribution of your material down the mat. Any shorter and you have to spread it out when you feed it.👍👍
Do you have any issues regarding water trying to sneak up the sluice and dripping out the wrong end ? And how do you keep the hose from popping out of the header hole ? I know you said it is a snug fit , but is that it ?
I've made something which is pretty much a direct copy of you header Box. I figure you be pleased that at least one of your viewers chose to make one , I mean why did you post the tutorial right ? But I wonder if you be pleased if another RUclipsr made a tape of your design and posted it ? I can mention and link where the design came form. But I'm not so sure if you really need someone who doesn't like Poofters tainting your channel. Anyway , let me know where you stand on these topics I have raised. But I will be using your design in the field in a future tape just the same. With or without reference to your good self.
You can show anything you want, before or after me. Same rules as prospecting, I don’t own the dirt that I dig in so I’m not ever going to try stop someone doing what they enjoy. Thanks mate. Any publicity…..cheers 🍻
@@piratescrew1869 Okay - I'll be posting something tomorrow giving you a shoutout - not so sure you will add to subscribers , more likely you lose some lol
@@piratescrew1869 WOW - obviously just because a person hangs around with a certain crowd , does not make him a member of that crowd. Thank You for being so frank and candid.
Over edited, to look too clever and easy...... Id subscribe but most people don't need to see how clever some people are but want to feel like they are being taught something
Great video, i will build mine a little different. But, great start for a newb like me. Thanks for posting.
They are very handy when you only have a bit of water and it’s not close to your pay dirt
@@piratescrew1869 i am in Arizona, so usually not much water in the wild.
Every time with the super glue! One of the greatest mysteries of the world.
Thank you for sharing James
One time wonders that hold enough glue for 10 jobs🙄 Cheers Steve 👍👍

I only did it because of cleaning up around my house! 😃 build one anyway, another wash plant is always handy!!👍✨
@@piratescrew1869 it was super handy to have a guide. Cheers James

It was busy but good, thanks to you and the legends from the UK for watching! Cheers mate 👍👍
Nice James , good to see your showing others how you make stuff! Always good to learn something from your channel. Catch you out there 1 day
Looking forward to it Andrew!👍✨👍
Nice James, your a thinking man. That will do the job nicely, now for some gravel to give it a test. Cheers mate
I heard from a couple brothers that there’s some nice gravel in Campbells creek. Might be enough for a gold thingy!!😃👍👍
@@piratescrew1869 Right o, is there water with these gravels? My creeks are dry now.
@@PetesGoldAdventures I’m taking a trailer to fill up and transport it to where we can wash it.
@@piratescrew1869 Have to now, all the creeks have dried up, but now you can see where your digging with no water filling the hole.
This is amazing!!!! Thanks for that

@@mohammednovalija I made one out of an empty screw box that worked ok, that was a one use only special. I’m sure you will work it out!!
Great little video and keep up the good work cheers Ash
Thanks Ash, I don’t really like shed vids but I get asked to do them. Cheers mate 👍✨👍
Hello again, a good video and well done on your handyman skills. Looks great. Have a wonderful week, Natalie🙋🏻♀🌺🌞
Thank you Natalie, likewise and thanks for support 👍✨✨
Sometimes keeping opened super glue is best in the fridge….great work with the header👌goin to do the same with my 6&8inch sluices👍
Really the fridge? That’s cool. Very sorry

update l made my own sluice with this in mind, photos coming soon
Gday james,
Sorta new to this channel,
by any chance could you show us how you put in the black bit at the front or where you get it from?
G’day Joe, the mat I used is called v mat. I got a metre of it from Bunnings for about $20 and have used it on a couple projects now. I just cut it to size with a knife, just make it tight enough that it doesn’t have any big gaps down the sides. The header box will hold it in place! Thanks for watching. I hope this helps 👍👍
Thanks, heaps! Will try to make a clamp or something in case I need to use it on the creek 😁
Great job man. works well.
I’ve made a few different ones. Just got asked to make one and film it. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Nice work mate 👍
Cheers buddy!👍👍
GOOD JOB MATE
Just a quickie, hope it helps someone! Cheers 👍👍
yes Thankyou 👏👏👏 great idea
Good luck! Cheers mate 👍✨
Cool setup indeed fam. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out!!!

I know you said it is a snug fit , but is that it ?
I’ve not had the hose pop out. There was a little pool above the header but not enough to worry about
😮
😑👍
Hi what size bilge pump do you use for this project?
Hey mate. That’s an 1100 gph
I've made something which is pretty much a direct copy of you header Box.
I figure you be pleased that at least one of your viewers chose to make one , I mean why did you post the tutorial right ?
