Nice work Alan! I am finally getting around to watching this video. I really like the scooper. Hope those print settings worked for you. Your one tough guy playing in the snow like that. Looking forward to seeing what contraptions you come up with next.
I really like this concept Alan. Very simple and easy to use. The process does a good job cleaning the rocks, especially if you're dealing with heavy clay content. I'm amazed the water doesn't freeze. Looks very cold out there ! Take care. Hope to get out there this weekend and test your detector holder.
Thanks Allan, I can't wait to get out and run it out in the field about 90 days to go. Not so cold now just buried in two feet of new snow. I got some great feed back on the detector stand Miners Depot in Quartzsite said they would fit all of their detectors and ordered a bunch of them. Have fun out their and find a few nuggets.
Way to go Alan. That thing rocks Bud. I may have to make one. I have the right stuff. Thanks for all your ideas. The feed shovel is going to really help a lot. i kept surging and loading up the mat. Thanks again.
Nice. Could cut out some teeth on the end of the feed scoup to match the grooves to clean out anything that gets stuck in them. I used an clear acrilic(sp) scoup to go though tons of gravel (about an area 10 ft x 50 ft x 1-2 ft deep) and then the handle broke off, but still used like that for going though a few cubic yrds of loose gravel. I think it was made by rubbermaid. I plan to get a new one but will fill the handle with epoxi or something befor I use it. Did have another and found out not to use for cleaning out the wood stove, always a few live coals.
WOW Alan , that is something you definitely should be proud of. You've definitely earned it through the dedication and hard work. I've been following you on this journey from the beginning and I'm impressed Alan. It's very simple , and we both know how hard that really is to achieve. Thanks for taking your time , to make hobby miners look at things differently. You'r full of amazing ideas and I'm proud to be be a part of this channel. You're inspirational to many of us. Happy new year to you good sir and we'll see you on the next one
Hi Steve thank you for all the kind words. That hobby miner sluice has been quiet the journey for sure from just a idea to a finale product. On the funny side I bet I have filled two 40 gal trash cans with all the trial and errors from this project. Super happy with how it turned out. Thanks again Steve
Your inventions are great Alan. I think your bucket blaster highbanker header box is much more effective than this one though, as the former is bigger and can handle way more material faster and with less manual agitation. To each their own, though, I'm sure lots of people will get plenty of enjoyment (and gold) from this compact and lightweight machine with excellent capture. All the best! P.S. You have come a long way and it has been wonderful to watch your journey and all the iterations of your inventions. Keep it up!
Well the bucket blaster almost happened. I do like the way it works now and I think the wife will be happy with it as well. She has to feed it this summer.
Looks good man. The snow looks just as deep as it is here in Missoula. I wish I would have stock pilled some dirt to work for the winter, kinda jonzen now to see some color in the pan.
Counting the days down man, let me know when you go out I'd like to hang out. Just got a speed controller for my system exited to test my toys. Hope you and yours had a great holiday season.
Hey yah Alan! great job and I recognize those tapered slots...lol I'm looking at your material and wondering if you've ever taken some of it home to crush. It looks interesting to me!
Well your imagination must have been going at the feed store I thought you would be breaking out something from a 5 ga. bucket lol. Ingenious Professor! I call it the High Shaker Banker. I wonder if the shaking action helps to remove some of the lighter materials.I had to reset my Alan bell, It didn't let me know about this video. If it' any consolation it was 80 degrees in Galveston on Christmas Day.
@@alanrobertson2510 It's about 38 degrees here now, that's way better than 10. I'm supposed to go to my nephews to make a video today. but i'll believe it when I see it. lol.
That's awesome pretty nifty are you going to make those shovels to go along with the sluice feed stores are hard to get to in some areas like I live up near the lake and the nearest feed store is quite a ways away
Cool I was just checking out your website I seen that you did put them on there thank you Alan now I got to go beg my wife lol see if she'll let me get my card back lol 😆
Ty that was cool to watch, can I buy one of those or two of these ?. How does that work with flower gold coming out out of black beach sand . For the rest of your viewers what is the site we can but a until or two.
That looks so good, I know that you have put a lot of time in the design. I actually love the idea of light weight and the fact that you can pack it in and set up to run as a river sluice or a high banker . so what would be the total cost of the whole unit and accessories.
@@alanrobertson2510 , looks like I am going to have to save my money up and order one. Really nice job, I have watched the video several times and I know that I have to have one. Thanks again for the great videos.
Very nice job Alan. Have you done any tailings testing to see if you have any gold loss from scraping the tailings out of the box into the bucket. If any what gold loss % have you. Great job none the less.
Looks good the only difference I see from a real high banker is the length of you made it twice as long with a longer flat space before the teardrop holes and an upper spray bar aimed from the other direction in conjunction with a power head it may not load up as much but then you’d have to use more plastic making it more expensive lol thanks for braving the cold to show it to us bummer on the low gold take it must be in the other buckets eh. Thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks I do like to keep it simple. I hope there is some better gold in the other buckets. We tested the spot we got the dirt from at it sure looked good. Might have to find a new spot in the spring.
Alan, I would sure like to have one of those with the complete package. Also if you know, how does it work on catching the lower specific gravity 'gemstones'.? (Have you ever thought out a way to catch gemstones.)
Hi Roy, I don't think the mat would work very well for gemstones, no where for them to get caught. Yes I have thought about trying to catch gemstones mostly sapphires for us. I am thinking a fluid bed might work well. Another project I haven't got around to yet.
Amazing amount of thought went into this! Thanks for showing us! 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
Nice High Banker - Keep Warm - Thxs for posting Alan
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks
Alan you are ingenious that is an awesome machine
Thank you I sure am happy with it.
Great set up indeed fam. Keep on having fun. Gold squad out!!!
Appreciate it
Your tinkering mind is a joy to see.
Thanks Mike.
Nice work Alan! I am finally getting around to watching this video. I really like the scooper. Hope those print settings worked for you. Your one tough guy playing in the snow like that. Looking forward to seeing what contraptions you come up with next.
Thanks Colter with the help with the settings, So far so good. I sure had to hurry before everything turned into a ice cube.
Looks great! Love the ability to agitate as much as you need to, especially in some of the clay we have here. Great job!
Thanks Deb, I think it's going to work great on the clay.

Awesome piece of machinery!! Something like that would be perfect for our small trips to the crick !
Thank you. Super easy to setup and run.
Way to go Alan. That thing rocks Bud. I may have to make one. I have the right stuff. Thanks for all your ideas. The feed shovel is going to really help a lot. i kept surging and loading up the mat. Thanks again.
Good luck with your build. That scoop work great I had very little surge at all.

Good idea I might have to try cutting some groves. Those scoops are super tuff.
Another great idea. I swear I wish my mind could work like yours.
You can do it! Just start thinking and never stop and waalla.

If it works, it's always smart. GREAT solution!
Thanks it had to work well my wife will be feeding it the most this summer.
Great job! Really cool stuff here
Thanks a lot!
Velice zajímavé řešení. 👍Zdravím z ČR. 🙋♂ Gold rush.
Thank you the scoop worked out great.
That is a great design, thanks. 👍👍👍
Glad you like it! Thanks
That is awesome Alan, thanks, Happy New Year
Happy new year! Thanks
Cool setup 👍🏻👍🏻👏👏
Thanks! 👍
Yes sir Alan that thing is sweet I definitely like the scooper awesome video and awesome machine
Thanks 👍 Never thought I would be using a feed scoop but the thing works great. Thanks for watching.
@@alanrobertson2510 Can't wait to see Kris using his new toy.
@@billcrockett200 Me two I hope he get out and get some cons soon.
Wow that turned out great ✅😁👍👍🏴☠️🏴☠️
Thanks 👍
Happy New Year Alan! Very nice job. Should be an effect tool in anyones gold prospecting arsenal. Looking forward to seeing in person this spring.
Happy new year Mark. I hope you have more time to get out this year.
See you in the spring.

Thanks Matthew. Snowing like crazy up here right now. I hear it's bad in Missoula. Only about 90 days to go before we can get out again. Stay warm.
Counting the days down man, let me know when you go out I'd like to hang out. Just got a speed controller for my system exited to test my toys. Hope you and yours had a great holiday season.
@@All4Gold That would be fun. You are welcome to join the club in Lincoln. Do you use Facebook?
I don't use Facebook but my wife does, we are members of the Lincoln chapter in the GPAA tho. I'll have her look it up when we get home.
@@All4Gold Then we will see you there in the spring.
Hey yah Alan! great job and I recognize those tapered slots...lol I'm looking at your material and wondering if you've ever taken some of it home to crush. It looks interesting to me!
I have and there is a little in it. Would take a ton of crushing
I think that it is awesome, alot better than my home made high banker that I turned into a river dredge
Thank you.

Glad you like it. Can't wait to take it out in the hills as soon as spring gets here. 80 would be nice. 10 here this morning.

Hi Jeremy, Yes the scoop will come with the high banker. Thanks
Cool I was just checking out your website I seen that you did put them on there thank you Alan now I got to go beg my wife lol see if she'll let me get my card back lol 😆
@@jeremycanterohioprospecting Best of luck to you, Lol

You’ve been busy !!!!!
I have. Got to do something other than sit in the house. Oh and plow snow
@@alanrobertson2510
You can come lay block on this elevator shaft im building…✅✌️
@@FlourgoldWizards Thanks for the invite. I think I'm good

Thanks. I think the whole unit with accessories is $525.00
Wondering the same thing and price, it's awesome
@@alanrobertson2510 , looks like I am going to have to save my money up and order one. Really nice job, I have watched the video several times and I know that I have to have one. Thanks again for the great videos.
15 little specks of gold, you're starting to sound like Jason on Flour Gold Wizards.
You got that right. Lol That spot sure looked to have better gold than that.
Very nice job Alan. Have you done any tailings testing to see if you have any gold loss from scraping the tailings out of the box into the bucket. If any what gold loss % have you. Great job none the less.
Not yet I will have to do that, It was just to cold to do much without ever thing freezing up.
Looks good the only difference I see from a real high banker is the length of you made it twice as long with a longer flat space before the teardrop holes and an upper spray bar aimed from the other direction in conjunction with a power head it may not load up as much but then you’d have to use more plastic making it more expensive lol thanks for braving the cold to show it to us bummer on the low gold take it must be in the other buckets eh.

I was wondering what the cost would be...
Great video
Thanks!
Pretty cool Alan!
I have some ammo cans I'd like to try to make into a mini wash plant. I sure like your printed version though...
Alan... I forgot to ask what pump you're using with this?

~Very good reply.! Do not know about a fluid bed 'but' I do know that people use 'mineral JIGS' to catch gemstones.
Wow thats ideal
Thank you.
Nice job sir. You designed it 3d printer right?
Elinize emeğinize yüreğinize sağlık Süper 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you
What printer do you have? Looks like you can make some pretty good sized parts.
I use the creality cr10s.
Nice. I like. It. Where. Do you. Get. One. Thank. You
Glad you like it. they are at printingprospectors.com
Alan, what part of Montana are you in? I’m up in Lincoln county.
I am down in Missoula county. Thanks for watching
Beutiful 👍 👍 👍
Thanks for the visit
