- The Bucket Blaster High Banker is cheap to make and has a new and improved design to bust up that clay with no grizzly bars and it loses very little water witch is great for a recirculating sluice box set up.

Awesome and frugal. Expensive equipment isn't needed, diy equipment is much more rewarding in my opinion. Makes a guy feel good with a personal touch of innovation. Thanks, keep them coming .
I am with you I would much rather make my own and in a lot of cases it works better than the expensive stuff. Thanks for watching more videos to come.
I like it because so simple even I could build it. An Australian fella used rubber floor mats to catch gold in his sluice and they worked great which is another $ saver.
Thank you.
Alan, the best thing about all your videos is the fact that you are not afraid to challenge the system! Also, if it works for you, then it will work for the rest of us! God bless and keep looking forward!
Thank you Richard You are right my inventions do not have all the bells and whistles for me I just care that it works and that it is simple enough for anyone to make with just a few tool and I am having a blast sharing my ideas. Take care and thanks for watching.
This is great!! Looks like a pretty easy build, boils them rocks up nice! I’m sure that’s gonna help recovery for you!!
excellent Ingenuity Allen thank you. I like the way you improvise everything out of everyday materials
Thank you I do try and keep it simple as I can for me and everyone else. Thanks for watching.
Great build brother man... looking forward to the current build. Thank you and happy hunting.
Thanks for this. I'm new to the idea of mining gold. This gives me some ideas on how to make a high bank sluice.
Thanks Have fun
Awesome job guy lived it when weather is better here I'll show you mine for micro work
Thank you. I look forward to seeing you project. I hope spring gets here soon.
Looking good. I like that you are always trying to improve what you've done, fun watching you.
Thank you my set up has come a longways in the last two years. Not done yet. Thanks for watching
That is a nice setup.
Thanks for watching
looks like great system :)
Nice Video as always!
Another great video. Thx for sharing. CR
Thank you for watching
Nice!! I'm gonna have to make one! Thanks!
Good luck on your high banker. Thanks for watching
excellent video,that is a very efficient diy highbanker.i really like your design and am planning to build it this winter.i live in southeast British Columbia,Canada just north of the montana border and the ground i work always has hard to break up clay.im really interested in trying it with your design.thank you for shareing.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck
Way cool.
That really is a great invention😉👍
Thank you I think I am going to like this one
Nice. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching
Thats Great!!!! gave me some ideas!!!!
Great! Thanks
Liiiike it!Washing and spreading up,and rewashed down in the harper,All heavies will be released,two men working on that,one in the highbanker,the other coming and going with two Shovelators(R)for use them directly on,can move lots of dirt.Love it,no classifying,washing and washing,but Please.wait for the spring,ha ha.Thank you Alan,thats great!
This one is going to move a lot of dirt for sure. you know I won't wait until spring to run it again. As you can tell I hate classifying material it take a lot of time and it's hard on the back.
WOW hope you get the gold this year!
Good stuff now we just need this darn snow to melt!!
Yes we do a mild winter here so far I hope it lasts.
Niiice....!!!
Thank you for your performance. You always have simple, but very helpful, practical tips. , greetings Goldjunge Tom
Hi Tom Thank you. I did find out how to watch your videos with the captions in English. It looks cold there as well.
@@alanrobertson2510 Thank you. In the near future, I will also record everything in English,
Keep it up.
Greeting Goldjunge
Nice!!
Thank you.
Winter has its grip on us here in MN too.
You guys are getting hit hard it finally decided to show up here.
Looks like another keeper Alan. That should give your clay a good washing. I have my mold made and hope to make a silicone mat in the next day or two. Thanks for the info.
I think I will like this set up just fine. One more tip on the mats when you put the silicone in the soap if it will not stick together you have to much soap if it stays sticky not enough soap I hope this helps good luck.
That will help a lot. Thanks.
Great job! I hate grizzly bars for the same reason... large skinny rocks always fall through... I need to build me a bucket blaster or one of your bucket trommels! It is on my builds list lol.
Keep up the great work
Hello Michael I had no idea that the grizzly bars would let so many big rock fall into the sluice. I will never do that again. Not sure witch one I will like the best yet the high banker is for sure the easiest and cheapest to make. I am going to make a new trommel that will fit on a gold cube we will see how that goes. Take care and thanks for watching.
Looks like a much nicer version of what i built when i first got into prospecting.
Oh yea, it’ll work great!
That is actually very awesome. I totally like the concept it don't look like much but the name of the game is if it works. So if it is finding you a lot of gold then that is what you go for. Sometimes people do all kinds of engineering to figure out the best thing for extracting the concentrates and or running concentrates such as what you're showing some people spend lots of money making some fancy things. But I am with you on this sometimes it is actually quite simple. And this proves my theory of sometimes the simplest ways are the best ways especially if they are persistent and work..
Thank you. As you can tell from my channel I am not one to just spend a ton of money. It is easy to make your own stuff that catches gold just as well as the expensive stuff. Thanks for watching.
Hi Alan great video, your next project build yourself a big shed with a big wood burner keep worm lol. Wales uk
Good idea bigger shed more mining equipment.
Another goody Alan Thanks
I have a suggestion that may help. If you attach a board on an angle from the top of your crash box angled down to just past the opening for discharging onto the sluice to act as a deflector plate, then you should be able to easily feed with your bucket shovel. I made one very similar to yours but I have lots of square buckets so used them. I have the same issue here with shale here. I've tried the grizzly bars and had exactly the same problem but had some 1/2" punch plate which seems to work well.
Keep warm. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for the idea that should work. I tried the punch plate it worked for the rocks just fine just to much surface area and I was losing a ton of water.
Another great set-up! Makin me miss Montana
Thank you I can't wait to try it out in the spring. If it helps it has been -20 twice in the last week here in Montana.
@@alanrobertson2510 I'm in South Dakota so about the same here with wind. Single digit highs.
@@leehilton9932 Dang I guess I didn't help at all
@@alanrobertson2510 not in the weather department. You have better scenery to look at out there. Where I'm at its flat!!!
@@leehilton9932 You are right the scenery here is hard to beat any time of the year and not to much wind.
An idea, maybe put more of a back on your screen so some water flows along top of hareware cloth, it may help carry rock along more and if not, would clean it more befor you helped it along. Can't wait to see you out in the bush, cleaning the gold out this spring/summer !
Thank you I might have to give it a try. I am counting the days and hoping this mild winter holds up last year it was mid May before we could get out. Thanks for watching.
Gotta tell ya big al .. your a man on a mission.. just fabbo ..😁
Yes I am this year I hope to have my set up just the way I want it so I can concentrate on digging for that gold. Thanks for watching.
Muito bom amigão muito inteligente like like gostei
Thank you glad you liked it.
Another great video. No need to pay $700 or more for a high banker. Make your own for next to nothing.
Thanks for sharing.
I think a lot of people get caught in that trap thinking they need that expensive equipment when you don't at all.
@@alanrobertson2510 Lol you have proven that.
I would love a more detailed video of how and what you used to make this. I'm new to God hunting and just trying to research and get all my stuff together, and I love your videos! Also, how do I buy one of those mats you were talking about? Thanks
Here is the video on making a high banker. ruclips.net/video/Tik_eSgg4iU/видео.html The molds for making the mats are at printingprospectors.com
How about a build video and plans for it ?
Can you do a video without the highbanker. I'm looking for some ideas for just a header box.
Thanks for the video. I'm new to prospecting and getting some great ideas for putting a header box/high banker on my Angus McKirk. What's the GPH on the pump you're running?
Good luck with you sluice box I was running a 2000 gph pump I hope you find a ton of gold thanks for watching.
Really love this idea!!Thinking of borrowing your idea ,you don't mind?Interested in how you make your stands
Thanks build away I am not using this anymore the bucket trommel is much faster. My stands are nothing more than some 2x2 and held together with C clamps. Cheap but effective. Thanks for watching.
Alan, again, great idea. Unless you have a person manning the clearing of the grizzly bars, they always seem to clog up. I feel like a carefully placed bead of silicone underneath the entire base (including across the mesh) would create a low point where water couldn’t travel any further and fall into the sluice, turning your minimal loss into almost none. Most of it seems to travel along the bottom of the 2x2”s to the end. Something simple you might try next time you crack a tube of silicone out.
Have you watched Allan Guthmiller’s Home Depot bucket trommel and dewatering trommel videos? I would be interested in what you come up with after seeing that in action.
Good idea Chris I will have to give that a try next time. I have watched Allan's videos and he did a great job. The only thing is with his set up you better plan on being there for a while to make it worth it. Just my two cents. Thank for the idea.
His full set up is pretty big and to be honest I’m pretty amazed how little water you are losing despite your rigs small size. I will be trying a setup like yours. I like that yours acts as a trommel, classifier and clay breaker all in one.
Love your bucket setup Al, what type of water pump you using?
I use a 2000 gph bilge pump.
The problem I had with the wire mesh was that stones would get caught in it and slowly plug it up. They were a pain to clear because I had to pick them out one by one. I finally went back to grizzly bars but 1/2 inch is too wide and I can't find any that are 1/4 inch spacing.
Sorry to here that I have not had that problem at all and I have used it in all kinds if projects. I agree the 1/2 inch are to big I made mine 1/4 inch and it still let in a ton of big rocks. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Keep an eye on dumps,bike baskets and fronts of gas bottle stoves have a quarter inch frame,with flat surface
Looking like it works great think about the money you save buy dyi
Saved a ton of money for sure.
? If you where to sell 172 cts of Sapphire rough what would you charge for it? I have that much Montana Sapphires just curious to the value most of the stones are 1+ct
Supreme Yankee Inginuity Alan
Thank you Topper It only needs to work for me to use it not much into the bells and whistles.
That thing is Rockin'! Very cheap and I believe better than some of these top brands. Lol
Do you think it is possible to have almost the same set up and use a 3 or 4 gpm marine manual pump work? Or around 30 gpm better? Thank you sir.
I use a 2000 gph marine pump most of the time
Gallons per hour, that right? That's nearly 33 gallons a minute. Thank you Alan, you helped me get an idea. Enjoy your morning, hopefully there's sunshine and no rain.
What gph is your beilge pump on your bucket sluce ?
I was using my 2000 gph pump
! ! !
Thank you for watching.
