    This is one of our best Gold Prospecting Hacks yet. You can literally build a working high Banker from just 2 plastic buckets and some PVC tubing ....its Genius, and the really cool thing about it is that it is lightweight and portable, and you can convert it into a recirculation system too. Make sure t get your guess in the comments section to win the Gold we pulled out of my Back Yard and for more vids on building your own gear, watch this video ruclips.net/video/dRnhGfqnpE0/видео.html and smash that like button...SMAS it HARD !!!!!

    I made a high banker with a used stainless sink that i cut out the bottom out at one side mounted it at a slight angle to the sluice box, then used old metal shelf pieces as a rock seperator, added some pvc with holes for water flow that I hookup a water pump too :)
    And scrap 2x4s to build a frame for all of it.
    Recirculating high banker and I spend less than $100 total.

    I often come to your channel for the geology aspect of it. I was recently looking at some of the images from Mars and the terrain on it. I was wondering if you would take a gander at it, and talk about some of the geology that is present, and if you think gold or other precious metals would be found there and why?
    kind of give us a glimpse into what a geologist sees on Mars?

    Have to fixed your metal detector from not rolling on its side if not I have a idea 💡 1 piece of PVC pipe approx 12 inches long , 1 long screw and a wind nut to fit treads. Drill a hole in the middle of the PVC then drill a hole on your metal detector 8 inches from the detectors plate place PVC pipe on the metal detector vertical insert screw thru metal detector and the pvc pipe hand tightened with the wind nut when you want to check rocks for gold lossen wind nut move pcv pipe horizontal and there you go. I hope this works 🎉

    Hi Jeff, I have a geology question about Arizona. I've been doing some research on old gold mine locations and noticed there was NOTHING in Coconino county. I live up near Flagstaff, and was curious what was around. What I found though the closest gold mines were in or around Prescott, then I did see a few up near Page. My question is, why is Northern AZ not a known gold producing area? We have a lot of volcanic activity and faults and all sorts of geological activity. It could be my information was old or not complete.
