what a Beefy job fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Thanks brother!!
Nice lookin high banker. Can't wait to see it running! peace
Thanks!! Me either lol I was a lot of work and fun to build. I’m glad I filmed it to share. I almost didn’t 😅 thanks for watching!!
Awesome build buddy That things gonna catch a lot of gold
Thanks josh!!! If you’re not busy Saturday do you want to help me shovel into it? I think it’s a 2 man banker. Lost my Facebook I’ll have to see if I have your number or just email me on the address in the description
Very cool build. Gave lots of thoughts to doing this myself. Thanks for the incite!!
No problem buddy. If this video helps people I’m happy. I couldn’t find videos like this when I built my first one. I learned a lot running that over the last year and a half and I tried to address problems I had. Ideally this video will help other from making the mistakes I made on the first one. You should definitely build a highbanker it’s a good thing all the way around.
Umm... is my favorite word. 🤣
You've build your own Beast! That looks awesome! I bet you won't be missing much gold now and I cant wait for Saturdays test run!
Good luck brother.
Umm thanks!!😂😂😂😂 I say that so much 😅 I can’t wait either!! Thanks again for watching brother!!
Well done bro!!!! That thing is going to be like the plant in little shop of horrors.... “FEED ME” lol
😂😂😂😂 I think you’re right!! Thanks for watching brother!!
Awesome Build! Now all you need is to makes sure BG's around to help Carry it!😂
😂😂😂😂yeah like she would help. For some reason she don’t like going anymore 😩 hopefully in the spring she will get the fever again. Thanks buddy!!
Looks great man! Can’t wait to see it in action. The extra length should show if you’ve been blowing gold out the end.
Yeah me either!! Yes I want to see how much the second mat is catching. I might not take the whole thing every trip but now I have the option. It will definitely be good if 2 people are shoveling and overloading the banker. Thanks for watching buddy!!
Great build, lots of nice days still coming!
Thanks!! Yeah weather in Iowa is bipolar lol thanks for watching buddy!!
Very impressive build wtg good luck out there
Thanks bro!! It was a lot of work. Appreciate you watching!!
Well on your way to having a beast!!
Indeed I love it lol thanks bro!!
I been watching that thing get heavier and heavier!😂! You do Nice work, though! You Do do nice work!👍!
Thanks brother!! The heaviest part is the mat. Dream mat is pretty heavy stuff. I think it won’t be bad on my back but we shall see. Thanks buddy!!
Loving this build man!
Thanks!!
This has been a long time coming...I bought the aluminum back in the beginning of spring when we were first planting our gardens for the year.
@@BeefyPrepperthegolddigger I have done a bit of sheet metal work in recent years and I love it! So much can be made. You have done well brother.
Thank you very much !!
Beauty build beefy baby!!!
Thanks buddy!! I worked my butt off lol thanks for watching too!!
Awesome build
Thanks!!!
@@BeefyPrepperthegolddigger getting my supplies together hopefully by end of summer I'll have something similar
That’s awesome!! I hope my video helped in some way.
You need a cart like flower gold wizard has to haul that down to the creek. I'd like to see it broke down and attached to the backpack that you have. It all looks good Joe, you put a lot of work in that Highbanker.
Thanks Tye!!! It wouldn’t be possible if you didn’t give me that brake. I did work my ass off to get it built. I just got home from the dr I had a chunk of aluminum in my eye all week 😂😂😂 I cant wait to see how it does with 2 pumps and the improved hopper. Thanks for watching buddy!!!
😂😂😂I have a few pairs but couldn’t find them. I’ll be wearing them next time for sure!!!
I do need a 10” x6” piece of miners moss 😜
I might just use whatever lol it’s to smooth water and catch nuggets
I’ve text you at least 75 times damn it get a new phone 😂😂😂😂
I like the sluice ur building hope u get it done so u can take it out Saturday!! On this video I heard ur music 🎵 I sang w it!! Ur funny when u said f..... u yubtub lol u work out ur garage a lot?? Good video u making ur sluice
I’m in the garage a couple times a week at least. I tried to cover the music 😅 sometimes I forgot to turn it off. Thanks for watching!!
You need a "nugget trap" for under that grizzly. Maybe miners moss, or a piece of Allen Robertson's silicone?!?
Yeah I am going to go to Tyes house and steal a chunk off his 😂😂😂😂 shhh don’t tell him
Awesome video! Really diggin that jigsaw. I have a skil and i hate it haha.
Your best video for information yet, Beefy! Us poor people like learning to do for ourselves. I see your coffee can storage, just like mine hummm same brand too! Keep em Comin' ooOOoo
Yeah I really wanted to show people a full build. I couldn’t find a good build video when I was looking....not saying mine is great but I tried to show how to do it. Thanks brother!!
OK when you’re done would you make me one LOL nice job Joe 8 feet holy Cow Out for now
I’ll make ya 2 lmao or maybe not
holy shit, using an angle grinder with no shield while NOT wearing safety glasses... thats insane.
😂😂😂 yeah not the safest activity. Thanks for watching!!
Looking like a high banker
Just fyi.... A carbide tipped skill saw blade eats aluminum right up. Nice sharp cuts
I’ll have to give that a try
@@BeefyPrepperthegolddigger I was surprised myself... Very skeptical untill I did it. It cuts like a hot knife through butter literally !
Nothing wrong widdat eBay pump! I been using one for 3 years!
Mine works great!!! Do you like how I opened it 😂😂😂😂
@@BeefyPrepperthegolddigger hacksaw?😂😂😂
😂😂😂first thing I saw
Good broo
Thanks brother!!
Bro i like your video's but what i don't like about that video is you don't where savety glasses bro. But you giving me good inspiration bro keep it up
Huge lesson I’m not wearing safety glasses. On this build I got a chunk of metal in my eye. It bothered me for 2 weeks before I went to the doctor. I’m glad I didn’t go blind 😅 thanks for watching!!! Don’t forget your safety glasses!!!
I'm moving some of my stuff to UGETUBE, Soon!
I should check that out.
I was gonna give this video a 10/10 until you ended it without footage of it in action.
That’s another video of its own. Thanks for watching!!
Yet gonna hafta move a Lot more dirt to justify that Build, Joe! Just saying!😂😂!
You’re right!! I’m thinking of paying bg’s oldest son to come Saturday and dig lol. We shall see if he goes for it.
First!🙂
I might have been first 😝
Warn a guy before you weld I didn't have time to put my goggles on
😂😂😂😂 my bad I didn’t even think of that 🤪 thanks for watching buddy!!!
Have u ever tried the dredge mat in a highbanker? Im trying to decide if it would be worth the extra money to go with the dredge mat versus the regular dream mat, I have a mini 6 stream sluice with the mini mat in it that works great at 1/4 inch classification, im problably gonna build a 10 inch highbanker with my 2 goldhog mats that i have with my stream sluice but i want to also either buy or build a 12 inch banker using DM.
Is that 5051 or 6061? Nice work!
I think 5051 but honestly don’t remember for sure. Thanks buddy!!
Would you be interested in going crystal hunting hear in des Moines get ahold of me if so the season is about over
Thanks for the offer!! I have been working 6 days a week 10 hours a day so I’m afraid I don’t have much time. Thanks for watching!!!
Where did you find the aluminum and what size did you get to build the whole thing
I bought 2 -2 foot by 4 foot pieces of .063 aluminum from a local welding shop. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the video and the info. I have been checking the big box stores like lowe's and home depot and they don't carry it in the larger sizes.
Don't us a rubber mallet if u need to form hard edge's
