Hi Alan! Saw Prospector Paul's show video and noticed you subbed to Paul👍😃 I'm just a little channel but I want to support your channel for helping Paul get to his goal💯 I'm looking forward to your content and learning more from your channel and others as I venture out metal detecting the beautiful state of Arizona💚🏜️ Thanks Alan🙋🌟

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thanks i will check it out.

[@Fed2thewolves]

I love this!! Its completely portable, and I LOVE the 3D printed parts. "Work with what you got!!" Brilliant!!

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thanks, Can't wait to get it up to the claim to try it out.

[@thingsofdoing4507]

Seems next he should 3d print some mat's ripples work good dry too an try catching heavy 🪨 before bucket's

[@thingsofdoing4507]

Water sprayer down side tub an mat's inside it

[@lou59804]

Alan I love it, I knew you had more good bucket ideas and thanks for the shout out. Louis

[@alanrobertson2510]

Glad you like it, Cant wait to get out and use it. See you soon.

[@hockeydad6211]

Work smarter not harder. I love your ideas.

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thank you

[@GSProspecting]

great setup indeed fsm. keep at it fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

[@alanrobertson2510]

Appreciate it. Thanks

[@260grew]

Awesome Alan....now make it so it can be used in the Creek....kids flotation tubes should work....In the simple things you can find the sublime

[@alanrobertson2510]

No I just made it for dry dirt. But something to think about.

[@wilfor03]

That'll definitely work, Alan....you're a sly old fox .....Great job....gonna built me one for the waverunner PWC when I go to the smaller streams sniffin around......Love it, Dude..... Bill

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thanks, Have fun. Can't wait to hit the hills. Good luck out there.

[@goldentroutprospecting1821]

Great idea! If you use two buckets then you could make the sides a couple inches higher then the screen.

[@alanrobertson2510]

Good idea. I will probably lower the pipe some.

[@jk-76]

This gave me motivation to make a highbanker pretty much the same way! I made a bucket blaster a couple years ago and it was perfect for the clay that shows up in the New Mexico desert.

[@utahavalanch]

Looks good Alan. You could run a header bar across the top and about 14” spraybars down the sides and make it a wet washer for wetter dirt. Set your bucket in that black tray and make a recirculating set up. Your 1100 pump would really give the rocks a good washing.

[@alanrobertson2510]

Hi Utah, How the heck are you? So glad to hear from you. Hope all is well. Your idea would work great might have to give it a try sometime. Take care

[@gregorbrooks3840]

That is a great idea. I will have to make one for sure. Thank you again Alan!

[@alanrobertson2510]

Go for it! It works great

[@stevehansen2367]

Awesome engineering! Love watching the thought process.

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thank you very much!

[@paulcoover9197]

What a great idea. Alan, You rock. Sweet.

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thank you kindly

[@tlynnrailroad8854]

Alan, I just subscribed to your channel, hope it helps you in some way. Your creations are marvelous, your the MacGyver of gold miners. If you shook the screen a little bit then you may not have to scrape it with your shovel. I pan in creeks in north Georgia so to utilize your idea I thought of installing the screen hinged to a plastic tub that I can submerge in the creek. I'll be working on that starting tomorrow. thanks.

[@sovereignlivingsoul]

very nice, with a few minor adjustments, that could become a pretty handy unit

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thank you

[@joshortiz1576]

Looks good!! Great idea.

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thanks!

[@KODArunner]

Yep Alan, ya did it again! Outside of the box there is more room to think! Keep up the good work and remember, God is your friend!

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thank you, I will

[@chrislilly1463]

Very nice! Great payback to how you can do things simply and cheap, but also showing how 3D printing parts can help. That looks like it would help you shovel right onto a river sluice as well as filling buckets.

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thanks Chris. This is going to be fun to use.

[@MountaineerMichael]

Another Great Idea!! That thing is Rockin'! Giving me some good ideas, thank you sir. Best of luck on your prospects!

[@alanrobertson2510]

Glad i could give some ideas. Good luck and have fun.

[@franksgoldadventures1299]

Great idea

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thank you! 😊

[@bobcansee]

Pretty cool Alan, works great!

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thanks 👍

[@mandybrown7758]

That is really cool idea, very talented cool cheap way to classify

[@alanrobertson2510]

Glad you like it! Thanks

[@kevinhubbard8039]

very cool my friend easy and done , great ideas

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thank you very much

[@jeremycanterohioprospecting]

All right that works awesome got to hand it to you you're always coming up with something that brain of yours works like a clock 24/7 lol keep up all the good work 👍⛏️🔘

[@alanrobertson2510]

You got that right! Always trying to make it easier on this not so young guy.

[@outdoorwally8430]

Cool cool👍

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thank you.

[@tonyblea6829]

Seems to me it's more Common Sense engineering great job

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thanks Tony. it's going to be fun to use.

[@danhodgins4015]

Allan, you have read my mind! Recently I've been thinking about designs for a lightweight, backpackable high speed production classifcation screen / gravel screen. Would enable very, very fast classification to -1/4". The 'shovel onto screen' method is way faster and easier than shaking buckets as gravity does most of the work. I think gravel screens are very underrated as a way to speed up one's excavation and classifcation efforts and thereby have lighter, drier buckets to move. This leads to WAY more materal processed at the end of the day as you aren't spending precious time and energy on waste material / gangue. For people who can't highbank I think this is the best way to increase the amount of yardage one can move in a day.

[@alanrobertson2510]

I think you are exactly right. I am surprised that more people don't use a screen like this. So simple and affective. I will love using this this summer just shovel and classify at the same time then sit in the lawn chair and feed the sluice. Good luck if you make your own.

[@aliprovidence9321]

Great idea as always! I wanna build one of these but I will add more width to the mash screen to have a U shape, The material under that doesn't need that much space so I can get more load and rolling effect better, and instead of being steady I rather have a swing effect by spring on top of the load section cross to the side stands. let me know what is your opinion.

[@CandSMINING]

Alan, you have hit a homerun. This will be a real asset to us who drywash in the desert. Amazing Alan sure beats a single screen on a bucket. Is that 3/4 PVC? 😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

[@alanrobertson2510]

Can't wait to see what you come up with, Yes 3/4 pvc pipe.

[@buffalokrisgoldprospecting]

I'd love to check out one of them new cleanups loosest you have Kirk said you was going to send one

[@alanrobertson2510]

Be out to you soon

[@buffalokrisgoldprospecting]

Thanks brother I'll put it to good use sir

[@johnruckman2320]

Hmm!? Turn that into a header box grizzly to turn your sluice box into a highbanker. Or do you have something similar made with a three sided spray bar? I need something for my Jobe 10" sluice with attached legs. Trying to figure out what to do with my Keene 6" sluice, like leave it as is or change it up. Also i want to build a light gutter sluice like Tom & Perry's Clean Up Sluice but wider for areas with fine gold. But, how do I make the flair and what do I put on the inside?

[@FlourgoldWizards]

Piece of cake 👍🏻 Is that a white sand beach ? 🥶🤣

[@alanrobertson2510]

yep and it's going fast. Yea

[@scrapyardprospecting3855]

Lol I’ve been planning up a sluice on the same kind of concept using buckets basicly that but heat and flatten for mats and put a washer head on it. That way it breaks down cheap to make and weighs ounces vrs lbs. if we could put our minds together we’d be dangerous lol. One day I’ll get back to Montana been way tooooo long since I’ve been home 30 yrs

[@alanrobertson2510]

Know place like Montana. The bucket idea would work. Good luck to you and have fun.

[@cferguson6688]

I think they already call that a hopper for a highbanker.

[@nicholassteichen4552]

The leg clamps are rad! I was just trying to figure out a similar solution 🤔

[@alanrobertson2510]

They work great. I like c clamps for diy leg clamps.

[@allansgoldmining]

Works pretty good there Alan. Did you make this for that honey hole you found last year ? Love those DIY projects. 👍👍👍

[@alanrobertson2510]

Yes I did, Cant wait to get out there. I few more weeks I'm guessing

[@nicholassteichen4552]

Be cool to see you two collaborate. I've gotten so much info and build ideas from you two!

[@alanrobertson2510]

@@nicholassteichen4552 That sure would be fun. I think I would need to take out a loan to get down there right now or get Allan to drive up his little smart car.

[@nicholassteichen4552]

I totally get it. We're taking our oldest to the grand canyon this summer, and it's gunna hurt the wallet for sure.

[@nikkovellios]

You spent more money on 3d printer filament than just buying PVC 😂. I do the same sometimes. Cool project, I need to build something portable like this.

[@alanrobertson2510]

Thanks for watching!

[@Mark-Delta]

Hello Sir, your Carhartt Coat looks pretty distressed now, what do you think about a new Carhartt Update video? It would be interesting to see your 20 years+ old jacket again also, does it still exist actually?

[@alanrobertson2510]

Hello Yes that old coat still exists. If I did as new review video on the new Carhartt jacket it wouldn't be good this new coat is only a few years old and falling apart.

[@Mark-Delta]

@@alanrobertson2510 That's not good news. Maybe the new models are not as good and durable as the old ones used to be. But anyway, Carhartt is still a very good company in my opinion.
