Is Michigan good for gold? I been interested and done a little research. Which mostly said that the gold would be in the northern lower peninsula to the whole of the upper peninsula. Is this true?

[@allansgoldmining]

Picklepuss mat is the best !! I've been using it for three years, and I'm constantly amazed of the amount sub 200 mesh gold it recovers. Shawn is right, virtually all the gold is captured on the first third of the mat. I can attest to that ! Thanks Shawn for making this !!! 🤠⛏⚒👍👍👍

[@MountaineerMatt]

I think it'll do really well once it's available for purchase 👍🌟

[@Mattytube18]

How do I get ahold of one?

[@shawndilley2569]

Awesome edit Matt. Looks good. It was a blast. Looking forward to the next adventure

[@ANDYTHRAXX]

Excellent explanation by your pal Shawn, it’s so tranquil watching you guys sluice away!!

[@shawndilley2569]

Thank you for the compliment. Heavy pans to Andythraxx mining.

[@MountaineerMatt]

He's very knowledgeable. It is pretty peaceful out there 👍

[@danielstrickland1005]

Nice! That was my first look at the Picklepuss Mat and Sluice! Way Nice! I like the explanation of how it works and captures all that black sand with the gold! Those cons looked terrific! Didn't see much on the clean up, but what I saw looked easy enough, and the Mat Processes that material extremely well! Wonderful and instructive video, thanks Matt!

[@GSProspecting]

looking good fam. nice AU. keep on digging fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

Right on Matt, sluice setup can definitely be tricky. I like to have mine at one inch of drop per foot of sluice box. But you do have to control the amount of water flow to have it going good.

[@MountaineerMatt]

It's all about the getting the fine adjustments. Taking the extra time to get it setup just right is well worth it 👍

[@swamper4448]

Great video Matt keep them coming👍

[@irishgoldslinger]

I always bring a level with me and a 2X4 remnant if I need to get my angle right

[@ninefingermining8694]

Cool video awesome setup explanation 👍🏻

[@shawndilley2569]

Thank you sir. Heavy pans to you

[@oldpelon]

Good info on setup

[@MountaineerMatt]

I hope it was helpful! We'll have another coming soon with your sluice in it!

Hey there Matt, enjoyed the video. Setting up a sluice in low water can be a real pain. The tail of the sluice should be as close to being out of the water as possible as not to create a back flow which changes the dynamics of the flow. In that case, I've started using sand bags to build a dam which allows more water flow rather than using rocks for a dam. Its a features game changer in low water.. I have a similar mat in my 10 "sluice I got from ebay or amazon for $30. It catches the smallest of fines.

[@Smithsgold]

Sluice on !!!!

[@s.d.iprospecting4359]

Your type of material u run is a big variable to setting up a sluice no matter what type of matting u run.

[@raymondcoriz9500]

Hey Matt. How do I get the Picklepuss mat? I’m reaching out because Damon mentioned the mat on his latest video.

[@MountaineerMatt]

They haven't been made for a while but I've had enough people ask now that I think I'll start making them myself. I'll make an announcement once I'm able to resource the materials and make them available.

[@Mattytube18]

Did you ever make another vid with the picklepuss?

[@MountaineerMatt]

No I spend most of my time panning or detecting. Sluicing just hurts my back too much

[@danielstrickland1005]

I'm still looking to buy one of these picklepuss mats. I have not had any replys, yet.

[@MountaineerMatt]

Hi Daniel. I'm sorry to say that Shawn, the creator, has passed away and these mats will aren't available anymore to my knowledge.

[@danielstrickland1005]
