Testing the Gold Trek HighBanker by Crux Prospecting and finding Gold

[@GSProspecting]

Cool setup indeed fam. Nice Au. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

[@InternalCompassofNC]

Thanks! Will do!

[@DrZiggy-br2dl]

I’ve been looking for a video with plastic sluice think I just found out trek gold sluice by Crux awesome thanks so much

[@InternalCompassofNC]

Glad I could help

[@nopelindoputraperkasa5869]

Best test...Thanks for sharing Very useful and useful God bless 🇮🇩💎⚒️⛏️👍👍

[@InternalCompassofNC]

Thank you Bud

[@Crozbyguy-rg1iu]

Nice little set up. The matts with open sides is an easy fix. Slice up a used inner tube and rubber cement a flap on it. We don't use open sides, but I like it.

[@InternalCompassofNC]

I get exactly what you’re say but the mats fit pretty snug

[@cruxprospecting]

Really great video Will! Your idea to test the capture rate with the BBs was a really clever. It looks like you've been able to spend some solid time with the system because you've got it dialed in really well. Very nice work and thank you so much for the feature!

[@InternalCompassofNC]

I appreciate that Cyle! The BB idea was all Stephen and your box did it’s job. Thank you for make an awesome product!

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Lightweight and it works, too! I like the integrated top water distribution system too. Those mats sure does capture the fine gold. Great video.

[@InternalCompassofNC]

It’s a pretty net system. Thank you bud

[@WheezinGeezerTV]

Man, I love cool shit like this. I mean, years ago this would have been unheard of. Nobody was using plastics, composites, or 3-D printer materials, it was steel and nothing else. So, then it comes down to a balance of light weight and still sturdy enough to use. Like I had said in your last showcase, it's perfect for that quick trip, or prospecting a spot you're sure has gold and you want to run some material, sure beats panning and river sluicing on those occasions. Offers a great test. And it's pretty cool looking to boot.

[@cruxprospecting]

Thank you so much!

[@InternalCompassofNC]

Thank you Wheezin! I always look forward to you comments.

[@Palestine.Islam007]

We are enjoying watching your videos, keep it up , one day you find a 5 ounce nugget, but keep an eye on the Little Rock’s good stuff

[@InternalCompassofNC]

I appreciate that, Thank You , Ill be sure to pay close attention.

[@Pa.PatriotProspecting]

Nice little machine, held onto the bb caught some gold, nothing in the catch pan and lightweight! 💪🏻👍🏻

[@InternalCompassofNC]

I appreciate that Pa, thank you Bud!

[@josephsmith9374]

Cool little unit. I enjoy myself a little more with the lightweight equipment and can put more time and energy into finding the gold. Nice review Will👍👍

[@InternalCompassofNC]

I agree Joseph. The fun is in the hunt for the gold. I appreciate it bud, thank you.

[@pappyb9644]

Nice set up enjoyed the video caught some gold too ⚒️🇺🇸🕳️⛏️

[@InternalCompassofNC]

I appreciate that Pappy, thank you Bud!

[@etarheel1]

Great video thank you. I’m considering buying one now because of your video!

[@InternalCompassofNC]

I appreciate that Bud, Good Luck Out There! Heavy pans!!

[@amelialaw9586]

this looks really good I so wish I lived over there so I could get my hands on one of these. how much to send one of these beauty's to New Zealand

[@InternalCompassofNC]

Thank you! I’m unsure about shipping logistics. The link for the company is in the description, they are great people and answer any questions you may have.

[@easternoutdoorexpeditions]

You knocked this one out the park brother. Very educational and very effective. Keep up the great work 🤘🏼

[@InternalCompassofNC]

I appreciate it bud, thank you!

[@billymitchem5256]

Hey just found you and subscribed. I’m a Nc man myself good hunting

[@InternalCompassofNC]

Glad to have you! 👋👋

[@vickifinch7398]

Heck yea buddy!!!

[@InternalCompassofNC]

I appreciate that, thank you!

[@grasshoppercrews1296]

That really cool and very portable ,yes sir 💯

[@SPMining]

Turned out great man!

[@InternalCompassofNC]

I appreciate that bud, thank you!

[@ScorpionMetals]

Woo hoo

[@InternalCompassofNC]

💪💪💪

[@SasquatchBioacoustic]

Great looking machine. I'd like it even better if I could just buy the crash box and put it on top of my 8x36 inch aluminum sluice box.

[@InternalCompassofNC]

That would be really cool if you could. Thank you Sasquatch!

[@blisteringbarnaclesmagnets6364]

Very nice 👍🧲⚓️

[@InternalCompassofNC]

Thank you Blistering Barnacles

[@timrodatz1274]

Do you do any Burke County?

[@InternalCompassofNC]

I unfortunately haven’t prospected there yet!

[@Raubgraeber]

Is it stable, how long do you think it will take to break? it's plastic

[@InternalCompassofNC]

Mine hasn’t broke yet. It’s surprisingly strong.

[@tomborris7022]

👀👀

[@InternalCompassofNC]

👍

[@JakeWitmer]

11:20 ...but how could you know? The ratio could be terrible. You have no way of knowing. Could be a billion atomic particles it didn't catch that a cyanide leech would have caught.

[@InternalCompassofNC]

This was to demonstrate the capture rate of visible gold. You obvious can’t catch every micro particulate.Your average gold prospector will never dive into leaching or amalgamating material. Good comment though. Thank you Jake. Happy New Year!

[@alfredmisterka5880]

How much for the setup

[@InternalCompassofNC]

Link is in description

[@JyegarNamunu]

I'd like to buy one please

[@InternalCompassofNC]

Go for it! The link is in the description.

[@thevikingwolfpack836]

Wish those didn't cost so much

[@InternalCompassofNC]

I understand that but I’ve been very pleased with it so far. No complaints.

[@Shoop...]

This highbanker is clearly marketed as a backpack unit and is sold in kits with bilge pump and 12v batteries. I'm not sure why this was filmed and tested out with a huge gas powered unit instead of a bilge. If you are parked so close to the creek that you can carry that monster sized pump then you can carry a much larger highbanker as well. I wouldn't mind seeing this ran as intended, with 12v power as this is the only way I'd consider running one of these. The most important factor in my mind is what is the lowest gph bilge that will effectively run this unit as the lower gph equals less amp draw allowing you to run your unit either longer on the same battery or allowing you to carry a smaller and thus lighter unit into the field. Running this with a trash pump is pretty unrealistic to me, I'd simply run a larger more productive banker. On a side note, I would be so much more inclined towards purchase if companies like this would give you the option to purchase the unit without mats. As an enthusiast, I want to chose and purchase 3rd party mats without having to pay for something I absolutely don't want. I feel like many hobbyists would agree with this and they'd end up moving more units. It would literally be one of the biggest positives mentioned in user reviews. Thanks for the video.

[@cruxprospecting]

I would guess about half my customers use bilge and half use gas pumps(including me). There's regulatory issues in some places such as BC which make bilge pumps effectively illegal or at least very difficult to use legally due to the limit of hose length. I also understand that people tend to have their own mat preference but, I will say that nobody that's tried my mats has switched back to what they were using before. My system should be compatible with other brands of mat but it's really difficult for me to guarantee effectiveness or support those types of customers so I prefer to avoid it. Hope this all makes sense, thank you for the feedback!

[@rayon3383]

What is the lowest gph bilge pump someone "can use? What size comes with the unit? I had no idea you can use a gas powered pump and not electric it BC but I am intrigued and thinking about buying your sluice box, great video thank you guys

[@cruxprospecting]

@@rayon3383 With absolute optimal setup you can get away with a 1500gph bilge pump but I generally recommend 2000 because you get a little more leeway at minimal battery cost. Gas pumps are a little different and pretty much any 1 inch "trash pump" will provide plenty of water. There's a lot of brands out there but the Honda wx10 is probably the best when it comes to weight and reliability but they are expensive
