Moms Christmas gift 🎅

[Quinc]

Picked up a Goldibox Wash plant for my mom during there BF sale. Liked it so much I bought another one for me. So far I have used the high banker combo a few times and its great. I will get some video after I give it to mom on Christmas. 🎅 This is my first time using it as a dredge. Water was freezing and I should have brought waders instead of boots. Here it is in action. 💪

You were / are running your sluice box NOT level (side to side ) causing the fines load up on the opposite side of the sluice allowing then to be flushed out back to the creek ! Keep a eye on your level when ever your sluicing ! MERRY CHTRISTMASS TO YOU AND YOUR MOM !!!

Been storming and flooding so haven't been able to get out with mom but I was able to get out yesterday after a break in the storm and try out the high banker. The river is up about 12ft higher then normal so forced me to dig in places I wouldn't normally dig. Was getting around 5-10 specs per pan in this spot and ended up with about 150+ specs after 2 hours.

Awesome. Where's the gold picture? That's impressive gold for a high spot on a flooding river.

Camera died. But have extra batteries to bring with me next time. 💪 Depending on weather mom will be here tomorrow and will be taking out her new wash plant and get some video. Have a great spot for her once the water the drops so should be lots of color. 🤞

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all !

@NMGoldHunter Added the gold to this one which was better then I thought it would be. If you or anyone else has any tips or things I should add or leave out of the videos please let me know. If you notice something I could be doing better/different.

Nice take ! 1 other thing , DON'T EVER POST YOUR DIGGING LOCATION or the next time you go there you may not find a M/T parking spot ! Think about it ! But you did well on your video !

Great little video. Impressive gold results! Lose the music though, very distracting. You'll need to narrate or introduce yourself/talk about what you're doing more. Follow in the footsteps of the other prospectors on YouTube and you'll do great. Thanks for sharing!
