- Was pretty keen to check out the new "Dream Mat" so when BeagleBoy invested in a new Goldrat Highbanker I was lucky enough to give it a whirl at my place. Dont forget to check out www.goldngemsaustralia.com
I really dig how slick the workmanship is down there! Such a nice piece of gear, Simple, clean and functional.. And with those k-Dream mats, a perfect mate...I saw those mats at a gpaa show earlier this year and am stoked to see the testing and at how well they seem to work! Going to have to give them a go. They look as though they can handle quite a toss. Cheers and thanks!
Yeah its by far and a way the best built banker Ive seen, and the mats really are something else. Cheers Mate.
great video mate, glad you blokes took the skirt off and put some water through her in the later part. ive been ruthless and ran 4 inches of water through a 12" highbanker and still had crazy good gold recovery. thanks for the honest review.
Yeah more water helps smash up the clay too, couple more goes and we will have it running at its optimum, full of gold, ;)
Very nice box, i love that dream mat and it is made in OZ,good gold for the first run. Cheers Phil.
Thanks Phil, Hope the Forde is still giving it up.
great video thanks for the info. wish the manufacturer had an outlet here. I might have to order the mats and build around it
Well worth it, best mat I've used.
very nice set up yas have their the highbankers a minter and cool demo on that dream matting it sure looked like it handles a lot of material with no problems thanks for showing us
No worries mate, more than I can shovel, haha
I checked them out and WOW those high bankers are expensive. Looks like it's been well built and works but adding shipping to the USA puts it out my league.
Mid range over here but your right exporting high bankers can get super expensive, ones from the USA usually have a minimum 30% extra cost on them by the time they land over here.. At least you have a good deal on Aussie dollars ATM, saves you 25%.
Nice Gold Way Cool 💯⛄🍺
Yep mate gram by gram. Cheers Phil.
I'd like to see what would come out of that hole with a 3 or 4 inch dredge! I bet that dream mat would work fantastic with a dredge.....great video!
so would i mate but sadly they are banned here, does a dredge struggle with hard pack or clay?
As long as your pump is kicking out 70+ psi of water pressure through the flare they'll usually chew through the hard pack but that clay is some tough stuff to run. Yeah were dealing with a ban on dredging here in northern California as well.
Jeez theres some nice gold in there mate !! I just bout a dream mat from Gold Rat and am building a sluice specifically for it ! cant wait to test out I'll be finishing the sluice today !! Nice little corner of the world you've got there mate keep up the good work ! :)
Thanks mate, I'm doing the same thing, got my mats a few days ago.
That chunky gold is good.... :)
sure is, thanks mate.
why such big spaces in grizzly bars.. ?
For big gold mate, hahahaha. You'd have to ask the manufacturer, but with the matting the big stuff just bounces out with the right pressure.
Where are you man you haven’t put a video on for ages 😔
TAS D I'm still kicking mate, last few vids didn't seem to kick on view wise so I thought I'd give everyone a bit of a break, I've had a few messages from folks checking in so I must be due to do another. Cheers.
Balxies Gold Adventures. Mate I like your videos you and your kids going prospecting it’s a great laugh You should make some more I will watch them lol ⚒
TAS D overall views are still growing well just thought a little hiatus might freshen things up, due for a big winter on the gold so brace yourself mate, thanks for checking in.
Balxies Gold Adventures. Not a problem mate look forward to your next Video 👊🏻😊👍🏻
160th thumb up 👍.

May 1st 2021 today. On April 1st I paid $206 for the 10" x36 mat to have it delivered "express" from Australia to Oregon, US. Got it 4 days ago.😆
THEY ARE OVERWHELMED SO ORDER EARLY.
I'd match my gold hog raptor 2.0 against it. I've used the dream mats and their capture rates are much lower then the gold hog mats I run 98.9%. The high banker itself looks pretty good. I don't like spray bars how ever as they tend to plug up using semi trash pumps. Excellent video and good luck with your mining exploits.
Not much fine gold. Same problem I had with the dream mats. Test your tailings and you'll see what I mean.
Im not much for picking teams regarding recovery systems but in their defence there is very little fine gold in this creek and I have used the mats at Eldorado which has very fine flour gold and it caught almost all of it just a few specs in the tailings. My favorite system is a bread crate set up which is 100% free so they all are pretty good if used correctly. Cheers mate.
Nothing wrong with the mat re fine gold , I, like a lot of other people in the world spent years experimenting with creating low presure cells in lots of formats and it always came back to very simple physics, regardles of the shape it is all about the speed of the water passing over the obsticle, so doesnt matter which commercial system being used it has to adjusted by the operator to suit the conditions you want to achieve, thats why some mat makers hedge their bets with several different mats on one sluice, with dream mat simply adjust the waterflow to get the results you want. I would encourage people to really experimentwith their flow rates on any sluice, start run pump way to slow then way too fast checking the tailings and you will soon getthe confidence to match the flow with the expected type of gold and soil conditions, If youstart getting all sexed up over 1 percent difference in performance your putting thecart before the horse, better spending your mind and time prospecting the area to get the best return rather than chasing 1 percent in tailings.
It’s called a Dream Mat because only in your dreams does it work as well as Hungarian riffles.
All those air bubbles runnining down your sluice not good
Doesn't matter if there's no flour gold in the area mate.
