Gold Hog Mat

[wa-au-nut]

Has anyone used Gold Hog Mat? I'm building a highbanker and thinking of useing it but woundering how it held up. I am converting my A52 useing a Cal sluice hopper. Like the idea of quick cleanups. Gold where I'm prospecting is mostly small flood gold -20.

Everything I am hearing says it is awesome! A must have

Have not tried it. I'm using Vortex Mat now. Can't say enough good things about it.

My thought is to have different sluice beds for different conditions. Streams here on the wet side of Wa. have a few flat flakes and fly poop. Over the Hump has bigger gold up to pickers and nuggets. Use riffleless with expanded over UR on the west side and Riffles on the dryside. But wanted to know how it held up over time before I put out the bucks.

Where in WA are you located if you don't mind me asking? I've only been prospecting in this state a short time. Logged some desert hours though. And this may be a stupid question, but did you read the gold hog which mat to use section and their reviews?

 

[wa-au-nut]

I'm in Snohomish. I work some on the S.F. Nooksack up by Bellingham and up Stevens Pass way also the Raging Rv down by I-90. Then Club claims (WPMA)on Blewett Pass. I have watched the Vids thats why I'm interested.

i have not used it but there are several guys on here that have and all say that it works really well. i think it would work great for what your doing but so would the Vortex Mat from what i've seen it grab's everything even the 100 mesh and smaller. good luck

My dad bought one of the mini hogs. We love the mats. We live in Indiana fine gold here. We went with some friends yesterday they was using mat and riffles. We seamed catch more gold.

 

[improvmechanic]

@chief how small were you catching?

I'm in island county myself. Hit open river last weekend, and we're working on hitting the sultan soon on wpma land. Good luck bud!

 

[chief701]

I don't know how to gauge it. I say - 100 my dad friend was try explain it to me I just don't get it lol there was sum u had to use a jewelers loop to see The friend said that was good I hope that helps

 

[blynch35]

if your catching -100 your doing good and catching all there is good luck.

I use the scrubber in the top 36" of my highbanker trommel and another 36" of razorback in a back up sluice and I find VERY little in the razorback. I have run material at the Mississippi river near St. Louis and have found talc powder size gold and smaller. - 100 for sure. I swear by it! Awesome stuff and well worth the investment.

 

[chief701]

Barndawg what kind of trommel are u running. Been looking at them on Internet think about buying one

 

[wa-au-nut]

Think I'll give it a try. I'll order the UR mat and use it under my expanded riffle less. Hope it holds up!

edited I think, if I got the right one.
Sorry ! Since the OP asked & especially since you are a supporting Vendor,
I'm confused on the complaint

Well, the link didn't even go to Doc's online store, it went to someone else...a sort of a mining Rick-roll! Thanks Jeff!
