Doc's vision of perfection.....

Doc has had a vision and desire for years. Build the ULTIMATE highbanker that met ALL his desires, wants, and needs. (As well as solved problems.) The MONSTER HOG is the result of this journey. A unit so powerful and efficient that it breaches / fills the gap between recreational and commercial operations. 

List of goals and problems to solve....

"Gold is expensive because it's hard to find, you have to move a BUNCH of dirt. Remove the things that slow you down, while increasing / maintaining recovery rates, and you'll find more gold. It's a simple formula."  Doc.  

  1. A large / high production unit capable of of taking ANY level of feed rates via human feeding. (Non-mechanical) The operator can feed one 5 gallon bucket per 10 seconds. Based on a bucket weighing 50 pounds, that is 9 TONS of material an hour or 18,000 pounds. (Warning: we suggest you don't try this level due to health concerns. This machine is also nicknamed the "widow maker".)  Commercial ops can build a feeding tray for a small excavator or front loader. 
    (Note: Most people, regular prospectors, simply shovel feed the unit at a fast rate. It's just nice to know you don't have to slow down.)
  2. Make the header box a "no touch / worry free" box.  Nothing slows you down more than having to constantly reach in the header box and clear rocks out. This unit runs free and clear 98% of the time.
  3. No classifying....... NONE. Pour rocks and boulders into the box. Rocks up to 8" have been fed into the box without any issues. However, we don't recommend you dump BOULDERS in. After all, everything can break, even metal.
  4. Quickly turn "dirt" / material into a fluidized slurry and wash rocks at a reasonable level without the use of a trommel. The new "destruction chamber" pulverizes dirt as it's poured in. This washes rocks and turns every bit of dirt into a rich and smooth slurry to be worked by the sluice. It's an amazing site to watch.   
  5. Solve the WATER PUMP issue.  Often your water pump is a big part of the your investment. Doc chose a cheap 2" semi trash pump. It can be ordered through several retail outlets and runs about $250. It includes many of the accessories needed as well. See it here: Water Pump
    Also, if using this unit in remote areas, the operator can buy 2 of these and always have a backup.
    Want a higher quality pump? You can get something like this.. HONDA or this one KOHLER
  6. Create a variety of capture zones, surfaces, and holding areas. This is done using ALL 4 of our matting surfaces in different configurations. Your slurry / gold is exposed to MANY different opportunities of capture. If it doesn't like one zone, it will get caught on the next.
  7. While it is BIG... make it portable. Each of the Monster Hog's sections is slightly larger than the next. This means that the header box will "nest" into the lower tray. That tray into the next, etc. This allows the unit to become a VERY portable unit. The entire system, including the pump, will fit into a passenger car trunk. (Not just a truck bed.) This also allows the unit to be SHIPPED ahead if traveling to a remote location. (IE: Alaska via USPS.) The unit can be set up in about 30 minutes. Often quicker once you practice.
  8. Easy clean up. Loosen two screws and remove the holding bar. Slide mat down and roll up. Put mat in tub of water. Reverse roll the mat and rinse. Reverse roll the other way, rinse. Re-install the mat. A 10 minute cleanup. Start running again.
  9. Dredge conversion. One of the only units that can take a 4" dredge set up. While we currently do not offer any of these adaptations / parts, they can be acquired from many retailers.

Extensive Testing...
For months Doc has tested and tested and tested this unit. He has revised the design more than 35 times with improvements. Some of the final tests were done within heavy clay laden areas.
On one of the final runs....more than 40,000 pieces of gold were added to one ton of dirt. (Most was in the -50 to -100 range) This was run in about 25 minutes. 100% of the tailings were collected. Screened to 1/8" and run through the Gold Cube. In all.... both by weight and piece count, the unit performed over 99%. 

*Money Back Guarantee
Valid for 30 days from purchase date. 98% based on total gold recovery weight of combined sizes of gold. This means what is caught in the mats / sluice vs. what is lost off the exiting end. (Loss rate.)  Based on a feed rate of up to 8 tons per hour, and at least 3 grams of recovered gold in the mats / sluice. Does not cover shipping cost to you, or the cost to return the unit. Valid in the US lower 48 only.
