Ok as the title says looking for some info from any members running a gold cube .
What size bilge pump are you running on the cube and if you have one the high banker top or trommel top?
Do larger bits of gold stay in the under flow section of the tray?
I have ordered the 4 tray and stand then will be getting the high banker top then looking at the trommel top down the track and was hoping to
Get a start on getting a few things together before it arrives .
Thanks for any help .
Cheers

Good luck with it Skip, they look like a decent bit of kit.
Cant give you much help on the setup, but would love to see it in action.

G'day Gents
Just received my Gold Cube and trommel which I am hoping to put to good use very shortly.
I am looking at hitting the goldfields of Vic within the next few weeks.
Will keep you up to date with how the Gold Cube and trommel perform.
Cheers

I'll be interested how the trommel goes as I have the high banker top for my gold cube . Still haven't put a single shovel through mine yet went to Sofala but with all the rain the creek was up . I also gave the vortex a good scrub with some dish washing liquid and water to get the oil of the mat and gold cube itself made it easier to get the air bubbles out of the vortex .
cheers

What size screen did you get? I always thought that it was more of a clean up sluice. Correct me if I'm wrong. I have seen the vids of the trommel and they look great, but I never thought it was like a highbanker. Shovel hard kinda thing

The Goldcube is great, however.......
You do need to classify your material before you run it through the Goldcube!!
I would use the 1/8th screen to classify it then should be good to run through Goldcube.
I wouldn't recommend using it as a highbanker substitute!

The high banker top has the same size screen as the trommel top with 3 drop riffles in the header slick plate before it drops the rest of the material into the gold cube .
I got this setup to replace an Angus mackirk highbanker and to run cons from the dry blower would I reconmend it as a highbanker , sure would ,no need to classify with either the trommel top or the highbanker top . But if just using the gold cube you need to classify .
