Our story

Spending decades using and watching different prospecting equipment on the market, I could never find one that would "check off all the boxes" of what I wanted. Something that was portable and light weight, to easily carry miles out into the field. Also with States adding new rules to regulate prospecting, which could void out some of the existing equipment on the market, I needed something that was very low impact on the environment as well. Something that could also achieve almost 100% efficiency in filtering out all of the gold in the material, to the point it could also be used at home as a secondary piece of equipment to filter gold concentrates from larger pay dirt processing equipment. And most importantly, as just a hobby prospector, it needed to be affordable! There is no point in spending thousands on equipment, when over its life time because of limited “use time” and/or limited gold in the area, you might only be able to get back hundreds of dollars in gold for your efforts. So I dug deep into my many years of manufacturing and engineering background to create a new piece of prospecting equipment that would "check off the boxes I needed”, and I called my creation “The Gold Box”
