I recently bought a 6-inch high banker from Gold Rat and absolutely love it. The setup is incredibly simple, making it so much easier and more efficient to get out there and start finding gold. Every time I visit the store, the customer service is top-notch—friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Honestly, they couldn’t do a better job even if they tried. Highly recommend!

Hi, Gold Rat Just wanted to note that, although we purchased the Extension with No Mat, a mat was included in our delivery. Do you need it shipped back to you? We purchased with No Mat because we want to experiment with other sluicing capture options, like riffles or miner’s moss, in series with the Dream Mat, try different orders, flow rates, angles, etc, to learn more about which mats might be letting through some gold that gets caught in the next one - it should be interesting. Regards, Stewa...

Great picks, I have used them many times over the last few years and have uncovered some nice nuggets with them. The medium-sized picks are perfect for everyday use and for carrying over rugged country while the big ones are a great size and weight for digging deep. I certainly recommend them.

The light weight battery I purchased for my Gpx 4500 makes detecting so much easier not having it attached to me, the battery Velcros on to the side of the detector and doesn't increase the weight to bad ,I still put my harness and bungee on if swinging it for a long time but easy to just unclip the bungee ,put the detector down out of the way and dig. A great improvement. Many thanks

What an absolute beast of a black light the throw area it lights up is amazing . Just make sure you take the plastic wrapper off the batteries before testing it 😄

I am yet to get out and explore with my Tiger digger. The weather hasn’t been kind lately. I have however used it in my backyard, and the foot plate gives great stability to dig a clean hole. No messy plugs for me.

This frame is perfect as the basis of a machine, or any purpose really where you need to carry items on your back, possibly even prospecting gear. Does what the photos show, would recommend highly.

Love the WM09. Normal ear phones are way too hot in summer. This little unit lets me use any wired ear buds which is great & keeps you cool whilst detecting. Cracking bit of kit.

This is a gift for my dad, for his 67th birthday, as he is going off on a gold hunting trip with my mum in the Chrissy holidays, with a bit of luck they might find something, he said he had not thought about scales, but cannot wait to use them!

Easy to set up and light weight to use. I’ve given it a go in parks and the beach. Selecting the mode is easy for sensitivity adjustments, noise cancelling and grounding. Sorry to report nothing major found as yet but I will keep you updated!

The treasure hunter pinpointer works really well, with 3 sensitivity levels, it targets the object within cm, haven't found any gold yet but if ring pulls become valuable I'll be rich.

Have not had the chance to use the sluice as yet and it will be further into the new year before I do. However, I am entirely confident that the 888 will not let me down and will give further appraisle when I 've had time to 'test the waters'.

Very happy with the purchase, I was skeptical about the water pressure of the 4700 bilge, I thought it would be far too strong but it works an absolute treat. Got 0.4 for roughly 1.5 hours work.

Very nice sluice withe 3 sizes of Dream mat in the one sluice. Should be nice and easy to carry through the dense scrub we have here in Tassie as well.

The Boss Buddy is the first sluice I’ve ever owned, and about time too. I pan mostly on Reedy creek and the Boss Buddy has made clean up so fast, it’s amazing. No more spending hours separating the gold and that horrible Reedy creek black sand one teaspoon at a time, the Boss Buddy has changed my clean up time by hours, well worth the money There was also a nice little gift of pay dirt included with my purchase, what a great way to test run the Boss Buddy, thanks heaps to the staff of Gold Rat ...

It’s a very handy little sluice. It worked well with flour gold and seemed to capture the fine stuff. It’s a handy size and cleans up very quickly. It’s a keeper for sure.

The battery is a game changer, at least it will be when I get my SD 2100 working. I’m very unfamiliar with it, as bought second hand, never really used it then got my Nox 800. Decided to bring it out of retirement but alas doesn’t appear to be working. The battery is working and I love how small and compact it is.

Great mob to deal with, shipping is on the first work day after order and communication is great. It’s not stuff easily replicated at home, if you actually want to process enough dirt to get a return. This is it👍

I only just received my metal detector and tried it out on my gold bracelet. It made a great noise so I am expecting to have some more lovely noises coming from the wand when I go prospecting. I love that it is compact Yeeha. Thank you for my wand

These sieves are quite small. Won't fit a standard bucket but more a child's beach bucket. That said, the size and various grades of sieves are great for kids and hobbiests who don't want to lug a bulky kit.

I was day 2 in isolation with pneumonia in hospital when the 2K arrived. Out of hospital now,, but it'll be a good month before I recover enough to try out the beast. Sometimes life gets in the way of good planning Not a review. It's just what happened.

The blue 6 inch dream mat is a present for my Wife. She too has been bitten bad by the gold fever. I will be fitting it to a 6 inch river sluice so she can run it on our next outing. I am hoping she gets some shiny candy with it. I personally run a 950mm long sluice using v-rib mat, minors moss and the 6 inch dream mat. It is a fantastic system that captures even the tiny flour gold. I wish you all a happy gold hunting trip

I have an old Minelab SD2200 & had not used it in 3 years due to battery failure to hold charge & believed there was no replacements? . I have just now discovered Goldrat can supply a replacement, and with an easy online order and reasonable interstate freight time, I now have a useable detector again. Thanks Goldrat team.

The replacement headphone pads are a very difficult item to fit but once they are done they are way more comfortable than the original pads , well worth the effort to fit them
