This is just another happy customer with an A52S and Minimax conversation We gave him a scrap piece of miracle matting and he made his own sluice box.
Dear Pat and Mark,
Wanted to finally email y’all and let y’all know that I’ve had a few amazing trips with my A52S with the Mini Max conversion kit and hope to have a lot more! It works great at recovering the small gold I find here in Ohio! And once it’s dialed in you can really move a lot of material through it quickly. I’m going to enclose some photos of my most recent trip to an undisclosed private property that I acquired permission to do some gold mining on. This place has more gold than any other location I’ve been to. The second trip photos are from just three buckets of classified material. I know I don’t have to classify but this location has a lot of clay false bedrock and it’s easier to break up in a classifier. Oh which brings to mind do you have any ideas for how to clean the surface of a clay layer above and below water level? Currently I’m just shoveling everything up that I can and classifying it and then using a hand dredge to suck up anything I might’ve missed. Any advice is much appreciated. A small dredge is starting to sound like a good investment for that reason and because I can move more material with it 🤔😁. Also thank you so much for the crevice trowel I use it all the time and thank you for the small strip of Miracle Mat as I used it like I said I would to make a small stream sluice for my nephew. There’s photos of that too. He hasn’t got to go with me yet to use it as it’s been a little too hot for him lately. He was shocked and all smiles when I gave it to him, I’ll send photos once he gets to use it. Thank you guys so much. If I remember correctly your Yuba River trip is coming up I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a record trip this year.

Here’s what I recovered in Ohio with my A52s with the Mini Max conversion kit. My best trip yet in Ohio.
Hey y’all!!!!!
In the previous post we showed a A52S that was covered into a dredge and I could not determine what screen set up he had. He took a piece of 1/8th woven wire to from the back of the jet flare to the a52S original screen and I guess it worked great. I have more questions for mike and I am waiting for some feedback. To be honest I would have told you it would not work before however the way he laid it our worked well. We all learn something new every day!!!
This is another customer modifying our A52S into a home made dredge this looks ok to me I believe he is making up a few things on his own. The fact is he found some good gold in a short time with the dredge.

The fact is he found some good gold in a short time with the dredge. d his bro. in law also had pans of about the same amount. We ended up finding roughly a little over 1/8 of an ounce in just that short time. The last picture is me with everything but the motor on my Pap's old frame pack that I modified slightly to accept the dredge. I'm going to try and get back down again for a few more days in August. Let me know what you think. Not bad for what I'm used to finding here. All glacial gold here, and we find a good bit of that too, just small stuff though... Mike.
This is an email from another prospector I received today. Pat, I have been running my A52 with the minimax highbanker attachment for a couple months now and I wanted to send you a few pics and some results. After lots of field use and some testing at home, I have a 97% capture rate with 8 mesh all the way to 200 mesh minus and I'm finding 95% in the first carpet and the rest in the miracle mat. I have yet to find any gold in the last carpet.
I'm including some pics as I ran it as a high banker, I'll include pics as the A52S after my next few outings. I removed the indicator mat from the flair and replaced it with a silicone mat that I made using the original indicator mat as a mold. The only mod I made to the highbanker set up was a T and ball valve I added and stepped down to 3/8 with 6 foot of hose to help with cleanouts. I placed it just before the ball valve to control the water flow to the hopper. I'll send pics of the two modifications with the next email.
Thank you to you and Mark for taking the time to explain your equipment in terms a greenhorn can understand and selling me exactly what I needed. Your willingness to put customer satisfaction above your bottom line and taking your time to set me up for success has made me a Keene Engineering customer for life. Great products, excellent price, phenomenal customer service, and an outstanding company.

Love my mini max! Just ordered the dredge attachment and am very excited to try that out! Thank you for making a versatile rig for all the mining conditions I can encounter out here in Ga!
Does the A52 river sluice convert to this?
