Anyone know this guy?! Pretty crazy seeing my gear on a USA Today news article! However it looks like he might need some replacement parts and doesn't know my warranty policy. If you know who he is please send him my way!

DID YOU KNOW? Not all plastics are the same! We use ONLY the highest quality, high impact and temperature resistant materials we can get. This means NO DISCLAIMERS NECESSARY on our gear and it also allows us to have a bullet proof warranty policy to keep all of our amazing customers finding maximum gold!

Leave it in your truck in the summer! Leave it in the desert heat or under a pile of snow, anything goes! If you ever run into an issue you can always trust that we will do the right thing and take it as a learning opportunity and not publicly blame you for a poorly made product!

At the California factory getting the first parts for the Gen 5 Gold Trek Highbankers! A culmination of many hundreds of hours of work, design, testing, and feedback just for this moment. Can't wait to start building and shipping!

Well, I thought I might have a nice relaxing Christmas break but apparently there were other plans! This is less than half of the orders that came in while I was away and I'm very nearly sold out of everything until my new production is complete in a week or two. 2025 was an amazing year and 2026 is shaping up to be even better. Thank you everyone for all your support and encouragement, I couldn't have gotten this far without you!

Update video for the Gold Trek CLAY CLAW!!! Which is now available at: https://cruxprospecting.com/gold-trek-clay-claw/
Quite long I know but I wanted to share some of the development process and how it works. What do you think?

Alright, UPDATE TIME!!! The shipping/tariff situation is MOSTLY under control now and things are starting to stabilize. I will be updating the shipping rates on the website to be as fair and reasonable as possible.

Meanwhile, Gold prices have gone absolutely insane and it's now only about FOUR GRAMS of gold to cover the cost of a Gen 4 Pro system. I've talked to several people recently who are doing that in a single trip. If you aren't thinking about your prospecting equipment as an investment you're doing it wrong!

If you live in the US and you're interested in a Gold Trek Highbanker, you might have noticed that my shipping rates have gone completely off the rails recently. My hope is that this is TEMPORARY while we figure things out with Tariff situation and removal of the "deminimis" exemption that previously allowed us to offer free shipping.

In the meantime, my good buddy Dan over at Prospector's Treasure Trove has several Gold Trek Pro systems in stock at his shop near Portland, Oregon. There's still plenty of season left so I highly recommend taking advantage of the cheaper option while he has them!
