Well here is the first of my high-banker designs............this one is designed to be light and easy to set up but will run as much gravel as other
high-bankers........plus it will scrub or boil clays apart and the rocks will come out shinny and clean.......I'll put up A video link soon.....

Wow...looks very professional. Nice job and nice design. Just wondering how you get rid of the larger material out of the top of the box where the spray bars
are? with your hands? Or do you pull material up to that flat deck which has the grizzly bars attached to it? Will be neat to see your video of it running.
Sure does look promising.

Thanks.....guy's an gal's........fun to build........Tanya - the idea of this highbanker was to make it as light as I could with out loosing the
volume.......you put A couple shovel's full in the hopper with spray bars and let the boiling action do it's job and then you use your hand and pull
the larger rocks over the grizzly on top of the lid or tray......look for them nuggets and so on..........This is my first design......I have some more
highbankers that I'll be putting up later......they will be larger and of coarse heavier as well and I'll be maken another set up that 2 people will be
able to giver with......and so on and so on........have so many things to come......you'll just have to wait and see what I have coming up......should be
intresting.
May the fever be with you. |

how much?
 looks good
what size is the pvc pipe? would spray bars like mavin work(slices instead of holes) and have a bar at the end of the grizzly to spray down also work? and clean outs for the pipe? when you say boil what do you mean? like agitate? Are you planning on selling them? do you have plans for sale? Ryan

The spray bars will do good but if A guy wants something different that's O.K. as well........you'll see the action better with A video - so I'll
have to do one soon................maybe you guy's could let me know how much is to much........I have A price in mind and from what others want for their
stuff on the inter-net - I think I'm in the ball park.................here's A picture of the spray bars running..

WOW... watching the YouTube video now (subscribed to you)...looks awesome... quick correction to your vid though... "anything 1/4 or larger, a guy OR GAL
would swipe it up here onto the tray for inspection"..hahah just playin with ya. : o )---- Do you have a video of it in action, showing it catch stuff?
How much are you going to be selling them for and when are you ready for orders, Paypal? So those can be used on all rivers provided you are discharging into
your own settling pond correct? I'm still new to all these regs.
Thanks Jennifer

I'm curious... again about regs... looking at this vid http://www.youtube.com/wa...SrquowZ8&feature=channel are you just quite aways away
from the river or did you dig a big hole for your water to go into? I wish someone would offer like a $99.00 intro to panning/prospecting class where they went
over the regs etc.. they'd make a fortune.
I just bought some claims up on the Bridge/Yalakom and would love to do this but still am confused as to how I can do this without getting DFO'd... someone told me as long as the water goes into it's own hole but man, with the amount of water that pump of yours is moving, how big of a hole do I have to have..sheesh... : o ) Is it more that it can not run DIRECTLY back into the river? If I bought one of your units and the output of the water was just going onto the ground and soaking in, is that legal? Thanks and great videos. Jen

The reg's = oh the pain..
 .......you have to be 10 M back of the
high-water mark to be safe.........the best thing is to pick out A spot that you think is good and dig out A pond and if it holds water - fill it up and
recirculate the water in the pond.......if water drops quickly in the pond make sure it's not going through the gravel back into the creek and staining the
water with silt......you'll have to fill the hole A few times A day but it should start holding water longer after a-while.............I will be selling
these an others high-bankers soon.......starting out small and see where it goes........put out to much now to chicken out... ........I hate math but with the rough cost and time.......I think $700.00 even
- including taxes.........let me know what you guy's think.......honest opinions - no K-day shoppers..

Is a "K-Day shopper" similar to a "K-Tel shopper"? Price seems very fair, what pump would you recommend to use with that unit and where
would I get it? I think I'm in, I have to talk to my Mentor to see what he thinks about it's use on my claims (as I bought some of them from him) but
maybe we'll be buying two. (looking over at my Mentor)...grin Jen

Boo is right. You need the settling pond. No getting around that. So go sample the creek. Find some good gold showing and thendig a big hold. Remember once
you get that hole dug now you can fly at er. Many people are generaly too lazy to dig a hole. They don't know what they are missing out on. Highbanking is
incredibly fun.

Oh and boo those spray bars are oh so awsome! That is what I am looking for. If you had one where you didn't have to scoop out the rocks by hand I'd be
interested. They are super well built and nice looking. You can put those babies for sale any day on my website.
