Hey Harold....
My name here is Klondike Ike.... I am a commercial gold miner and have been for many years with 30 plus years of prospecting experience.... I knew Tom and Perry of the GPAA back when they were in diapers.... I also Knew George too...
Keene Mining Mining supply sells a "Highbanker" a very versatile prospecting tool...and is your basic "Power Sluice"... some models can used as a straight sluice, or small dredge and some set up "HIGH" on the bank to hand shovel your gold bearing material into its hopper, with water being delivered by a pump from the creek...
Unlike Hydraulic mining which requires a pump (or water under extreme pressure) and pipe and a water cannon to tear down a mountain side...
I have used all versions of these tools... today, I used a 100 ton an hour plant fed by loaders and excavators...
By the way... Hydraulick mining is usually outlawed in most US states...however, under certain conditions, on state controlled land, you can still hydraulic mine in Alaska...where I have mined and still have claims...
I'm glad you found your plans for your highbanker.... and I am very sorry you were met with such confrontational conversation on this site..Please check back in with us as there is a lot of very good helpful people here willing to offer you assistance...which is the common thread for this site....and is what makes this site so successful...
Good luck in you prospecting and highbanker project...
Please lets know how it turned out...take lots of pictures...
