	"The Mobile Prospector" Work smart, not hard. « on: March 20, 2011, 12:17:37 am »

Here is a place to share ideas on making prospecting more organized, simplified and convenient.
This is not an original idea, but is my own version of a mobile high banker. Made from mostly found items and a few bucks here & there for some hardware. In all, it cost less than $150 to build with the exception of the pump. My current project is a 4 wheeled wagon dolly for the pump. It will be built using 2 old electric razor scooter frames and wheels.(the pneumatic type). I'll post pics of it when I get it done, probably in the next few days.
I urge all members to share their ideas for making life a bit easier and taking some of the hard work out of the fun of prospecting.
This should be a fun thread, cause' I can always use some new ideas and I'm sure you all can too.

Around here is Sluice, Pan or Dry Washers. Cool

Hey there HF I gladly trade you some water for some dry if I could. Screw this global warming crap it's cold and wet here and the sat. pics. show tons more of waiting out there in the pacific to circle in and make life miserable on the OR coast.

Up the revolution,

Looks good Doc! I like it. Great

I just keep thinking how that rain is bringing down more glittery stuff Gramps

It's been a wet year here in Idaho, I can only imagine the Oregon Coast. Miss those beaches though.

I agree that if there is any gold around here the rain will bring it downbut it would sure be nice to get out and find some of that new gold. We get an avg. of 87" a yr. but I think we are going to blow the avg. away this year. I got plenty of rivers & streams to check out but the rain has to stop so they can go down to reasonable level.

Well, I finished the pump & gear wagon. Here's the conglomeration. Looks weird, but it'll get my pump & gear to the creek easier. Crazy

My son also gave the high banker a name. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. My kid has a creative mind to say the least. Grin
