Here is the latest addition to my collection. I purchased a Bazooka about a month ago and wanted to make a high-banker for it. One of the areas that i work has a little stream that wont come close to running the Bazooka so i thought id give this a try. I "borrowed" ideas from several other styles and came up with this.

I like it. It has that great" I used whatever I had around" look. That's how I build too.
I expanded my original 2 tub design to 70 gal- 3 tub wash plant.
I have a spare empty tub to transfer the water to, to clean the sediments out of each tub to reuse the water.
I washed 3 buckets of classified desert dirt of my last dig 2x each and one more time just to double check.
So that was 9 buckets washed with the same water and the sediment was removed after 6 buckets washed.
the last 3 found about 6 pieces more of flour gold and the tubs trapped about 1" more sediment too.
All in All a good working test.
Can't wait to field test it in the desert.

Now how to bring 100 gal of water in my coach.
That was awesome, now I have a new hobby, hunting invisible crow... but not eating it.
