Bazooka Gold Trap - Crazy mod... Or is it?

[Fossil4Life]

As I was browsing through YouTube videos about Bazooka Gold Traps, I came across the following video of a modded BGT turned into a portable highbanker. I thought the idea was so neat, I wanted to share it, and see if anyone else has tried it or is interested in doing it as well.

Enjoy!

Water... Give me WATER... LoL

Everyone wants a BGT Highbanker I made my own out of a storage container but my pump sucks (or doesnt depending on how you look at it haha)
1000 gph pump just won't do it. Check out this video. I think I'm gonna need 6k + per hour to have it run as fast as I want.

Yeah, the Bazooka feeds on Water like a sun parched desert soaks up the rain.

Wonder what size pump that is they use… Looks to me like it still needs more water though to get those rocks up n over the grizzly.

Good Question
I use a 6 1/2 HP, 108 GPM (6,480GPH) pump on mine. A bit of overkill but I control the flow both with engine speed and ball valves.

GG~

Kits and modifications are all good but what he needs to do is design and build a few models of dedicated Bazooka highbankers (from the mold to the bench to the creek) The demand is certainly there.

From the looks of it, it doesn't appear to be too difficult to make your own adapter to fit on the end of the BGT in order to push water through with a pump. In fact, it should be relatively simple, maybe a few tweaks and a modification of existing pump systems that are used for regular sluices.
