Go to the Angus MacKirk website and click on highbankers and scroll down to the Excalibur. I've had one since last year. Works real good although I made a new spray bar for it. Doug.

Im working on one right now.I have a black a.b.s. no-name sluice that is sold at my local hardware store,I've only seen them there, they've been selling mining supplies since the 1850s so that might explain a little... its inside width is around eight inches by three feet long with nine angle drops and two nugget traps.The sluice starts with eight to ten inches of slick plate, wich I extended with the hopper wash area im adding making an overall length of around four feet, yet still light. I made a stand with adjustable legs its wood and metal,the next one will be all metal.I have a 1.5 inch pump due here anyday, I have two 12v that im sending back one came cracked and I could see right away they just wouldn't cut it. I got my pump for $135.00 from Harbor Freight with a coupon and FREE shipping $147 bucks after tax . Of course you wan't pics Well your gonna have to wait Its dark and i have some finishing touches.Hey to the guys who know wher do I get a foot valve?Or the parts to make one

I been toying with the idea of one, but I really like the fluidized bed high-bankers as well.

And then of course, I have a small recirculating drop riffle I use when theres not enough water to pan:



Its not quite a highbanker but good enough for sampling 4 mesh screened material. And it has caught some nice gold. I keep it in a military duffel bag with the hoses and pump and for the battery I use a portable device made for jumping a car which lasts about 6 hours of continuous running.
