[Goldkid55]

Hi everyone so just before I start a little about me My name is Shawn and I live outside of Memphis TN just moved to Memphis and looking to get into hobby mining so here is my plan as of know. I found a used High-banker I am going to buy it was made and looks to be in good shape and quality for riffles it is all gold hog matting not shore what specific mats could try to find out so here are a couple of my question is there any major risks with buying used just want to make shore im not breaking a un spoken rule or curse when it comes to hobby mining. Next is pumps Using a electric bilge really seems to draw to me but from what I have been reading it seems that i really need the power of a gas pump because I am using a high banker could you recommend one I have max about 160 to spend on a pump I have seen a few on ebay that I really like one being the earthquake one inch and another one that is 1.5 inch. Along with the pump is hose has any one used fire hose before I have a really cheap sources for it and would like to utilize it Is there any other major things I am missing in my equipment if so let me know thanks in advanced
Shawn
