I copied a high banker off of youtube. I was lucky I work where I have access to a break and shear. The boss knows how much I make, so he let me have the aluminum out of the recyclables bin. I used a burlap sack for my test run. Now I just have to add the pump and spray bar so it will recirculate. Notice the small buckets.
I'm not 25 anymore, so I've opted for less weight, and more trips. It's light, and portable. My partner said he wants a "big boy" bucket...lol.
The date on the pic's is wrong, borrowed the camera.

Looks awesome! Congrats!
You'll be the one laughing when the "big boy bucket" commenter complains of a aching back!

Thanks Msbeepbeep. The project helps with the cabin fever. Sort of like metal detecting snow banks...lol...if you know what I mean.
Working on a hand gold sucker dredge sort of thing, sort of like a miners turkey baster. I'll post some pic's when I'm done.

Aaaaawww, my first high banker sucks!! 135 views, and only 1 post. That is the forums nice way of saying, "you suck Wishbone"...lol.
I can't believe it, I lost out to the Grade 7 lava mountain, and the 2nd place potato gun.
Well FINE! When I have dump trucks full of gold (should only take 1 summer right?), I'm only going to share it with Msbeepbeep and not you guys.
Her comment said "looks awesome" even though her mind was probably saying, "I pity the poor fool". She realises that there is such a thing as a good lie.
So when we are basking under the Maui sun, remember, you had your chance...(diabolical laughter).

And PS. It's not for sale!

Hey Wishbone, I would say your opinion of little notice on your post and pics may just be the opposite of what you think. Personally I thought is all looked darn good and I just read the post. May be everyone else is like.... this guy knows what he's doing and their wishing their diy stuff was as good or even maybe wondering why they spent soooo much cash on somebody else's design that probably won't catch anymore gold than yours will. Showem the pics when to bring home the yeller stuff, they might have something to say then my friend.
