Sometimes also called a power sluice, a highbanker is a very flexible piece of equipment when you're gold mining in areas with a good amount of water. This highbanker setup, which is made in the USA, includes everything you need EXCEPT FOR A PUMP and foot valve. For use as a highbanker the manufacturer recommends a 3,600-6,000 GPH (60 - 100 GPM) 1.5" pump. If using the unit as a dredge a higher pressure pump is recommended, and additional parts and adapters are required that are not included in the kit. Sluice with Stand: 10" wide x 48" long x 3" high is made out of strong .080 gauge 5052 aircraft aluminum, which is light weight, plus aluminum makes it easier to use a magnet to remove the black sand build up. Aluminum riffle cage and box will stand up to many years of use! The unique elongated 45 degree z-riffles are great for trapping gold. In the bottom of the sluice is 12 inches of black matting for fast gold ID, followed by 36 inches of miner's carpet. Expanded metal riffles helps keeps the gold in the box and prevents the rocks from knocking it loose. Sluice stand has 18" high legs. Hopper Dredge Box: Aluminum hopper box is 14" x 14" x 10" deep and has a 2" dredge inlet, a spray bar with built-in adjustable water flow and pressure port controls. The Grizzly Bars are spaced approximately 1" apart to help screen off larger rocks and oversized material. For best efficiency, we recommend classifying material to approximately 1/4" to 1/2" max before running it through the highbanker. Material up to around 3/4" may be processed, but larger material will generally run slower. When working with finer gold, more consistent classification, slower feeding, and controlled water flow can help improve recovery. Hoses and Adapters: 6 feet of clean up hose with valve, 25 feet of 1.5" layflat house, 8 feet of intake hose. Also includes 1.5" female pin lugs, 1.5" x 1" bushing, 1.5" adapter, and 4 hose clamps. This Kit provides everything you need (except the pump) to get you out there prospecting!
