[QUOTE="Twapster, post: 123221, member: 1582"] Hadn't looked at these posts for a bit, my 2 cents worth we all know there are numerous bankers out there....yes I am a fan of the Walbanker but certainly not a blind supporter. I don't own one but seen them in use, and built mine with most of Wals principles in mind AFTER i'd read up on sluicing theories / riffle types / water flow effects etc and certainly the 100 odd pages got way too technical for a light read. My observations is that the Walbanker uses the Keep it Simple approach and seeing one person being able to gear up with everything including pump and trek deep into areas others would never be able to lug their gear into, is the aspect that makes me a raving fan. Irrespective of everything else if you can get to the less travelled spots, chances are there will be more gold there. If you want a technically superior gold catcher then i'm sure there's enough theories out there to debate for years, but for simple, large capacity portable highbanking, I ain't seen anything better yet which can catch gems too. Hope that's not considered a viral sploog folks. [/QUOTE]
