[QUOTE="shivan, post: 16508, member: 194"] Nothing wrong with being sceptical, I admit I was until I saw the mats in action myself. I would not say the mats work better or worse than conventional riffles and matting. The thing that attracted us was that the mats have gold retention comparable to most other units I have seen with a considerable amount less consentrates at the end of the day, but they are not everyones cup of tea. Appart from matting/riffles you will find most highbankers (regardless of maker) are similar with the only real differences seen are in classiflcation and water delivery, As most highbankers will have a top hopper and sluice on legs. Most of the highbankers I have seen for sale in the Aussie prospecting shops have seemed decent but have not seen any in action yet. The only other commercial highbankers I have seen in action are: Miners den two tiered power sluice: Not bad and does work but I did not like the manifold water delivery so we put spray bars on, also did not like the carpet it used as matting(hard to clean). Keen highbanker(unsure model): Also seemed to work well, again not keen on the carpet used as matting. boilerbox(unsure model): Worked really well, my only problem from memory was it was a bit short for me.
