[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 1791, member: 147"] Hi Nugget .....have been building hi bankers since selling my dredges when they became illegal. They are simple to build and if made correctly will leave a bought one for dead. Most bought ones still rely on the old lazy "L" riffle arrangement with a carpet base. There is far superior trapping methods available especially when it comes to the finer gold. If you check our You Tube vid " Gold - hi banking at Tuena Creek -The Log Jam".....It shows one of our hi bankers in detail....this loses absolutely zero in gold. Cost wise... you can build one for less than 1/4 the price of a bought one. I don't recommend using a bilge pump and deep cycle battery. You're far better off with a small 4 stroke petrol motor as this will let you work for an unlimited time....especially if your spending a weekend. I'm more than happy to draw up a plan of the one i use if you want it for any comparisons. The same configuration can be used to make a smaller version......Cheers Wal. [/QUOTE]
