Just kicking an idea around about gold wheels v's highbakers
Now I think I know that a high banker will process much more paydirt in a given time than a gold wheel, but
I am 70 years old and no longer the silver back that I once was 8.( so weight becomes a major consideration)
It seems the average weight of a high banker is about 15kg's + pump another 10 kg's = fuel 4kg'z ( so somewhere around 40 kg's all up), fargetit, much to much weight for this little old black duck to lug around
Which brings us to a motorised gold wheel, fully self contained ( battery and motor ) and weighs about 15 kg.s ( I can lug that around)
If I went for the wheel and used this https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=541 for classification would it be a viable 1 person operation
cheers Keith
