Jet intake on gold hog raptor? 196 3
Started by jasewebbWA
Hello fellow prospectors! I’m only on year 2 in GPAA, and this is post 1 for me!

My question is: has anyone tried using a jet intake/flare on one of these machines If so, do you like the results May your pans resemble the yellow brick road! Jase

Cape Disappointment/Long Beach in Washington State
This last weekend (March 18 and 19), after the Puyallup, Washington Gold Show, I made a trip to Long Beach with my 3 stack Gold Cube. I had talked to someone in the Southwest Gold Prospectors (GPAA) club in Vancouver, WA to try to find where to go on Long Beach that I could drive onto the beach with my equipment.
I found a site that I could use fresh water to run the Cube and ran 7 buckets of black sand through the Cube, then cle...

Gold Buddy Power Hibanker - Anyone own one??? 33108 12
Started by pixrob
Hello all!
I have been looking at a Gold Buddy Power Hibanker and really can't find many reviews on it from current owners. They sure don't have the videos out on YouTube like Gold Hog does.
I'm looking at model 7820.
Does anyone have any experience with this model or similar
Many thanks,

Started by car46999
Hello all,
I have made a few different spray bars for my Keene 173 (my hopper came without spray bars) and wanted to know what everyone else has found to work well for them.
I have tried three different hole patterns (pictured below), all have 3/16' holes.
Am I on track Smaller or larger holes More or less holes
My pump is a Honda WX15, and have only used the high banker here in Alabama.

My wife will not let me buy a super Hogg High banker, but she didn't question it when I ordered two sheets of aluminum. I am a seasoned metal fabricator and have all the equipment to build one, but I am lacking some details on the header box like dimensions and how the reverse riffle works on the first sluice. How long is the drop down Zone and how long is the opening under the grizzly bars. This is all new to me I just joined GPAA and started prospecting a couple months ago and have decid...

Best utility tub made? 4524 2
Started by live2hunt
I'll be working my recirculating highbanker this year and have been wondering if there is one utility tub/tote made tougher than the rest
I'd need it to not only hold water ( of course), but to store the buckets, sump pump, screens and such and be durable enough for some tough hauling into and out of gold producing ground.

Advice on using the GMS (Cal Sluice) high banker? 9187 4
Started by voodoo
As above, thanks.
Please feel free to chime in. I already run a Keene 2.5 combo unit and am looking for a much lighter unit for carrying far afield. I think that the GMS unit is nearly perfect.
I am looking for real world experience (not a youboob video) from our members.
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING THE GREAT GROUP OF LIKE MINDED INDIVIDUALS WITH A PIONEERING SPIRIT THAT YOU ARE!

Grizzly bars, expanded metal or punch plate? 20834 10
Started by Fishroper828
I want to spending the winter building a high banker hopper that I can attach to my Keene A52 and I was hoping some of you would weigh in on you own preferences as to which you prefer. I know they each have pros and cons, but having limited funds for the project and no welder I was hoping for ideas and suggestions so I can move forward with confidence and not waste money on an idea I may have that won't work.

Water Jet Nozzles for the hopper??? 12609 8
Started by joebob
Hi, I built a river sluse that converts to a high banker, It will have 8ft of gold hog mats and a hopper from South yuba. The hopper will have 1'1\2 pvc shooting from 3 sides and I was wondering what works best for a pressure nozzles for this application. What I have found so far is pressure washer nozzles but will these have enough volume for the flow in the sluse I was trying to get a fanning nozzles to wash more area than just drilling holes. Any ideas thanks for your input.
