Started by opalboy42@yahoo.com
I got a new Gold Fox trommel, and was dying to try it out. We came down the Mtn to warm up and get some gold! The trommel worked phenomenal! My wife name it Sir Eatsalot! I was amazed at the small gold that it could catch. Panned the tailings and found nothing. Fun time!

Does Anyone own A super Hog that can give me some dimensions? 7690 6
Started by Rawdoggoffroad1@aol.com
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...

Started by dsevernsgrant@gmail.com
Good morning, We have a Keene A52 converted into a high banker with a Keene hopper, our pump is an Honda GX120 with a Keene pump.

Hey guys, I recently bought a Keene Mini Max and want to pack it into some remote areas on a backpack. The highbanker has a 12v battery operated pump so I wanted to ask those with experience what they would recommend using to power the highbanker I saw online that amps makes a big different in how long you can run for. But typically the more amps the more weight you will be lugging around. Ultimately I would like to run the highbanker for 5-6 hours a day for a whole week. But sinc...

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...
