Hmmm The lack of responses is quite a response.

I guess it's back to looking at Keene & Gold Hog....

Have you seen one live? Or gotten a chance to use it yourself? If you buying one from a store,even if online but they also may have a real store front. Call them see if they put you in touch with someone who bought one. In the 2 years I have been doing this, I have noticed that the store owners are just like the rest of us miners, goid people.

Rob,

I bought a Keene 2.5" combo from Tammy and Tony at Crissons in Dahlonega. I love the machine and have only used it as a highbanker so far. If you can wait a bit, there may be a demo day coming up at a local LDMA camp with Au Porcine products...

Golden Days...and the Golden Rule.

I have a Gold Buddy with 2" dredge i love it works very well i'm pleased, used it for almost 3 weeks at vein Mountain. A friend of mine also uses a gold buddy 2" dredge no highbanker he loves it also catching gold with no problems, what do you want to know about it?

Thank you for the help!!

I saw a Gold Hog Raptor Flare work this past weekend at Alabama Gold Camp. (We had miserable results...but that's another story). The Raptor was smaller than I had thought.

I like the price tag on the Gold Buddy models - probably half of Keene & Gold Hog. Thank you for the positive feedback.

William - if you had it to do over again, would you buy the same model?

Rob

Rob,

I recently purchased a Mini-Highbanker from  Gold Hog.  They had excellent service and shipped it really quickly after I told them that I was rushed for time as friends from Florida were coming to town for a prospecting outing.  Sadly, we got rained out and I got the flu as well.  Anyway, I haven't fired it up yet in the field, only a brief test run with a pair of 12v bilge pumps in a recirculating tub in my yard.  But it looks real nice and the reviews are good, and I can personally say that I received great customer service from Gold Hog.

Cheers,

Rick

Did you or did you not buy the claims you are talking about.Buying on E bay is not smart.

Rob:  did you ever get your High banker 7820? I have ordered one and waiting for delivery. Is it everything you was hoping for,any info would be  welcomed Thanks Ray G

I just bought one 2" combo. I am wondering about angle and motor speed (hi, lo, etc.). I haven't used it yet and would like to shorten the learning curve.
