Only ripped off the mud flap & marked the paint. Stopped quick smart as soon as I felt a problem.

Your Banker looks great. Local pump/irrigation place is where I got my hose hardware. Coupla dollars more expensive but you have it straight away & no postage costs. I can't remember how long my layflat is, guessing about 18M? I cut it into three lengths. Approx 10M, 5M & 3M? Join them all...

5 tyres on rims thru eBay for $400 My Cruiser had new retreads when I got it. Tuesday one of the retreads de-treaded @ 110kph :/ Shopped around & opted for a used set one bloke was selling as he wanted bigger 33" tyres. These are the common 31" The damaged one. Old tread on left, new...

Mine's got a watermanifold, not a spray bar. Could easily fit one tho. I have a small 1" petrol pump that @ half throttle supplies more than enough water. The bigger GS12 I think comes with spray bars but it's a fair bit longer so less practical to backpack into hard to get to places... I'm...

I bought a GS10 Highbanker from Sluicy Gold Equipment in Benalla on Friday. $180! Same unit (re-branded by retailer) sells for $380... It's a great banker that catches the fines well. Bigger is not always better. This thing is light, compact, sturdy & does what it's supposed to do well...

I thinks that's not right Kleinman, I spotted that today too. Never noticed it in the 2years I've had it. A chainsaw has that kind of rating... This is nothing like that sound of loudness. it's not a real noisy thing at 1/4 - 1/2 throttle. Flat out it'd be anoying tho. It'll be good to...

Old skool muffler - old skool rules. It's hot - don't touch it ;)

Modified an old muffler to quieten down my pump even more. For a 2stroke, these Mitsubishi pumps are fairly quiet as is. An other bonus to being quieter, is that the exhaust outlet is now aimed away from the pump water outlet so the noise will be aimed away from where I'll be working.

Can't seem to edit anymore... *illiminating the extra water pressure needed to straighten out any kinks in the lay flat hose.

A Length of smooth inner wall suction hose & 1 length for the pump exit & another length for the rise upto the highbanker hopper. Water pressure needing to straighten out any kinks. Better flow/pressure with less rpm/noise ;)

Got myself some new waders with neoprene boot liners. Toasty warm feet @ Eldorado :D

Great you n your girl have a hobby that you both enjoy. Good story. Thanks for sharing 20X :)

Welcome aboard. We got a group trip to Eldorado at the end of the month with several people from all over the place (inc/or passing thru Melbourne) attending if your keen to meet up with a great crew. Esp, for a noobie, it'll be a great gathering to pick the brains of others who've got more...

Nice report from your weekend. Thanks for sharing. Great to see you got gold too. I can't wait to get back to Eldorado again...

Mate of mine has an Angus MacKirk Explorer sluice & wants to swap to a GrubStake. He's happy with the Explorer but is after a smaller unit as he tends to hike into fair remote areas & creeks with very little flow. So if anyone who has a grubstake or similar small AM sluice & wants to get one...

That was about 2 years ago Kus. Can't remember how that day went but usually come home with some - not much big some. Feed rate depends on flow and how fast it's clearing the material. Just take it out n have a go - that's the best way to learn.

iPhone 5s... It does what I want to do. Simple & uploads to YouTube easily...

I think it was about that. $170 or so delivered. Local distributor didn't stock this model so it'd cost extra too because it's a special order to them. Agriculturalman I think my YouTube username is? http://youtu.be/jtqpl4AHMWQ http://youtu.be/jtqpl4AHMWQ

It was rather exciting Wal. Still trying to better it... Let my young nephew borrow the bucket sieve for a while, so I thought to try shovelling straight in & that was the result from the first load. Very hit & miss that creek but the chunky bits out weigh the fines :D Kuskus, yeah I hope...

Got mine from McMirk in 10 days ;)
