I process my gold lines where they are and have never had a ranger say I couldn't do that ( Vic) but they do get grumpy with people testing layers in the banks ? As they should ! So until instructed first hand I will do as I've always done , remember take the water to the dirt it's a lot easier.
bend said:7 - i try to keep it so the banker can be held one handed always, even when assembled but struggle at times with this. They are roughly the same weight as a walbanker and the option to carry it on your back is useful as well so keep that in mind. Ive thought of a transforming wheelburrow / sluice with a wheel or multiple wheels as well.
I've recently mounted my banker to a modified golf bag cart. Folds down to fit fit in the boot and some holes in the mounting for the handle provide the majority of height adjustment. does need stronger wheels or at least new tyres though. Done this way you can strap smaller pumps, layflat, picks etc. to the unit for hiking in.I'll try and remember to take some pics in the next couple of days.
modifications to the cart were pretty minimal, a few holes for height adjustment and a couple of pieces of angle iron to bolt the banker on.
AtomRat said:Ok..ive got a question while where sort of on pumps. Sometimes ive seen at the inlet the water supply can tend to swirl and make a vortex down to the inlet. Even if its well under the water and deep. Is this eddy currents causing it say if were in a creek?
If the water IS low and you have this problem, whats the best solution? Im guessing a guard over the top side of the mesh?
