While in the wait to find someone with a brake to make 4 bends for me, I found a rota pan (2nd hand) for sale. I purchased it and got out to the river for a few hours on November 2nd and ended up with 1 1/2 20 liter pails of heavy sand to work with for the winter. Also ordered in a California...

A few days after I posted this topic one of my buds had 2 sheets of 4x8x2mm aluminum in his garage and wanted 90$ for each of them. I purchased them and last Saturday while on call waiting for the bat phone to ring I managed to get the aluminum cut. I used my cordless Dewalt buzz saw with an 18...

Thank You - Hope to get a start this weekend (work permitting)

Wal - Wondering what is the best setup for gold only - no gemstones in the Canadian rivers. Would you leave the length of the highbanker as in what is shown in your photo`s ?? I found some 2mm aluminum in a friends shop that he let me have for a very good price. :)

Thanks Wal - I`ll include the 1.6 mm in my pricing tomorrow. I have priced some of the high bankers in the USA and I could get them sent to my doorstep priced better than what this business was offering. I think I will have more fun making my own brake for bending the material :)

Have been looking at these homemade blue bowl types tonight and think this is by far the simplest/easiest to make. Awesome job!

Hi - will this be an international app or strictly For Australia?

Had a bit of time to start sourcing parts today at the local big box hardware store. The guy who I questioned about matting looked at me like I had a big horn growing out of my forehead? I had to come home and check the mirror ;)

After looking thru many stores this afternoon I can see this is the way to go - thanks - great job :)

Had the bug for a while but managed to get to the river for the first time this week. (North Saskatchewan river) Have a few flakes to show for my efforts. I enjoy the time spent and look forward to getting out this weekend if it warms up. Presently 10c here at present. Found the WalnLiz high...

Fantastic - thanks for the dimensions/measurements. Looks like a good winter project for me. Will a Honda WX10 do the job for water pump?
