[QUOTE="MikeB05, post: 244908, member: 7270"] I am a brand 'newbie; to all this, so am seeking some advice and wisdom from experienced prospectors. I am considering buying an aluminium (for weight) sluice that I can use in a creek or river....any suggestions on brand/type/size etc . I would prefer to "buy Australian". Primary objective is gold capture rather than gemstones. Second objective is to process more volume of ore than I can currently do just by panning. My thought was to then fabricate the bits I need to add-on to the sluice to convert this to a moderate sized "highbanker". The sluice/highbanker needs to be one that I can use in QLD where fossicking laws require that I use hand operated equipment only...so would be looking at some kind of handle operated bilge pump- if I can get one that will pump sufficient water flow. Need to keep the overall load dimensions and weight light and compact but workable...so that I can drag all this around in my caravan when I do my grey nomad wanderings. All advice is welcome and appreciated in advance. thank you :) [/QUOTE]
