Good thinking out of the box, but that won't have anywhere near enough flow to run a banker, unless it was 5cm wide.20xwater said:Goldfreak said:Is there a way to feed water to a high banker by bucket that does not cause a surge and wash all your gold out ?
massive funnel....20ltr plastic drum upside down with bottom cut out to pour into..
looking at making something like what they used to call a "banjo sluice" I think ??? if I made a long narrow hopper that can hold at least a whole 20 lt bucket or material and could dump a large amount of water over it with out worrying about surge would certainly be able to beat those little ebay high bankers with out the need for motor or battery. Perhaps a big funnel like 20x water mentioned and a zig zagged deep sided stacked set of riffles, let's say 5 pieces x 1meter x "5cm meters wide" with gradually decreasing riffle size could be effective.Occasional_panner said:Good thinking out of the box, but that won't have anywhere near enough flow to run a banker, unless it was 5cm wide.20xwater said:Goldfreak said:Is there a way to feed water to a high banker by bucket that does not cause a surge and wash all your gold out ?

GF why do you want to do that?
I wonder what it uses to control the flow ? Rubber flap ?B5MECH said:Check this one out G ....There's a Grizzly 3 out now 8) :Y:

OldGT said:I think I'm missing something here but sounds to me like panning might be the way to go...Plenty of good choices, turbo, pyramid pro, etc that will move plenty of material and unlikely to suffer losses from surges...but if you're dead set there's a few ingenious ideas out there that will do the job.

Cute isn't it. Still faster than panning though.Occasional_panner said:ballarat_gold said:Just make a rocker mate. They work great.
