[QUOTE="zedman, post: 676083, member: 18811"] Ok, here's where i'm confused about highbankers. The various state rules (mostly) allow them if not used with powered water pumps. You have to manually feed the water to them somehow - which means lots of carrying water buckets. Clearly not optimal. But many Aussie "gold fossicking" YouTube videos, from all states, show them being used and with pumped water - even videos suggested in these forums. Are they just being naughty, or is there a way around the rules that I've missed? Actually, come to think of it - maybe a work around is to pump (or siphon) the creek/river water to a water tank of some sort - one of those pallet sized tanks maybe - then use that water to run the highbanker. You're not running it from the creek directly but from a separate water source. I know, dodgy, but would that work - technically and legally? [/QUOTE]
