[QUOTE="ozziii, post: 227339, member: 3482"] Thanks very much, some things to think about there. AR, yes the top hopper section will be slightly narrower so it fits right down inside the sluice section & hinged, good idea about the sliding extensions, would be well worth doing id it could be made to work well & easily. I have to use a trolley as my back is a bit buggered from an injury 20+ yrs ago & slowly degrading as well as really bad feet/ankle so the less weight to carry the better. The main size & shape of the highbanker/sluice is pretty much like any other, but just trying to make a few changes from the norm to make it more user friendly, having clamp type fittings & tool less set up would be a good bonus as well so will have to look into some stuff like that as well. Tathradj, I'll be sure to check your design out, folding legs would be much better & something I had thought about, just wasn't sure on the best way to go about it. Matting & riffles etc are something else I was trying to work out, seems alot of different ideas out there so just a matter of trying a few out using expanded mesh, riffles & different matting styles underneath to see how it goes. Going to try a few things on the little Sluicy highbanker we have to work out what will be best. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
