[QUOTE="Beagleboy, post: 120546, member: 1151"] You could convert your sluice box to power sluice with bilge pump and small battery. It will fix your problem of very slow flow in the creek and you can still process lot more than with a pan. It should be light enough to carry long distances. The disadvantage will be that unlike with highbanker you will need to clasify the material. Put your bilge pump in a submerged bucket upstream from where you are digging and maybe wrap some shade cloth or fly screen around the pump so you don't suck in any rubbish. When you suck gravel with powered pump from the creek straight in to your sluice is dredging and unfortunately that is no longer allowed. Just use a yabby pump or your gold and sand pump. I sometimes set my sluice close to the hole I am working and pump straight in to the sluice with yabby pump without clasifying. It works well. [/QUOTE]
