Good on you Wal.

Digger Dude was saying that the Hondas are made in China now - so are any pumps not made in China? 8)

Only a couple of times did we find gold in the mat. As there is a large amount of ironstone, we'll go ahead and change our set up to the 600 slick and reduce the crate length for use at Tuena. We've now got three set ups for our Walbanker. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your WA trip both of you.WalnLiz said:Uncle Bob said:Hi Wal,

Thanks,

Traveling to WA at the moment and will put a pic up of this particular banker as soon as I get back to Canberra. The crate is slightly shorter, and the expanded slightly longer, with a 600 slick plate, and is what i recommend for the severest regions of ironstone and magnetite.
It will process as quickly as 2 men can shovel, and is what I regard as suitable for the semi professional or serious prospector who needs to shift volume.
Cheers Wal.
Yes, we only found a few small specks in the mat. We kept saying 'hope we don't find any in the mat, we've found it in the boiler section' so that means the Walbanker is doing it's job - we've had a good learning curve and Banksy and Ryan particularly helped with level and water flow.WalnLiz said:penfooey said:Wal we used your HB at Tuena and after a bit of stuffing around, controlling the level and the water flow, we were actually seeing gold in the top section under the expanded.

Under the expanded in the boiler section is where 99% of the gold should be mate....only the flour gold gets to the crate.

Bought your Wal Banker from DetectaDen.
I have a couple of queries.
The one I bought has 45 degree aluminium mesh. You say not to use that use 90 degree walkway mesh?
Second. The gold capture area with the bread crate on top is 35cm long rather than your specified 58cm?
Is this correct or have I bought a dud? Doesnt look like a big enough area to capture all the gold as is only just over half as long.
Thanks
brocky0984 said:Thanks Wal for getting back to me so quickly.
It was just that you are so specific on the UTube video that the expanded aluminium should deffinately be the 90 degree kind rather than the 45 degree that I have in mine.
And then when I saw that the mat to capture the gold was only 35cm long rather than the 58cm in your other posts I got a bit ansy.
Thanks heaps other than that these ones are top quality and am really looking forward to getting out there with it and giving it a try. Just tossing up now on what pump to buy. Wish I could get to Oallen this weekend but have to move house unfortunately but my club (parramatta prospecting club) will there and I am sure I will get a report.
Looking forward to the videos next week.
Thanks Again
