[QUOTE="shivan, post: 352133, member: 194"] So we are looking for reasons to allow highbankers rather than get them banned, how about this. Highbankers should cause less siltation to waterways than sluices or panning, as generally highbankers are used (as Jemba said) to get the water to the dirt rather than the dirt to the water. At places like Oallen the water will make it back to the river but you are not washing dirt directly into the river. You can also restore the soil profile much easier using a highbanker as you can sluice back into your hole as you dig if you set up correctly, any panning or sluiceing material is getting cleaned and washed directly into the waterway preventing the restoration of the soil profile generally. Not sure if these point are more of a help or a hinder after reading the again, but still technically true. [/QUOTE]
