High Banker
- Sluices are held in the flume with rivet pins. Making
it easy to lift out and do a clean out of the sluice.
- 3/4" water supply hook up.
- 1" spray bar with 1" control valve.
- 24" stainless steel legs.
Consider a sluice box, mounted on a 4-legged stand
that gives the sluice box the correct slope. Then, mount a box
(called a Hopper) at the top end of the sluice box that gravels
are shoveled into. In the hopper, put a “grizzly”
which is a series of rods sloping in the box that will filter
out larger rocks. Also in the hopper, put one or two “spray
bars” that shoot a spray of water onto the gravels that
you have just shoveled in. Add a gas engine with a water pump
and some hoses to get the water from the pump to the spray bars
and you have a High Banker.
When you shovel in gravels into the hopper, water sprays
onto the gravels. Anything that is small enough to drop through
the Grizzly enters the top end of the sluice box. Anything to
large to fall through the grizzly falls, or is scraped of with
a shovel, into a pile directly behind the rig.
When the smaller gravels fall into the top of the sluice
box, the water from the spray bars begins washing out the gravels
just like in a regular sluice box. The sluice box has riffles
just like a sluice box. In fact, High Banking is often called
“Power Sluicing.”
Just like pans and just like sluice boxes, High Bankers
come in a large variety of styles and sizes. The small High
Bankers often come with a pack frame so the high banker can
be backpacked to remote locations. The largest high bankers
often are a combination of dredge and high banker , giving the
recreational prospector the option of high banking or dredging.
Differences in riffles, spray bars, engine-pump combinations
and hose all contribute to a seemingly infinite selection of
high bankers. I suggest getting the largest High Banker-Dredge
combination you can easily handle and can afford.
High bankers give you the ability to bring the water
to you work site. Sometimes, gold bearing gravels are located
some distance away from a water source, or the water source
is not conducive to using a typical sluice box. The high banker
pumps water from the water source to the work site, so you don’t
have to carry buckets of gravel back to the creek.
