Gday mate, unsure if this has been mentioned but get length of flexible pipe/tube/hose (preferably smooth walle) and run a siphon into the top of your highbanking setup. Submerse the entire hose up stream. Whilst submerged cap one end with a temporary plug and then take that end down stream to your setup and unplug to start the siphon.
Grab yourself a highlift jack. Winner winner chicken dinner. Nice gold, mate had a rough day today so we went to a new spot and he got a picker and a specie first pan! Thanks for sharing! 👌⛏💰
That’s pretty awesome. Is there a way you could bring say like 70 feet of wide hose? Then you could gravity pump water. Like siphoning. We can’t use mechanical devices here either without permits and a letter of intent. But a gravity dredge just uses water pressure through a hose. No mechanical crap needed 🤔😉food for thought
you just explained the exact idea iv got planned mate🤠. I was testing the hose idea out off camera before I started the video,, stay tuned for the improved setup
OUCH! That is one pissed off finger. I think you best get back there, finish that crevice with a big pry bar? I can smell the goodness in it from here : D
It always amazes me when governments change the rules when they never tried to do what your doing. And lack the education and understanding of how hard there making it on every one.
I live in El Dorado county , California. No dredge...no high banker unless over 300 feet from water...no gravity dredge. You can't even have a generator near water as it is a mechanical device while "panning/mining". Mechanical devices no matter the use..is deemed a no go.
That hand banker was a good idea. Did you dream that up or did you see one some where. No matter it sure works and that was some pretty nice gold for the time you put in. Great video buddy
I've been told you can use a water pump, provided it's not running into the stream. So you need a kids pool to run it in for example. Don't know if it bypasses the law or not, I was just told this by a friend.
Hay Sean nice chilly vid mate lol lol Remember the old blokes in boats Used a pump to empty the water out with You maybe use that with a bucket of clean water Going into that sluice ay might work ??? Even on a hoes into it too Nice use of the car jack lol Hop to maybe catch you up on my way down south In a month or so Cheers for the cold reminder lol lol brrrr Crouch
Busted Knuckles Prospecting yes I was 56 yrs mate Aust state champion In nsw and qld investor of many surf related stuff Old roof tiler busted up lol lol Just been with Cameron Smith He is a smart man knows his GM 1 real good I have a channel too Crouch
it's funny how alot of us use the same tools! I grinded that shovel into more of a point. was good until I snapped the handle. suppercheap red handel bar. hurry up summer!
Sad, that you have to operate the high banker in such an archaic fashion. I can only hope that your political leaders will see the logic in loosening their current restrictions. Thanks you very much for your extra efforts!
I feel that pain of working in cold water (spent an entire winter in tassie going for sapphires) Thin gloves under a pair of extra long, heavy duty washing up gloves helps a lot, until you go in too deep. Lol
Wish you had my 2 inch dredge there and really get some gold. If you get a dredge, get a HONDA engine as the use very little gas and rarely any up keep.
So watching this video i notice you saying about the law on Mechanical or Electrical pumps whilst having the greatest respect of the laws Laid down we must follow, I notice on your Highbanker that you have water inlets if the pipes where reduced to say to 2inch feed you could technically add a lever hand pump to your highbanker sluice this would just leave you hand pumping rather than using pails of water,,your water suck will come from a pipe connection into the highbanker from the creek or river, You could run a 3inch pipe from the inlet across with drilled holes 1)2 apart on the bottom as you pump into this tube the water releases into the sluice and feeds the sluice okay you have to hand pump but it most deginetly beats lifting carrying pails of water i rather save my back and build my arm muscles pumping great exercise.
I had a bucket set up connected to those pipes and used a second bucket to fill the other to keep a constant water supply going, less effort than hand pumps but I had done your idea and it is definitely a work out
The best pickers I got today were in my nose. Beautiful gold and a great video. Nice little creek. Thanks for sharing.
Good TO SEE SOME GOLD FOR ALL THAT HARD LABOR GOOD JOB
Lol I've made a long sluice with that door matt u have in this vid , cut it into three strips and it worked a treat . cheers for sharing
Great video, Sean. Good move with the carjack. You have a beautiful location in terms of both the scenery and the gold. Thank you for sharing.

I’ll think of this video when im chopping through ice to use my hand dredge this winter!!!! Those darn laws... Nice video🍺
Sweet clip mate, a day out of town & a bit of gold to take home, doesn't get much better than that
Grab yourself a highlift jack. Winner winner chicken dinner.
Nice gold, mate had a rough day today so we went to a new spot and he got a picker and a specie first pan!
Thanks for sharing! 👌⛏💰
Sean,
Great ideas you came up with, seems as tho you used everything but the hub caps from the car on this trip !
Nice little setup for us NSW prospectors a lot lighter than my rocker Cheers Glenno.
There’s still more to come with the high banker, should be fully functional soon
Go to "The Fossicker" and look at pyramid pro pan on UA-cam. Also see the related videos on the pyramid pro pan.

That is awesome! Can’t wait to see bro. 😎😎
Yeouch! That's more than a busted knuckle!
Nice at least you are aloud to do that kind of manual high banking. We can't even use a river sluice in BC..great gold!🇨🇦🇦🇺
Ive seen on another channel were somebody did the same thing and I thought it was a great idea, yours is one step beyond that. Nice job!!
Thanks mate, wait until you see the gravity style pump idea I’m going to use with it🤠
Great video Sean that's a good combination with the yabby pump the hand Banker and car jack.
Nice, keep getting the shiny.
At least the crack had the pickers in it that you got. Great day for gold. 👍🎥
I don't do SNOW. Cool Vid. Just had a Mind Flash of some prospector finding a Skeleton with it's arm STUCK under a large bolder.
Very ingenious!
Looks cold, we are cooking in Arizona, great video as always my friend
Thanks Bill🤠
good video, nice little bit of the yellow stuff, it looks like you could have used a big pry bar on the crevice you were cleaning out cheers
The new name for ya thing the 'highwanker'😂😂😂
great video bro by the way smart thinking with the car jack
nice mate I had a big rock slip off a car jack came down on the shovel and knocked the wind out of me hahaha
Lol ouch🤠
Another great video 👍👍 keep on searching for the elusive golden nugget 🤠👍
Love your videos...keep em coming!!!!
OUCH! That is one pissed off finger. I think you best get back there, finish that crevice with a big pry bar? I can smell the goodness in it from here : D
Will do mate🤠
I moved boulders like that one to build a fire place at my deer hunting shed not an,easy task but those rock got hot and kept it warm all night .

I went to the pyramid pro pan...I retired my sluice..it's collecting dust in the garage...I can easily outpace a sluice.

Thank you for the videos I appreciate the education and I will be able to use it this weekend when I go to Coker Creek Tennessee for some panning
I love crevicings. I found a nugget of 2 tenths of a gram. It was with a sucker that pumps into a bucket.
Yes car jack love it lol 🤙🤙🦖🦖
Congrats on 10K
Talk about Busted Knuckles ouch
Good onya, some nice gold there, well done matey
Nice gold .thank you for sharing.
Good fines, good times, whats not to like
You must be in my head, I've been thinking of this same thing lately
No, Just a Grizzly Prospector Type with more ways to skin a cat. LOL We gotta out fox the bastards.
Hay Sean nice chilly vid mate lol lol
Remember the old blokes in boats
Used a pump to empty the water out with
You maybe use that with a bucket of clean water
Going into that sluice ay might work ???
Even on a hoes into it too
Nice use of the car jack lol
Hop to maybe catch you up on my way down south
In a month or so
Cheers for the cold reminder lol lol brrrr
Crouch
Let me know and I’ll try catching up if I can
Yea cheers mate will do
Be nice to see your joint
And meet you too
Bloody hot up here lol lol
Crouch
Hopefully it’s a little warmer by the time you get down this way🤠, just out of curiosity, your not a surfer by any chance?
Busted Knuckles Prospecting yes I was 56 yrs mate Aust state champion

Old roof tiler busted up lol lol
Just been with Cameron Smith
He is a smart man knows his GM 1 real good
I have a channel too
Crouch
Yabby pump with a "Y"...some check valves...into a bucket...made 3 of them. Awesomeness!!!!!!
it's funny how alot of us use the same tools! I grinded that shovel into more of a point. was good until I snapped the handle. suppercheap red handel bar. hurry up summer!
Good one Sean x
Watching your hands go from Red to Blue!😆!
😂
Great setup need to make some legs for that puppy so u dont gotta walk the buckets all day...even use it with a tote for dry land
Sad, that you have to operate the high banker in such an archaic fashion. I can only hope that your political leaders will see the logic in loosening their current restrictions. Thanks you very much for your extra efforts!
How important is dumping an even flow of water from your bucket as far as not losing gold out the end of the box?
just one suggestion, take your gal on a date to the creek and have her pour water while your diggin. works well.hehe
That’s a awesome idea buddy🤠😉
looks like that shovel was designed for that 1 rock special lol
I feel that pain of working in cold water (spent an entire winter in tassie going for sapphires)
Thin gloves under a pair of extra long, heavy duty washing up gloves helps a lot, until you go in too deep. Lol
Lol it’s got me buggered how pioneer Pauly snipes gold in the water. His nuts 🥜 would be loving it
@@BustedknucklesProspecting A hot cup of tea in a tin cup warms your hands up fast. :)
R u allowed to use a hand bilge pump? Like the ones they use on the rocker boxes
Great video 👍
Great vid again mate. Must be blow old down there. Don’t know how you do it.
It’s the gold fever driving my engine lol.
Thanks for another great video
Do you figure that's better than setting up the bottom section as a river sluice? Not enough water flow? Fun video, though. Thanks!
use a manual hand bilge pump
Wish you had my 2 inch dredge there and really get some gold. If you get a dredge, get a HONDA engine as the use very little gas and rarely any up keep.
be nice if you can dry, weigh and value the finds..
You could use a come along and a set of tire chains and move that rock in minutes.
So watching this video i notice you saying about the law on Mechanical or Electrical pumps whilst having the greatest respect of the laws Laid down we must follow,

Sick of the grammarly ads on youtube right now.... Shakespear would turn in his grave!
@TheInfinitequest I haven't seen a youtube ad in years. Thank you Adblock Plus!
@TheInfinitequest No problem. I hate ads.
@TheInfinitequest same
If in rv or campsite you can use...but to run lights while on the water to see what you're doing...NOPE!!!!
Hey bro if u want to come to Dubbo more then welcome to accommodate
You need a different tool to process...if you can't run a sluice.
Why not covert your pump to battery power
Because it’s illegal in my state..
The Fossicker pyramid pro pan...check it out on UA-cam.
Is there any way I can send you pictures of my manual dredge, by whatsapp?
55 (62) 996879669 my number.
Put a pan at the end of your sluice
Not being able to use a small electric pump makes no sense at all.
