High-Banking Without Water Pumps!!! 

The best pickers I got today were in my nose. Beautiful gold and a great video. Nice little creek. Thanks for sharing.

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

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.

Good TO SEE SOME GOLD FOR ALL THAT HARD LABOR GOOD JOB

I’ll think of this video when im chopping through ice to use my hand dredge this winter!!!! Those darn laws... Nice video🍺

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

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

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! 👌⛏💰

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Sweet clip mate, a day out of town & a bit of gold to take home, doesn't get much better than that

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!🇨🇦🇦🇺

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

Yeouch! That's more than a busted knuckle!

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.

The new name for ya thing the 'highwanker'😂😂😂

Love your videos...keep em coming!!!!

At least the crack had the pickers in it that you got. Great day for gold. 👍🎥

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

Great video Sean that's a good combination with the yabby pump the hand Banker and car jack.

Nice, keep getting the shiny.

Another great video 👍👍 keep on searching for the elusive golden nugget 🤠👍

Very ingenious!

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.

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 .

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

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

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.

Yes car jack love it lol 🤙🤙🦖🦖

Congrats on 10K

Looks cold, we are cooking in Arizona, great video as always my friend

Good onya, some nice gold there, well done matey

How important is dumping an even flow of water from your bucket as far as not losing gold out the end of the box?

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 love crevicings. I found a nugget of 2 tenths of a gram. It was with a sucker that pumps into a bucket.

Talk about Busted Knuckles ouch

R u allowed to use a hand bilge pump? Like the ones they use on the rocker boxes

great video bro by the way smart thinking with the car jack

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!

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

You must be in my head, I've been thinking of this same thing lately

Nice gold .thank you for sharing.

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..

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

Good fines, good times, whats not to like

Watching your hands go from Red to Blue!😆!

Do you figure that's better than setting up the bottom section as a river sluice? Not enough water flow? Fun video, though. Thanks!

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

Great vid again mate. Must be blow old down there. Don’t know how you do it.

You could use a come along and a set of tire chains and move that rock in minutes.

Great video 👍

looks like that shovel was designed for that 1 rock special lol

just one suggestion, take your gal on a date to the creek and have her pour water while your diggin. works well.hehe

use a manual hand bilge pump

Thanks for another great video

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

Good one Sean x

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.

If in rv or campsite you can use...but to run lights while on the water to see what you're doing...NOPE!!!!

You need a different tool to process...if you can't run a sluice.

Hey bro if u want to come to Dubbo more then welcome to accommodate

Sick of the grammarly ads on youtube right now.... Shakespear would turn in his grave!

Put a pan at the end of your sluice

Why not covert your pump to battery power

Not being able to use a small electric pump makes no sense at all.

Is there any way I can send you pictures of my manual dredge, by whatsapp?
