Hi all, I own 20 acres in northern California. Is it against the law to run a highbanker & Trommel on my private property? Seasonal creek/stream? I own minerals rights as well, not sure if that makes a difference or not.
Thanks!

Hey All,
I am new to Treasure.net and this is my first post.
My question is, is it normal to have some losses of fine material in the coarse tailings pile from a highbanker?
I just got a Gold Hog Piglet mini highbanker that I ran the other day with a 3700gph 12v 16amp bilge pump.

I am going to get a 800 and...

So I got a wild hair and weled up some new riffles. I based everything off the clarkston research. I used 3/4"x3/4" angle iron and 1 1/2" flat bar. at 3/4" tall they should have been spaced 1 1/2" apart from down stream edge to up stream edge with a 15 degree pitch to them. I am running it with...

Hey there everyone,
I'm lookin into buying my first highbanker soon. I really like heckler fabrications products. The customization factor, effeciency, and heavy construction seem good. This is all based off what I read of course. I was thinking about getting the 510 model and having them...
