Nice work!! I'm thinking you are building a trick trailer to haul all your gear.

The High Banker and Sluice were built around the same Keene Sluice and the Frames on the Dredge and High Banker are fold up portable with removable floats and legs. Neither take up much room. It is the same with the recirc. Sluice and fold up table. The Gold-vac does take up room but the attachments and ear protectors are inside the vac.....jim
