Power sluice rebuild.

[Goldwasher]

A while back I scored an older Hi banker combo for $80.00 the guy wanted $ 75. 00 I had to refuse Abe Lincoln a couple times but, it was the right thing to do. It came with the dredge header box, the hopper, sluice body old riffle set, and raised expanded. I added a spray bar, and classifier. Removed the unnecessary old nuts and bolts, did some sealing and added some rivets. Put on a Jobe leg kit. (HANGTOWN) And most importantly joined the modern age with some GoldHog mats. The old riffles and expanded have their use just not for our situation. They would load up and create too many cons to carry out. We did a test run. I havn't ran it with a pump yet but, will soon. Still need to take tweak the hopper a bit its got a memory bend in the botton deck I need to straighten with some aluminum its sending water into the box unevenly. Also need to mount the damper. On the fence about using the punchplate or not and if I'm gonna put some moss under the hopper over the ur matt. Added the paint job so she will be a little more secure for the couple overnighters she'll have. I'm into it for roughly $200.00. You cant get an add on hopper for that!!!! Well, I probably could

"tweak the hopper a bit its got a memory bend in the botton deck..."
Try this old body shop trick first...it's called Heat/Quench.
Using a propane torch, heat the center of the bend, then immediately hit it with a cold water soaked rag.

You can tell a miner is from CA because his equipment is camouflaged. Nice set up for $200

Not because its Illegal. (WHICH IT IS NOT) Because she may have to spend the night alone and I sleep a little better knowing she is well hidden.

Awesome setup for a smoking deal. Great score and nice job on the build Goldwasher! It's the perfect tool for the job, always nice to get what you need without giving away an arm and leg

I agree 100% but even when I know I am legal I feel like I have to hide. Just don't need the hassle anymore.
