GOLD BUDDY Mini-Hibanker |
|
A self contained unit with many uses - PROSPECTING, SAMPLING, CONCENTRATE CLEANUP. The top classifier box has a classifying section that allows larger stones to drop off the end in a waste pile while the smaller, heavier material is washed into the lower sluice where the gold is trapped in the riffles and carpet. Powered by a 12 volt 750 gph electric pump. The hopper is 7 x 20 inches and is 4 inches deep. The sluice is 7 x 24 inches and the total weight is about 20 pounds. Comes complete with everything you need except the optional plastic tub, if you want to set it up to recalculate, a plastic tailings bucket, and a 12 volt battery.
Please Note: The above photo shows the unit along with an optional plastic tub and tailing bucket. These are not included because of the increased shipping cost for the oversize package required to ship them. These tubs and buckets are readily available at home improvement stores like Lowe's or Home Depot, or at discount stores like Wal-Mart. If you are not setting the unit up to recalculate these parts are not needed.
A 12 volt power supply is required to operate the pump and is not included. It will run off your vehicle battery or any 12 volt battery. I use a tractor battery, which is about half the size of a car battery, and has the capacity to run this unit for several hours. The tractor battery is available at Wal-Mart for about $20. It will also run off a 12 volt DC power supply or most battery chargers. #-5690; GOLD BUDDY 12 VOLT RECIRCULATION MINI HIGH BANKER; $329.00 |
