Royal Mini Highbanker Gold Sluice Mods 1 Inch Gas Pump for More Volume

this is my royal mini highbanker and this is pretty much how they come stock only difference with this one is I had added this rubber mat to protect the pan and kind of dispersed the water that was my thought anyway my goal with this mini highbanker was to try and push more volume through it so the first modification that I made was this kind of water jet manifold and head that actually just slides on as you can see here I just one-handed sorry just kind of pops on here and half inch fits on here you can see my buddy be a miner came up with this to be able to run a one-inch gas pump to this mini highbanker and I got a valve here and it breaks off into this half-inch I put this tee in and created this manifold here there's water jets and this is adjustable all the joints are glued except these two and what happened is with more water pressure and volume coming through this half-inch it's pushing against us pin here and spring out towards the edges so not only does this help compensate for putting water back down the middle it allows me to also put my shovel underneath it below it and it helps wash off the shovel and I can do it at a pace that this mini highbanker will handle here's the other mod I came up with it's essentially a mini extension and it's about I guess eat inches long and what this allows me to do is I can slide this carpet and expanded metal down over this somewhat gives me a little bit longer running and then I take this piece of essentially miner's moss which is a piece of a rubber mat from Home Depot it's very similar to miner's moss you can see going differences because it doesn't have it's not it's got a back and this goes will go up the Box up there so let's put it together here's everything assembled partway with the extension Maude I mean and you can see the Home Depot miner's moss back there and the carpet expanded metal here I put it over the miner's moss somewhat up top here here's everything assembled [Applause] the extension here isn't the finest craftsmanship I've got some job a little bit of gapping on the side that's why I put the carpet underneath I'm going to make a better version later on but this is just for now most of the gold should be catching up in the top of the box anyway it's a mini highbanker running with the mods I added for more volume 1 inch pump is running essentially running on an idle right now they get a long runtime with it you've got strong water coming out here that rubber mat kind of help dissipate it otherwise it was shooting over to the corner that the streams coming down here for when the shovel watch all right been up and running for a while now - my tailings here got a shovel full pay [Music] see the ripples look pretty good shut off after about an hour and see thing yeah I saw it when it was running and I'm in an area that has small gold so clean this thing out [Applause] and use my hair I just wash up the carpet here and what I really want to look at is the miner's moss stuff I bought from Home Depot that's my real indicator how the gold what is that I'm on I might improve the washing capabilities a little bit so the back side of that carpet wash is better all right let's go pianist [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] take a look again this is the miner's moss from Home Depot and some peace more coming out on the gold not the best I seen but not the worst you
