First run with the Proline Big Banker ~ Gold Mining Wash Plant "Highbanker" Video

Proline gold mining high banker washplant; they just call it the "Big Banker". With Honda's 9 HP engine, and HP 500 gallon per minute pump, this unit moves a ton of material; literally. 15 guys shoveling cannot overwhelm this power sluice; it's a complete gravel hog. The hopper opening size is 23" x 31" inches.

The first sequence was shot using the case 580c backhoe; this was the first time the high banker was setup. The second, just a couple of us working in a different area... This wash plant lets you use either a small bucket on a backhoe, mini excavator, or a lot of guys with shovels and buckets.

If the gold is there, you will find it!

OK well this is some hard core prospecting, with a backhoe LOL. That big banker looks like a fantastic bit of kit, I can see why you? would need a backhoe to feed that hungry hopper - otherwise that's goin' to be a lot of shovellin' LOL. Top stuff mate, thanks for the look at your new toy. Happy Prospecting!
