how to build a highbanker dredge combo sluice box

Luka must be very big now, tell him we say HELLO! For me, after many experiences like this, I bought my own equipment.

I have made equipment, but chose to use cheap material and it didn't work well: a trommel made of a bucket and chicken wire, and some smaller 1/4' screens, but the wire did not hold up to continued use. Those sluices got heavy as they got water logged, but worked. Have you considered wood? I've used dry washers made of wood, and a high banker could be made of wood, wouldn't last forever, but have heard of people making sluices out of wood that lasted the season. I was going to put 3/4 inch Expended metal sheeting over some carpet. For aluminum, I seem to remember looking at 5140 aluminum which does not need to be heated, but the tool to bend it put the price above what I could buy it for. These can be made with left over steel street signs, by heating with a torch where the bend is going to happen. I will put up front I have not made one, but did a lot of research into making one before I realized it was cheaper for me to order one, but your prices are much more expensive. pls have in mind that here in darn Serbia its no shop to sell any of minning eqwipment, all have to be diy I would be very grateful for any tips and ideas what materials to use, what tupe of matting, bars, expanded metal. this baby cost over 500$ + serbian greedy customs and shippment, its go over 1000$ i look to make some similar and to spend max 200$ that its my limit. So i got idea to make small highbanker like this, and to buy one solar panel to rechardge our battery while we in field doing highbanking. i see this work on 12v and its realy good for us becouse its cheaper to run here in Serbia gas its 1,5bucks for one L. this little 12v highbanker from Keene give me idea to try to make some similar to this one. so i am wery happy that gold fever catch him so i decide to little money that i have on side for bad days invest to make him some eqvipment. As some of you know my small boy Luka its grow up enough to join me in prospecting adventures, and i realy want to keep him spend time outdoor in nature, as far as posible from video games, internet, instagram and that things.
