#58 mini highbanker includes a mini highbanker, 4 legs, 750 GPH pump on bracket and 4ft 3/4" hose.
RDH #58 Mini Highbanker—6″ x 21″ with 750 GPH Pump
The RDH #58 Mini Highbanker is a compact, portable gold-recovery system for prospecting at the creek, processing drywasher concentrates, or operating from a recirculating tub at home or camp.
Built from lightweight .080-gauge 5052 aircraft aluminum, this highbanker combines a built-in spray bar, adjustable legs, multiple recovery surfaces, and an included 12-volt 750 GPH pump. At approximately 10 pounds, it is manageable enough to carry into remote sampling locations while still providing 42 inches of combined hopper and sluice processing area.
Two-Stage Gold Recovery
Material is introduced into the upper hopper, where the built-in spray bar helps break it apart and move it across black ribbed matting. The black surface provides useful contrast for quickly identifying visible gold.
Material then passes into the lower sluice, which combines ribbed miner’s carpet with expanded metal. The expanded metal creates additional turbulence and protected collection zones while helping prevent rocks from disturbing gold held within the carpet.
Compact Recirculating Design
The Mini Highbanker is designed to fit over a suitable plastic tub. Add a tub, 12-volt battery, and small tailings bucket to create a compact recirculating system for use in the garage, at camp, or in dry areas.
It can also be operated beside a creek or stream by positioning the included pump in an appropriate water source.

Additional Equipment Required
For recirculating operation, you will also need:
-
Suitable plastic reservoir or tub
-
Compatible 12-volt lawn-and-garden battery
-
Proper battery connections and fuse protection
-
Small bucket or container for waste rock
-
Classification and cleanup tools
The tub, battery, tailings bucket, concentrates, and cleanup tools are not included.
Setup and Operation
Set the highbanker on firm ground and adjust each leg until the unit is stable with a consistent downward slope. Connect the hose to the pump and spray-bar system, then position the pump in a clean water source or recirculating reservoir.
Supply power to the pump and verify that water is distributed evenly before adding material. Feed classified material gradually into the hopper, allowing the spray bar to break it apart and wash it into the sluice.
Adjust the slope and feed rate until lighter material moves steadily through the recovery section without packing beneath the expanded metal.
Recirculating Setup Tips
When using a tub, place a small bucket or settling container beneath the discharge end to collect larger waste material. This helps prevent rocks and sediment from returning directly to the pump.
Maintain an adequate water level throughout operation. Never run the pump dry, and disconnect the battery before adjusting the pump or plumbing.
Cleanup
Disconnect the pump before disassembling the recovery section. Remove the expanded metal and carefully rinse the miner’s carpet into a clean tub or bucket.
Because the riffle components and cage are aluminum, a magnet can be used near the equipment to help remove accumulated magnetic black sand without being attracted to the sluice hardware.

Manufacturer-Shipping Notice
This product ships directly from the manufacturer. Allow approximately 3–5 business days before tracking information becomes available, followed by normal delivery transit time.
The unit comes with 12volt 750-gph pump, 4ft Recirculating hose and a recirculating pump bracket. It has adjustable legs for easy slope control and black ribbed matting in the hopper for fast gold ID and a built in spay bar, down below is ribbed miner's carpet with Expanded metal. The expanded metal helps keep the gold in the box and prevent rocks from knocking it loose. These are made to fit in a plastic tubs. All you need is the tub,12V-lawn mower battery and a small pail to catch the waste rock. These are local items and help save on shipping. You can use the Mini-Recirculating Gold Highbanker in the desert or on your favorite stream. The Mini-Recirculating Gold Highbanker will help get the gold much faster than panning or drywashing. The sluice and hopper make 42" of classifying area. The box and hopper are 6"W x 21"L x 3 inch high sides it weigh's 10 lbs. The riffles and cage are aluminum , making it easier to use a magnet to remove the black sand build up. This mini highbanker has a 12volt 750-gph pump for plenty of water volume. I now make this units with a built in spray bar. The sluice and hopper is a strong .080 gauge 5052 aircraft aluminum.
