Like the original gold buddy this is a self contained unit with many uses - PROSPECTING, SAMPLING, CONCENTRATE CLEANUP. This is a higher volume high banker than the standard Gold Buddy and is designed to be set up as a traditional power sluice. The sluice/hopper is 41 inches long and has an adjustable four leg stand to conform to any terrain. The sluice/hopper comes in two sections and the entire assembly requires only 3 wing nuts. The hopper is 8 inches wide and 14 inches long. The sluice is 8 inches wide and 27 inches long. The unit can be set up to recirculate its own water or in a lake or stream as, a traditional power sluice. Powered by a 12 volt 1250 gph electric pump which draws only 2.6 amps. The total weight of the components is only 14 pounds.

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 recirculate 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.
