To my greenhorn eyes this looks pretty bloody nifty, anything like it floating around NZ? Buy price isn't too extreme but shipping would be a killer...

Hi CPJfox,
nice looking unit, had a quick look on youtube.
My advice would be to hang onto ya hard earned dosh!!,
Look at the height the the paydirt has to be placed, try doing that all day and your back wont be to happy,
The unit is well oversized for the job,a highbanker well less than half the size and HP would keep one man on the go.
If they can get the dirt to the unit,they would have done better to have a sluice set up in the river,
In short,sometimes keeping it simple works best, and a whole lot cheaper!!
Take care Steve
