Wow! huge amount of gold, for such a short run. Pickerton might be the best place I have ever run a highbanker. And after this first little test run catching great gold and pickers I can see running a full day here could be very rewarding with a lot of gold as a return. Unfortunately this time around I did not have much time, and my Water pump packed it in on me. So I had to cut the High Banking trip short.

That's very generous of you Dan, I enjoy giving gold to newcomers who always see me doing my thing in the river, if they want to help me I always give them a quick lesson or two on how to pan and what to look for and then I give them the find of the day, here in Colorado

I used to work three claims in South Dakota Black Hills with my uncle back in the early 70s when I was a little tike. I don't know how I came across your videos but I love them and now you make me wish I were back in the hills. My brother and I used to run up and down and all through the standby mine before it was all torn down. Just had rotator cuff and hip surgery but maybe I'll get a vacation out there next year. Although I'm sure all the ground is claimed. I am a new subscriber at 99.4K.

Wouldn't it be more efficient on pump gas etc to fill up 5 gallon pails with dirt then run it through the high banker? Seems with that hard digging the pump runs a lot when you are digging and for a little dirt. You are the expert but what am I missing? Always a fan Jeff Trag!
