Trommel Alternative Options

[swizz]

I'm still trying to settle on a good portable wash plant for my claims. I really want the Heckler Mini Trommel but at $4200 I cannot justify it.
So..... Heckler Fab also offers a 2-stage commercial highbanker for $1869 that looks mighty tempting to me! Need to keep my budget under $2K, so this could be the one. For $89 they sell a dredge adapter that will accept 3" or 4" diameter. Other accessory options include matting configurations to specifically recover fine Gold which might be useful at places like CC. I need the coarse Gold recovery for now and it comes with Clarkson riffles (pictured).

Thoughts? Heckler 2-Stage

Not seeing a significant advantage over your current setup. Gonna need a lot of shovels and strong backs to move 7.5 yards an hour. If you're concerned about losses in your keen, add another length with different matting (dream Matt, expanded metal/moss) that'd allow more time for the clay to break up.

I think if you stuck with a banker, spending a few bucks to "frankenbank" yours would be more cost effective than dropping $2k on this
