Update Sept 15, 2025: Due to the USA tariffs situation, please email me regarding orders to the United States. It looks like I may have to pause orders to the USA until everything gets sorted out.
Photos of the latest build are now up for you to view. An improved matting retention system, faster tool free cleanups, and overall refined construction make this the best version yet! Check my YouTube videos for a closer look at this machine. I look forward to being a part of your next gold mining season!

At just Just 38lbs (17.3kg), The Utmost Adventurer is a unique fine gold highbanker in that it combines a 20” wide recovery area of a beach box, with the form factor of 10” highbanker.
(Price in Canadian Dollars) (email me for a shipping quote to anywhere in the world, this website has limited shipping options) (I’m still working on finding a good shipping option to PNG)
This hopper is 10” wide while the main sluice is split into two levels for a total recovery width of 20” of expanded metal over backed miners moss. This allows the hopper to get blasted with twice the water flow that is hitting the main sluice. This results in better cleaning action without putting too much water over the sluice box, retaining fine gold.
The highbanker is 38lbs (17.3kg) fully assembled including the spray bar, matting, and legs. Every detail has been meticulously thought out for the best possible field use experience. There are no bolts that can be misplaced, as they all have the threads tack welded to prevent loss. The highbanker sets up and takes down in seconds with no tools required. Just connect the end of your 1.5” layflat hose to the included flexible feed line and level the highbanker using the included bubble levels and you are off to the races!
I have had good results running between 34 and 40 GPM (128 - 150 liters per minute) but higher flow rates still seem to work. I did the majority of design and testing on the North Saskatchewan River’s notoriously fine Alberta flour gold and I can feed it as fast as I can shovel without major losses. Black sand content in your area will affect the feed rate, but I suspect 20” wide miners moss recovery will suit most hand mining operations without moving into a bulky and difficult to pack in machine. I pair this machine with a Honda WX15 water pump at about 1/2 throttle and love the combo! (current testing with a 4700gph bilge pump looks promising)
If you’re new here, check out more videos on YouTube “Utmost Outdoors” to see the evolution of builds that lead to this machine.
Thank you for checking out the Utmost Adventurer highbanker, we are very proud of it!
