The power sluice / highbanker can work remote placer gold deposits hundreds of feet away from the water source. Rather than haul material to the water, you can bring a lightweight, efficient power sluice directly to the source. These are usually powered by 12 volt electric batteries. If the sluice is designed to catch and recirculate the water it is called a recirculating power sluice, or recirculating highbanker. The water pump can be either electric or gas powered.
