*UPDATED* Honcoop HB17 Trommel Highbanker

Gold prospecting with Audrey and Nikki in Portland, MI. October 25, 2008.

This is a water powered trommel. A turgo water wheel mechanically powers the drum. Muddy recirculated water can be used. The drum is 3/16 stainless punch hole screen. Material classified out the front of the drum is moved to the side tray with its own water supply. Great fine gold recovery.

I live in Michigan too, and I have been interested in prospecting myself. Is a permit required, and if so how much does it cost? And where is someone allowed to prospect?

Sorry for asking, I couldn't find the info on any governmental sites :(
