they contain some one way valves, there has been a lot of work here in oz on the idea, someone had a prototype at eldorado a couple of years back, they should be for sale now

esayest way to get hold of one that is solid and reliable is to walk into the local fishing shop and buy a yabbie pump/handpump designed for pulling yabbies out there holes any fishing shop would have them jarvis walker would be your cheapest brand or shurecatche cheers

mate a yaby pump and a gold n sand are miles apart Ill apolagise (spelling) if im wrong but your gold is going to drop straight out the bottom of a yabby pump befor you get it to your bucket. also the gold n sand pumps ALL the gravel and sand and gold from the same spot Its not hard to opperate, it light, it handles 10mm gravel well. I just havent had a chance to use it properly yet first time I used it I got alot of black sand in my pan. I dont know if there is gold there or not

i have only used it twice and so far it works very well. lots of black sand and a few bits of colour.

Hey Camfish, Yabby pumps work a treat, just make the nozzle end to fit and away you go. Probably a 25mm tip would be good. Cheers and HH Brad..

I stand corrected I guess you have to narrow down the end to give it some holding ability.
