Welcome to Generation 5 of the original Gold Trek Ultralight Backpack Highbankers by Crux Prospecting!
Our Gen 5 Pro series come with new upgrades using everything we’ve learned through feedback from our amazing customers and our own testing.
This generation is made with a brand new composite polycarbonate formulation aimed at the perfect balance between the stability and wear resistance of the original Pro systems and the weight and impact resistance of the Lite systems. And we think we’ve nailed it.

Prospectors Game Changer
I love everything about this highbanker. It is so compact and easy to set up and use. I am able to pack in everything I need in one trip. I can process way more material not having to classify. The Clay Claw is a must have in my opinion. I use it to hold the material in a little longer to wash every speck of gold off the rocks. The mats are great for catching even the smallest pieces of gold and nearly all the gold is caught in the top section of the mat.
This makes prospecting so much more Fun and Productive. Absolutely LOVE it.
Blown away
Not only was Cyle super awesome through the whole process the system itself speaks volumes. The compactness of the unit as well as performance of the mats with or without the extensions are hard to compare anything else too! Also purchased with the unit the clay claw an at first wasn’t to satisfied using it till I figured out my pump was the issue not the unit after getting a functional pump my overall thoughts have changed an I would not withdraw my purchase or thought about buying it. I will definitely be back my question is can you make the composite in pink for the daughter think that would definitely bring little ladies into the hobby?! All in all 10/10 thanks again Cyle! Heavy pans!
Worth it
I love this machine we took it out this weekend and moved a ton of material and love the brush to clean the rocks when in the box 19 out of 10 killer product!
