Thought this might be a good idea for cravicing. If I knocked up a few would anyone be interested in 1?

Think it might need a few tweaks but in the end it's similar to a dreage but it's human powered and it's a lot smaller lol

Just thought it would be great for cravicing.

HI Ku,
I see 3 issues with this design (it's great for water/air etc but not for slurries):
1. There is no input filter, so larger aggegrate (> say 2mm) will block the input valve, forcing it to remain open, and
2. Even small aggregates will be caught between the O-Ring and the ball on the return cycle (closing), thereby causing it not to fully close, and
3. The wear and tear on the one-way valves (acrylic ball) will require you to keep spares.

Well your name is Aussie gamer Ben...what game?

haha sorry mate.

that was the name I created before I started my prospecting hobby. I have a youtube channel for AussieGamer_Ben aswell.
while I was off work with my broken leg I started posting vids of xbox1 games. then when I was able to walk around I started crowleys prospecting adventures.
I mainly focus on that now.
 
Don't forget the vaselene would not be your friend with gravel / gold and anything else being stuck to it. Massive wear problem. It may be ok with just running with water and gravel. Ken.
