Thanks MJB !
That's a nice unit, perfect for one man operation. Awesome build you did there with it ! I agree smaller ones are a bit over priced for their capacity . If one has the skill and material to build such equipment, why buy one, doubles the fun on the build, you get the gold with a unit you made yourself, extremely satisfying
These pics of bigger ones I saw, one is my friend's local built unit. Metal fabrication shops make them in quantities but they aren't cheap, though !
The second pictures shows one run by electric, required a generator, hence the many electric cords on the fore ground.
I am building a small bellows dry washer, I prefer the quietness and less dust of it's working Less noise means you can work without grabbing attention of other miners, so your (spot) remains out of the reach of the crowds
Wow ! you sure did a great job with old mullock heaps (I suppose that means tailing piles, right?) ! your summer conditions are perfect for dry washer operations, I agree again with you that every prospector should own one, for the times/areas where there is shortage of water to run a highbanker/sluice.
