I'm good at secrets, I know where there is plenty of water, however sadly creswick creek is on the no go list, that's including the one that goes right thru town I know a good little spot to get dirt near the lawn bowl centre at the concrete thingies they catch heaps of gold

I have a trommel that runs off a 12v motor made from a 60l drum that might work if you can post some photos of material you need to wash the size of the rocks and a general location i may be able to help. if you are more inclined for a DIY option here is a link for plans to make a hand powered trommel from 20L buckets and pvc pipe and fittings. mlaine.homeip.net/Trom/

Another idea from the Tathradj think Tank.
.
Any One think of using rotary spray bars as in like a dish washer. ???
.
Had a brain flash moment today while installing a TV antenna for a mate.
There was an old dish washer sitting there.
.
And while I am typing here I am watching SHMBO loading the dish washer.
.
Hmmmm.
.
Maybe my bald patch is going to get worse. :lol:
.
Probably come from the Tasmanian Beer that I am drinking ATM.
.
Just got the shakes thinking about it.
.
I can see how to build them.
.
Slightly off balance to shake the banker as well.
.
Stuff, I am not going to sleep tonight.
.
F@@K.
.
I can imagine the look on a few peoples face's now.
.
Doug, What are you doing. ????
.
Just washing the dish's mate.
.
Actually there is a lot of merit in this.
.
A bloody lot.
.
Brain Fart in motion now.... 8)

bit like a cement mixer with spray bars but inverted...
No,
Just like the spray bars in a dish washer.
.
Mate, I am freaking.
.
It just hit me on what can be done here.
.
I am serious.
.
The amount of force generated and the speed that these things can turn at running 30 to 40 psi.
.
Fluid under centrifugal force. at around 600 revs a minute.
.
2 quad bars 14 inches across running in a banker would be unreal.
.
Taking into account the amount of water sufficient going through the Banker.
.
If each bar was 3/4 inch id, you could run 2 on a 1 1/2 pump.
.
Leave it with me and any input would be welcome.

watch this space.
I can hardly wait to see the look on Wal's face when I fire up a dual rotary WalBanker. :lol:

If it works, Priceless. 8)
.
A bit of research on Google states they are called rotary scrubbers.
.
I am going to run with it.
