Bought on of those minecaft pin pointers just so when dig up some quartz rocks a quick scan with can tell me if there's anything in there, out of that pile I had here only 1 showed a beeping so put it aside and that will be the first rock to go thru my crusher later in the year

Jack I have repaired hammer mills throughout my life and the hammers are fixed on all the one's I have done, I have looked at a few homebuilt ones and yes most use floating ones. This design of mine where the hammers are just shy of the choccy blocks will crush anything in it's path period.
