    Hand Trommel - Australian supplier

    I will be looking into making own bucket trommel when I find some cheap material too bend up a sluice.. Sort of similar too what I mentioned in the banjo thread, I really want something that can mince up all the clay and feeds the sluice.. I'm sure many love the idea of that, so I'm going too...

    Walbanker vs Banjo
