[QUOTE="1968falconxt, post: 389333, member: 11897"] I am also going to make one of these in the coming weeks. I don't mean to hijack the thread and hope this question is helpful to Donny: I just made these dolly pots using a mild steel 20mm solid bar to crush the rock and tried one on the weekend. It left small bits of steel in the crushed rock and when I panned it in the turbo pan, I had quite a lot of steel flakes left. They stayed in the pan which I was surprised about. So, these whipping/chain style crushers in general apparently wear out the chains quickly which I understand to mean the sand will be full of metal flakes. Am i just panning wrong or will the pan always be left with metal flakes in the bottom?
