Finally getting it together.

That looks good, can't wait to see a video of it working.

Thanks fellas,

I think it will look something like this

I am not sure in which way I will go with the riffles, I was thinking of making 2 detachable sluice trays that have different riffles in them,i.e one with gold hog matting and the other a combination of miners moss, expanded mess etc. I should be able to change them out in a minute.
Also maybe a tapered type sluice, still work in progress.

Cheers
Brad.

Very, very nice Brad.

 

[cecc]

Really Really nice.

Whacked on a spray cover and chain guard in one.
I have the hopper built from cardboard and it fits together nicely so this weekend I am going to get some alloy sheet and build the feed hopper.



Cheers
Brad

 

[Jaros]

Do you need a licence to drive it??

 

[cecc]

coming along nicely.

 

[aushunter]

This weekend I started the Hopper build and I am going to get it welded up at work.
I can almost smell the gold going thru this thing. I had water going thru it also on the weekend but I need to fine tune the water jets to be pointed just right to get maximum washing/spray.



Get this done , then I will sort out the sluices and waste shute.

Cheers

Brad

I can't wait to see this thing going, I reckon it's going to be a pearler.

 

[Hunting the yellow]

would love one of those buckets for digging

 

[aushunter]

I think one loaded bucket of gold bearing dirt would last me a few years.
Especially if it was the Dragline model. :lol: :lol:

Cheers
Brad....

 

[Jaros]

It'll be worth the effort Brad.

 

[yobskin]

Your going to have to bring that up and test it here.....

 

[cecc]

Yeah and then we can get the pattern if you let us, and make one....whadaya reckon Yobsy??? Gotta get one of them.???

 

[cecc]

I reckon one hooked up to a 12v would do the trick??

 

[aushunter]

Added the battery switch this weekend, just a simple toggle switch, I am not worrying about the dual speed.





I need to work out how to do this Utube thingy and get a cuppla vids up on it. :lol:

Cheers
Brad..

 

[Jaros]

You have done a great job- I'd like to see it running also.

[Tribsa 56]

Looks fantastic brad. Great job mate

 

[aushunter]

Hey there Yobs,

I have been thinking about heading up to the Gymp for a day out soon, would be good to catch up and do a bit of digging.
Thanks for the interest fellas, I hope to get it up and running soon.
There seems to be a bit of interest in the dry blower area and I think I might start a design on one of those, maybe a bellows type.

Cheers
Brad..

Changed the waste chute, decided to side dump the waste to the side and when I am finished for the day just run the detector over the mullock to see if I missed any bigger bits.



I should be able to make the waste out of 2 pieces of scrap alloy.

Cheers
Brad
