That is a nice piece of metal work.
Looks fairly portable too.
Where is the water source?
Good clean up too.:goldpan:

See the 55 gallon drum under the table. It recirculates I've taken it to the field but mostly I just collect dirt and bring it home.
 

It's got some water spillage issues but I can fix that. It's a lot faster than the old way I was doing it with the garden hose and a sluice box.

That is a lot of dirt you collected to take home. You are def not messing around with the shovel!
 

That was 5 gallon bucket, 2 at a time, out of this hole.

Right, no shovel.
 

Finished plumbing, once the glue dries its time to test.

I like your rig:icon_thumright: but that hole looks like a fine place to collect snakes. :icon_scratch:

When I started, that hole wasn't there. Now it's about 3' deep. When the wash runs again, it should be a gold trap.
 

A sophisticated gold contraption rig , looks great and works as in the pics excellently :headbang:
 

Seems to be working well. Hard to tell from the pics, but it appears as if you are running at rather steep angles. ?? Just an observation. Dennis
 

you are right... I was loosin gold so that unit is retired now.
 

Amazing and awesome! But.... was it worth the expense and time?
 

It sure was. I've probably built 5 or 6 different wash plants since that one. That was my first and you know you always love your first the best.
