That's basically what I have but I had the lil fox trommel already from my Gold Cube and am mounting it on my Gold Hog Multi-Sluice. You can buy different barrels for it to match up to the size gold that you have in your area up to a 1/2" mesh barrel. Then it will run on Solar also, it's a great system!

Thank you for your response was looking at the Whippet,Thompson,and Keene 12 volt drywasher's for portability but I think this will be better I can set it up at my cabin and pile up dirt next to it and run it will just have to transport buckets of dirt from the different areas I want to check and price wise the LIL MONSTER is almost half the price of the whippet and a few more dollars than the Thompson and close to the same price as the Keene but I think the production of this unit would out do all of those mentioned.

Which barrel size classification would you recommend to start with I have a lot of clay and caleachi sorry the spelling is not rite but spell checker kept coming up with everything incorrect

We're in Az, where men can be men and they can legally serve straws with your drinks and put your groceries in plastic bags for you, for free... :evil6:

It comes with Gold Hog mats, so they have it set up for them already with the 1/4" barrel. I'm in the process of testing the Dream Mat also to see if I can move up to 3/8 or 1/2" but I don't have a complete answer for that right now. Pics and movies are in production right now though and I'm over in Stanton if you feel like driving to see it. My trommel being shipped Monday, so I'll have it up and running next weekend hopefully.
 

Did not know if we are allowed to post up a link to the LIL MONSTER or not so I did not if someone can let me know I will attach a link to it just did not want to break any rules

I think this is acceptable(?).......When in doubt don't post a direct link but just post the google search.

(Link deleted, posting a search link that leads to non supporting vendors still violates our rules)

Trying to figure out how far Stanton is from the Concho,Snowflake area so I can talk the boss into taking a drive LOL again I appreciate the invite not many people would offer that these days especially not knowing the person they are inviting
I have given some thoughts to inviting some out to where I am just to get some pointers and let them do some detecting on my property but most think you want something from them when you do that and thats just not the case with me I am pretty new to gold hunting and am learning as best I can on my own I know the area in which I live is not known for gold but the indicators here and there are a lot of indicators here tells me there could be but I also believe it to be really small if it is here thats why I started looking at different pieces of equipment to do some testing I already have detectors and I have also talked to a couple of people in this area that has found some gold but they do not hunt for it all the time

but again Mr Lukens thank you for the invite you do not know how much its appreciated
