Okay not on the motors but on the pumps..
He will actually sell them apart if you speak to him ; all in new condition.

I bet ya he would give me one a bit less or maybe the same price but with free shipping..

I havent seen no mining shop online offering free shipping over not even 100 cash.

 

[omnicron]

Keene has free shipping.

yes it hurt but it was the only way they would sell it! At least it's pretty ! Nice and shines like polished silver....
Hell it thought I beat the flu last night ! My fever got high and I sweat like a pig all night had to change the sheets twice .literally soaked them like a wet towel...
Got in the bath this morning and all the bull started over.... This is day 7.. Kinda getting worried iv never had the flu this long that I remember.. I tried to go to the walk in clinic Friday and thought i was gona have to kill someone ... While going thru the questions she ask if I had any chest pain ? I responded yes when I cough it burns pretty bad..
They would not see me after that told me I had to go to the er and get a EKG ... I bout **** my self .. Never herd anything like that befor.... Was quite clear to me I had bronchitis . As I usually get it with just about any time I get a cough......

 

[omnicron]

That sucks G. I used to get sick all the time but the VA burned me some drain pipes in my sinuses and now I don't get sick as often but when I do...it's usually bad. About 2 years ago I was sick and coughing so hard that I broke my sternum. Now when I bend over and lift something or put it down, I feel my sternum separate. Hurts like a #$#$# but docs tell me its un-repairable.

Ok guys here is a big update... Instead of typing a bunch of crap, a picture is worth a thousand words...




Still have to build my nozzle...need some metal for my sluice and trying to decide on my riffle style...
Waiting on Keene...

Figured I would throw in a pic of my 5yr olds encounter with a lady bug..

 

[panningjack]

Looks good! Can't wait to see it in person

 

[Oakview2]

Good looking rig, keep it up and put that sucker in the water and get some gold for you and your family

 

[omnicron]

Thanks guys. If my pumps show up, I wanna throw her in the water and see how she's floating, both the dredge and my girl
I need to break in the engines and I'm dying to test my water heater. I need to pump water through my box so I can get the water level to set my double screen classifier up. Still lots to do and time is running out....

when building new stuff I always get carried away with trying to get everything right. sometimes too right. I ran into this video a few years ago on a gold dredging forum in new Zealand, I watch it a lot the remind myself that sometimes simple is better.




every time I look at this it gets me back on track. lol I really like this dredge

[omnicron]

So I'm sitting here watching that video waiting for it to sink or capsize lol.

 

[principedeleon]

It looks like he is walking a automatic dredge .. Needs no NM. Just one to walk it around lol

 

[omnicron]

I was just getting ready to call Keene and ***** about my order, was just about to push send and I had a bang on my door. Opened the door and there's this box with a UPS guy walking away...




They must of shipped it Saturday overnight!

 

[Jason in Enid]

Looks a hell of a lot better than the smashed blender that was dropped off at my door!

 

[bill-costa rica]

that dredge looks like it was put together out of spare parts from somebody’s shop. it works really good and moves a lot of gravel. for the cob job it is it all came together to work really well.

I'm hoping for a full test Sunday,
Things to test:
Balance
Water Heater
Break in engines
Check suction via gauge of my omnijet and a quadjet and make adjustments
Water level in sluice so I can cut the sides down

Things I'm working on...Building my double screens. I have to use 1/4 inch screen and found 1/8inch screen BUT its for a fireplace. It's not the right stuff, as its a wire cloth so I have to build a frame with center runners for support. I should of just got the perforated metal but I think % of open area with the screen is more important when feeding water to the undercurrent. Also trying to polish up my idea on making my screens adjustable...
