Testing my homemade drywasher

[Bodfish Mike]

Ran a 5 gallon bucket of dirt from a spot I was getting gold through my homemade puffer drywasher.

Here's the gold from the first run

Heres the gold from the 2nd run.

Looks like I got about 80% of the gold on the first run

1) is it so noisy you need advil?

2) Maybe even more gets past run 2?

3) can you figure a way to get it all (nearly) in one run? Change angle speed, time or something?

4) How much material was involved?

My bet is the advil was for the shoveling muscles after. It normally is for me.

1) is it so noisy you need advil? ------ No motor = no noise

2) Maybe even more gets past run 2? --------- Yea I might try a third run

3) can you figure a way to get it all (nearly) in one run? Change angle speed, time or something? ---------working on that

4) How much material was involved?
