Hey

Here is the latest piece of kit to come out of my workshop - 500mm trommel set up for fine gold recovery, just waiting on screen mesh and a new shovel.

is it for cleaning up large amounts of cons? or just for shoveling/small digger?

Hey

It is set up to work on some large flood gold beaches I have on my claim, water velocity using a dredge is too high to gain effective recovery so will run fine mesh in the trommel over a couple of wide boxes. Shovel or small digger to run it. Also have some beach gold testing to carry out for a friend.

Cheers DGR
