I love it and I have no doubt that it would do the job - Its efficiency however would depend on the weight of the stamper feet, its size and how well you make sure the rock is crushed up - if you use it properly it will crush the rock into powder then it will be effective but if you crush the rocks to mere pebbles you will lose more than you get.

Go for it and I will be totally jealous as I think it is just the cats pyjamas - I have half a dozen of those old time motors in the back yard so you have got me hatching schemes - I also have a large amount of quite rich Gold bearing rock also stacked in the back yard.
