Heres My Newest Drywasher

[frank]

This is representative of the Drywashers I build they have been going thru an evolution since the first one built. I should be able to get out soon I've been recuperating from surgery.
I just found this coral colored riffle tray cloth and the GOLD really shows up good against it, I'm trying to find a real bright red to use.
Thanks for looking and appreciate any comments / questions.

Hello Frank. I haven't done a lot of drywashing, but that unit looks pretty nice. What kind of motor are you using? I hope you get alot of gold with it. Jimmygoat

HIGH TORQUE GEAR MOTOR.

Hope your recuperation is going well. Can you please help an old West Australian, I am building a dryblower and to save myself reinventing the wheel, I would love to know what brand / model of high torque gear motor you use and where I could buy one. Many thanks in anticipation.

I had the pleasure of seeing a bellows drywasher in action out at a GPAA claim last month. Or maybe I should rephrase and say I had the pleasure of listening to one. Very peaceful when there are no leaf blower models running near by. Very nice creation Frank, excellent gold! Congrats

[GoldinSocal]

Just curious if you built that yourself?

Great looking drywasher, and how much did it cost either way?

Nice gold too, makes me want to get up and go find some.

[frank]

Appreciate the compliments, yes I designed this model and I build them on custom order. Its based on a 1930's hand crank model that has excellent gold recovery. They sell at $400.00, I also build a smaller hand powered unit that folds flat for backpacking or carrying on ATV's and they run $150.00

Frank, great looking machines! , but want to know where you work it where the gold is already cleaned and in a bottle? ;-) Just kidding!

Have the big machine and for a newbie at drywashing found gold with it. Bought the little hand operated one last year, but haven't had a chance to put gold in it yet. Maybe next month?
