We have been using these all winter here in AZ with amazing results, It all started after a long weekend up in Prescott Valley where there was plenty of gold to be found if you can dig it, classify it, and run it...........well after all was said and done that weekend i was beat and not enough of the gold stuff to satisfy my addiction (most reading this knows what im saying)

I wanted to process more dirt in less time and not work so darn hard so i looked at what was available on the market, TROMMELS........Perfect but they dont do enough!!! all they do is classify and send it down the sluice......i wanted more so i built my own trommel with one little twist, Mine has an outer barrel around the trommel with a Reverse Helix Inside that brings all the Gold / Heavies right up into my pan !!!!!!!! then wash's the lighter materiel down the sluice.
No more grueling hard work and this summer i wont be dieing of heat stroke.

We have had such good success with these that a local prospecting shop wanted us to build them some for there customers and treasure club members, As of this week we are putting these on the market for everyone and anyone that wants to process more material and see there gold right away drop into there pan.

Tried almost everything made since the late 60's
Looks great! I'm assuming the trommel spins due to water pressure? And how would it work with, say a 150 GPM pump?

Your gonna need something a little bigger to tow that to the gold fields with??? :icon_jokercolor: I cant imagine climbing a ladder with a bucket of dirt to feed that monster.............lol :tongue3:

Thats a Pretty Cool Unit, Thats about a medium size trommel when it comes to large productions........seen um much bigger! IF only my welder could weld heavy steel like that i would have one in my backyard...
