Nope. Check your PMSelling Spam?
Sorry but we do not allow links to competitive Treasure Forums....Here is the Australian (?) forum where he first introduced the gold churn and the followup comments. (deleted by mod)
I too am looking forward to some field test results showing how well it concentrates the fine gold and other heavies. Care to comment Jack outbush?

No problem.....[emoji106]Sorry. Was not aware.
Thanks for the positive comments Guys .
Although the unit in the video works well ' we are building a better model that will process material faster & be much more efficient retaining ALL the fine gold .

I will not claim credit for this idea as I saw it elsewhere, but, have you considered putting vanes in the classifier section also in order to clear the oversize when you reverse the action rather than having to remove the classifier and dump it?
Although I have not seen the video I suspect its not much different than these videos with the exception that they are powered and not as portable but can move a whole lot more material...
Hello AzViper ,
First off I like these words you use :- “He who builds their own equipment has a better understanding of what works and what does not
I built a unit similar to the gold drum long ago & posted the design on an Australian forum ( date would be there ) , this is it below :-
I tested this unit & found it lost fine gold , I tried a sweep back chain ( second photo ) still the same problem ' that's when I started to design another unit to see if it could be possible for a dry unit to perform close to the best wet high bankers regarding fine gold retention .
As I said before ' the next build will do it all Dry .
Regards
Jack .

Never used one or built one, but I would imagine the angle, speed, and depth of the drum plays a huge part in how the heavies stay in the the drum. I can see how improvements would make the Gold Drum a useful tool in the field though.
