Going to make myself a couple more of these as my first prospecting trip of the year in just a week away, can't wait, for under a dollar each though you just can't go wrong

When I first started watching your video, I didn't know what to expect, but you've developed a clever little idea from ordinary, readily available items, and you're right that it's cheap to make to boot.

Good luck with it, and thanks for posting your video as it's a great idea for people with very limited funds that want some low-tech inexpensive equipment to get started with.

All the best,

Lanny

Thans, it's a really cheap and easy tool to make and use. I like to try and replicate things that would cost a fortune to buy in a prospectors shop as cheap as possible and I've also made manual gold pumps, hand cranked trommels, miller tables etc (all on my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmAzKcxuOP85BNDdPxwxbg ) and am always thinking of the next thing I could make

Haha, thanks Duckwalk, I've wondered how my "Northern" accent comes across to Americans etc as I don't have the typical "Londoner" posh accent which I'm sure most people presume people from the UK have as I'm at pretty much the opposite end of the country to London. Glad you like the videos though, feel free to share them and pass them about to get them to a wider audience :D
