I know the angles are all jacked up, I was only testing how well it moved material. I only had an hour to set it up and run it before I needed to hear back to town.


2 feet was too much head height

getting better, but water moving too fast

It looks to have been a beautiful day at the beach. Did ya get some?

I'd try to avoid the whirlpool sucking air, it'll cut down the suction quite a bit.

Looks like everything worked very well for you.

Haven't panned it out yet. I just let the whirlpool happen to show the power

Looking good. What type of mat, etc. are you using as capture media?

Hope you get on some of those black sand seams like seen at Cape Disappointment and make a killing.

Rough top, moss and 1/2" raised expanded

Thanks for those videos! Very interesting, to say the least. The gold from that sand must really be fine.
