Nice work man, been a while. Is that the same one you built a while back. Last I saw you where headed out to test it, and that was a long while back, should have it fine tuned by now.
Best of luck to you.

Yeah I bet man, I remember your build thread.
So the big question is, how much gold did you get.
But also, how much can she chew up an hour.

I recovered a descent amount. into profit margin anyways.. I will get some pics of some. but I have 3 buckets of 1/8 and less I have not finished yet . the trommel can take 3 ish yards in an hour. That tree stump is massive. its like 20 feet long also. I did not cut it down. it was placed across my road many years ago. I moved it so I could reopen road. I can only cut trees up to 4 inches diameter or less. and I have not even needed to do that.

My fondest memories are of when I got out dredging with many friends all over the country! Now I had to give up on getting out dredging and ended up selling all of my equipment to 1 guy at a big loss to me and one h*ll of a good deal for him! I sure do miss it BUt cant do it anymore!
