maiden voyage of the dry difting trommel.......SUCCESS!!

[port ewen ace]

OOOPS!!!--- sifting

ran some heavy loads of combined tiny, medium and large fragments-- sand came out pristine under the screen and all glass went to the tailings end. plan is to make a 45 degree feed hopper to let gravity feed the cylinder. lower speed increases sand yield & cleaner tailings.


Tony Beets, call me.... Parker--- stop by with Tyler Mahoney from Down Under--- and we can dicker--- over the licensing contract

my co-CEO spotted a round piece protruding from our virgin paydirt hole-- so we dug it--- this...... IS A BOTTLE




also scored 3 more glass stoppers. not bad for half an hour--- then the RAIN HIT

I decided to see if i could do a better job and spend less money on the same style trommel....then thought why not make two..
both cost me under $35 each to make the large one (second picture) will get a 12 volt dc motor the other has a belt pulley just incase

with Frank digging and me on the crank, the bottle count will soar over the current total of 99 winners. now we appear to have 3 trommels -- this is what ya get when 2 old dudes get a plan-=-- we just gotta make changes & learn how to get more gooder at bigly winning---

eat yer heart out Tony Beets--- they were cheap to build and not as ugly as your wife & daughter. if anyone needs broken glass ---- we can sell you aboooot one yard of our tailings-- tinkle tinkle, broken bottle
