Older gold spiral wheel concentrator

[tamrock]

I saw this thing yesterday. The wheel is cast iron and was about 4-1/2 foot in diameter. I don't think you'll be packing this thing around in the hills very easy like you would a plastic one. I'm sure it's more of an industrial stationary model. I wonder how well it worked on recovery of fine's ?

there is one of those in front of a cafe in Georgetown. it is in much better shape. I'll take a picture of it next time i'm there.

The plaque says it was used to clean up hard rock concentrates.
