Forgive me if im wrong but the mesh looks far too big
Aside from that its badass

Agreed, bad to the bone! Nice gold too.

Well i had 10x10cm mesh but that was too small .the roots etc was stucking the mesh way too much. The 25x25 cm works much better. We did run 12000kg of land on my drommel. The two batteries last 1week . I was supprised . The trucks windscreen motor is good. Doesent use lot of The batteries. I can recomend that . well im allready making new trommel. Bigger The better The bigger the betteeeeeer . Now i have 1.6m long and 600mm wide pipe.

well with the bigger mesh the problem is you may be blowing gold out the back of your sluice
going by centimeters the largest mesh you want to use is 1.27X1.27 cm mesh, otherwise your losing gold

Thaks for reply. Well i dont think that i did los gold. We did test pannings from tailings. There was no gold.

well your sluice box is quite big so that could be why your retaining recovery
so if your getting gold i'd say your unit comes clean
mosty because its awesome

Great idea!! I like the light-weight features, yet it is mechanized. Thanks for sharing this. Very clever...

Nice tommel !

Reminds me of Goodyguy build -in the case of using a plastic pipe-

Looks light weight also
