Small portable jig options?

[specksandflecks]

Looking for options and ideas for a small Jig. I've found a couple, looking for a couple more. Prices on the ones I've seen are from 2,250 to 5k. The less expensive one is made of fiberglass to save weight. Looks to be a capable jig made by a knowledgeable miner. Would post a link but unsure about forum rules? Any advice or other options out there?

I built my own. It's capable of running 275lbs of sized material/hour. The jig bed is 4" x 14", and the whole unit runs off a 12v battery. I also built a rotary auto-feeder for it this winter. I haven't had it out yet this spring, so no video yet. The jig weighs about 40lbs, and the auto feeder about 20.

Sounds like the perfect set up. Any plans to sell them?

No...I built it as I went along, so to speak, so don't even have any plans drawn. It took me sevral weeks to make. Works really well. I've been using it for gemstones...haven't tried it for gold. Another member was talking about building one just like it...don't know how far along he is. I lost all the pics I had when my hard drive crashed last winter. Need to take some more, and some video of it operating.
