digging for gold with a little comfort and style makes for a good dig! comments and suggestions for the sluice are welcome.

I would like to hear more about the conveyor belt - never seen one in this situation. Thanks

my buddy Daniel made it from scrap that he found in the desert. it is made from a scrap canopy frame, it has a half inch enclosed screen box that is built on at the bottom of the conveyor belt that feeds the dirt on to the belt. it is powered by a battery operated scooter motor. I have asked him to make me one since I used his in the video and it beats the bucket classifying method!
