Great googely-moogely, a desert-dredge. What a fantastic idea!

very nice unit. reminds me of the Ez Pickens Dry Blower.
my mind is failing me, but there might also have been one called gold tempest.
i don't see a grizzly on there. that would definitely help.
also an adjustable, by way of sliding feed ramp plate might be good.
how is the dumper unit working. by way of gravity?
interesting you use bellows instead of a blower.

The EZ pickins was the inspiration for this unit , my first try was a vibrating rifle tray- no concentration with this set up ,
2nd try was a blower unit worked good for 5 - 10 min until the small dust particles clogged the back side of the cloth ,
3rd try I put a large air cleaner inline to remove the dust but it cut down airflow to much ,
I did put in a screen inside to keep larger rocks from going into the drywasher ,
the dumper is gravity, when the weight of the dirt is more than the power of the suction the gate will open .
