What is this equipment?

[MrAuction]

Interested in any assistance you can give me, I am an auctioneer in western Colorado and I have this equipment. My guess is a trommel and shaker screen of some sort, but not sure?

No idea what the bottom image is, the top one is a ball mill meant for doing a batch of ore.

If the drum has openings at both ends the mill is probably continuous feed, which would make it a more desirable mill.

Open the hatch so prospective bidders can inspect the lining.

The lines near the bottom of the tank look as it they may have been used to inject air.

Could be a home made flotation cell.

I've seen a DIY Australian gold separation tank. Has a tube for water injection, elevated drain hole near top of water surface.
