Ore feeder build/design 14129 4
Started by offthewall747@gmail.com
Hey Guys I need some help here. I have built a 3.5' x 7.5' gold concentrating shaker table similar in design to the MBMM design and I have it working well. The one area that I am finding challenging is building an automatic ore feeder for the table. I feel that the table should be capable of processing about one ton an hour. I have a good selection of metal fabrication/ machining equipment for a build but I believe in the KISS principle in anything I build. I would have included a picture but ...

Started by JimAu9@gmail.com
Anyone have any thoughts or experience with the Keene DW212V Drywasher. It's the small/medium size puffer, runs on crank manual or small motor. There's a used on in pretty good shape that I might have a lead on but don't know if it's worth looking into or a waste of time.
Thoughts
Thanks fer the help.

Desert Forx & Blue Bowl 13424 1
Started by a.minor@comcast.net
Thanks, guys, for your info. With Reget, I have tried everything, adjusting water and angle of wheel, still no luck. Table is level, etc. Will continue to pursue the fine gold. I don't care for basic panning figured either the DF or BB will give me faster results. Again, thanks guys.

Desert Fox appears not capable of getting small gold out. Tried everything recommended to no avail. Same with blue bowl. Frustrating.

Desert Fox 3156 3
Started by a.minor@comcast.net
Tried everything, no luck. My paydirt is so concentrated, almost like dust. Tried even heaver, concentrate no luck. Followed instructions in handout, still no luck. I am convinced, in order to retain gold, the concentrate has to be nuggets size gold, rather than small fine gold. I would question the video's that show gold running to the top and dropping in the little basket. At this time, would not recommend the Desert Fox. Anyone who has had had luck processing small gold, please let me know.

Hey, A GPAA member for two years. Living in NOLA I have never had a chance to use my membership. I have only prospected in N.C. Tenn. and Ga. I know myself to be a “king of overkill”, by the time I build what I need there is usually a cheaper and maybe better factory model available but that will not stop me! I hope to head to Az. NV. N.M. in the spring. I see from reading here that the ground is getting pretty wet but maybe by the time I arrive it will be dry enough for drywashing. I can’t ...

Arizona Prospecting 4958 11
Started by Stancalavan1964@gmail.com
I have been Prospecting the Arizona desert now for a couple of years with really no success. I did buy a small hand puffer, dry washer but have had no success finding ground worth using it. I have been mining in the Morris town area claims. I know there must still be some gold out there on those claims, just need a little guidance on where to look for it. I tend to migrate towards the small washes and I guess that's not where to go since I have found nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciat...

Membership card 4465 6
Started by josh92198@gmail.com
Hi all, I’m a new member in the so cal area. I tried my best to find the answer to my own question but need some help. I just joined and I am a college student right now, so I took the monthly payment option for the membership. On the webpage, it does show that it doesn’t include a membership card, but I have access to the claims etc. I’ve seen you need a guide, and your membership card with you while prospecting. So how can I gain a membership card Any help is appreciated. Thank you
