    Great job on the wash plant. Thanks for pioneering the way I bought a 80 pound shaker motor and it looks like it will work for what I am going to do. Thanks Allan.

    Thank you for going through your cubic yard of material. I'd actually mentioned it in a comment from your how many buckets are in a cubic yard, but edited it out after you said you'd go through it. My call for the how many buckets is closer to 50 like your friend mentioned due to less compaction than its' natural state.

    Hey Allan, Love the evolution of the plant! It looked like the trommel with the hopper was getting things comparatively clean, is the table more effective? What would you say is the downside to the shaker... obviously Way easier to make one, and transport... anything the trommel does better? Why arent they more popular? Fantastic progress!

    Hi Brad. Thank you for you comments and compliments ! I still favor the trommel, even though it's higher maintenance and limited to feed size. Shaker deck can easily handle larger rocks, which my goal, to wash all rocks. Downside to shaker is rocks don't tumble as well, making it challenging to clean the underside. The shaker does not occupy as much height comparatively. Therefore, designing a trailer mounted wash plant (my end result) it's critical to manage height for ergonomic reasons. Shaker occupies half the height as a trommel. In my next video, the dewatering trommel is replaced by a new revolutionary dewatering shaker deck. It's far more efficient. Stay tuned !

    A cubic yard is how placer gold is assessed in the US. It's more accurate measure than a couple buckets. Furthermore, not all ground is perfectly the same. Just got some nice gold with nugget and pickers from same source this past weekend. So, you be so rigid in your judgment. That's how mining is. You have to take the not-so-great along with the good parts.

    @@allansgoldmining, thanks for the response. I'm not trying to be rigid in my judgment, I just want to know the thought process that a prospector, like yourself, would go through to choose one location over another. I'm a relatively new subscriber, so I followed your advice and watched your video on determining the number of buckets per ton. You certainly did a lot of work for our benefit.

    It would be financially viable if could market it to artesian blacksmiths that make Damascus pattern objects. Then th hey can sell their items as locally sourced or from a certain region. To try to do it on a commercial level to sell to foundries you would need to be able to do tons and tons an hour and send it out in large dump trucks every day

    I don’t think I would care too much for that maverick pan. I did try one at a gold outing but only panned a couple of times and had to give it back to its owner. I could tell in this video you was having a hard time getting it down to a minimum and once you got it down there seemed to be too much to work with in that small square pan. You said you couldn’t bring it down and further because the gold was about to come out. Tell me, does that happen a lot? Because I was thinking I may order me three of these for me and the friends for this season but after seeing this video I’m thinking I may not. Didn’t really want to spend the money on something I wouldn’t use much. We all know we need our money to buy other gold toys! 😂

I do a rush job for the video, to demonstrate the gold. Yes, I could tap it more to bring all the fines up to the top edge, but really no need to, because I will clean it all with my Blue Bowl or Miller Table. If you watch my latest videos, you'll see the gold piled up nicely at the top. BTW, I've re-panned my cons and found no visible gold. Thanks for watching, and best of luck to you. 🤠⚒️⛏️👍
