No, he prefers to spend half a million for a 35 year old abandoned washplant that is terribly engineered and will never work, only to abandon it again. For this much money he could buy one or two of these and would finally have highly efficient and reliable washplants.
If you know what your looking at here, it's worth alot more than its price tag. It's by far the best plant I've ever seen. State of the ART, for sure. Trapper Scotty, Alaskan
This is exactly what I need in Alaska I'm guessing 150 yards an hour. Gonna build it myself to smaller or equal scale if I have to. Back to the basic bucket dredge concept in modern form. Sluiceifer on floats, BAD ASS !
Exactly what I'm always thinking when I see this Plant. Very small and short sluce runs and there is no "lower screen" like on the screen decks where 80% of gold is caught before even getting into the sluce runs outside. And the trommels don't have these. Looks like it could loose a lot..
No he didn't. At the last season, when they went to Australia to allegedly buy a new used washplant (what was never intended) they decided at the end, that they built their own washplant. And guess what, the small model of the washplant that they made for him over night (yeah, sure) showed exactly the Macon SD-600-S, which is already available for a long time and not built by them!
Didn't Gold Rush say that Parker Schnabel "designed" this plant? I thought that was a bogus claim from the get go, but why would the show try and give Schnabel credit for someone else' work?
generally, a wash plant is all the components together the best example of this was season one's wash plant with a bunch of different parts that might be what they meant
