Gold Mining Wash Plant - Innovations 2023 ! 

good job my brother from another mother .... love the new mods you made on it .... great idea with the shaker deck .....hey thats my line ......and Yeah you did get wet hahhahahahahahhaha ...really nice clean uo too ....can't wait to get back out there ... and as always we samshed that like button real hard and we will see you on the next video so keep'em coming

Hello Allan, long time, no hear. I hope you and yours are well and enjoying life. I am sure lots has been happening in the background over the last 7 months. I know that I have been thinking a lot about how I can build some kind of conveyor or auger to move material from the ground up to the shaker deck. Not only could the material be metered out at different speeds to optimize the shaker deck, but would allow for a lot more automation. What I am now thinking is a 4 inch, or 6 inch, heavy duty plastic pipe of 10 feet, with about 12 feet of auger. The electric motor could be at the top end, pulling material up the pipe, from a hopper on the ground. To keep large rocks from jamming in the pipe, I was thinking of a third separate piece to be a heavy duty steel grizzly bars that would be set up over top of the hopper to keep out stones larger than 1.5 inches or so. This hopper could be filled by hand with buckets or shovels, or by machine such as by a mini excavator or tractor bucket. This 3-piece set would be a nice additional option for those wishing to process a lot more material. Plastic pipe with auger, hopper for auger to pull material from, and the grizzly bar set to keep larger stones out of the hopper. If the tall and the short sides of the grizzly could fold underneath the main flat top, it may be heavy, but would not take up much room. The same with the hopper, if the sides could be folded in it also would not take up that much room. The 10 foot plastic pipe should probably remain a single unit, but the auger wants pulled out of the pipe could be detached in the middle so that each piece would be only 6 feet long. By having the auger motor at the top of the pipe, it could easily draw power from the power panel. The speed controller could also be placed on the electrical panel. Just some thoughts I have been having of what I would want on my gold rattler. I wish you well, looking forward to the next video and gold rattler update.

Fantastic ✅ I feel lucky to have so much water around …. You truly make the best of desert prospecting!

Wow thats awesome allan , looks like the new deck is very succesful gotta get one of those rattlers! Thank you for the great demo!

What a blast fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

You've come a long way with this project over the years! It's looking real nice Allan!

Great upgraded to the Rattler, I like it. It was a very hot summer nice to get out again and do some prospecting. Nice Gold my friend.

Nice Setup! An Added Faucet for a wash down hose would be a bonus! Cheers JJ

You have an amazing invention, thank you for sharing with us all!

Great to see the updates on your washplant

Just started watching your channel. Nice machine. The dewatering deck is very cool. Rare to see such nice people.

Благодарю вас за интересную информацию

What a really awesome setup you have I really enjoyed seeing you run that Thanks for sharing great video

Allan! WOW! I wish I had a claim and could order one! Watching it work was kinda hypnotic. You were talking and the end of the box was bending and flexing almost in a surreal way. AWESOME. You can tell the material is wet, but it almost hovered down the path. It also doesn't seem super loud. So many positives!

here is a gentleman who knows what he is talking about - excellent video. TY

Nice machine design!

Well done 👍 Mate.. Always improving as time goes by.. Thanks 🙏 for sharing..Allan.. Well good luck on your next adventure prospecting. Cheers 🍻 Famo59.. 🤓👍⛏️

Great job .

That's a cool little machine,Thank you Allen great work,very nice

the master and genius of gold mining personal size mining!!! see you soon.

CONGRADULATIONS ON YOUR INPROVEMENT'S

Really like your wash plant, well thought out,

Love the video keep them coming. That machine is great nice gold too.

Very much enjoy watching your videos!

Nice

I don't know why more people don't use suspended or spring loaded hoppers and grizzly screens. The vibration of rocks being dropped down helps clear the hopper and screen via extra vibration. I use a steeply angled grizzly that is spring loaded via the use of bungee cords. It clears extremely well, saving me the time of multiple hand sweeps to clear material. Nicely done on your newest version, looks great!

cool machine

I like the upgrades, I have been watching all your videos on this build. I know that the more you work with it, you will come up with more idea changes. Stay safe and happy hunting.

Someone may have said this before and you might have even done it in the past, but have you tried reversing the rotation of vibrator on the top deck so that material gets thrown up the slope instead of down the slope? My thoughts behind that idea is thatvit will slow the material down on the deck and the heavier materials will stay up on the deck and get washed more and the gold may even work its way up and over the top edge while everything else will be carried down the slope by the water therefore giving the rocks even more time to be cleaned and getting even more of the ultra fine gold off of them. That might allow the use of an even smaller and lighter vibration motor and lower water flow rates, making your system that much lighter and more efficient.

looks like you have a winner Allan! i'm not convinced about the mat's ability to hold gold but the other engineering looks good!i really like the spray bar/action!

Love your improvements, really looking great

Great improvements! The way the water splashes up you do wonder if the frequency could go way down then consider amplitude of the vibration. Could a the vibrator take a reostat to adjust speed? Plenty to experiment with. Wonderful unit as it but always fun to tinker.

Very good equipment. I haven't seen that yet. In the end, the principle of gravity applies. Well done, sir 🇩🇪⚒👍🤠

Really cool machine I like that! Really cool setup!

Like the video and your new design.

Always awesome stuff from Allan as usual.

Nice job Allan!

Good job on the upgrade. One thing when those holes get worn out, you will have to replace the whole assembly with all of them holes in it??? Should have a pop in section there for when the holes wear out they WILL.. and have it slide from underneath on rails with a gasket, so no bolts on top just flush.

Nice Plant Good Job Can't Wate To Get Back Out There 👍👍👍

Nice.😊

Thanks for the kind compliments ! Yes, I will eventually get around to that. A friend has small conveyors at his claim i might use.

Nice machine! Thanks for sharing and also great to see the yellow stuff in the pan at the end. I especially like the water recirculation and filtration steps - should work well down here in Oz in those dryed-out creeks Cheers 🎉

Thanks for showing me the Maverick pans. I thought they looked great so just bought 2 and had them shipped over to Scotland. What I liked was that they look like they'll fit in a rucksack far easier than round pans will...or won't as the case may be. I'm away out looking for Scottish gold on Sunday so wish me luck. Cheers

Looks great Allan!

Well, that was fun. This is the first time I've seen your channel and I really like it. I really like the machine that you have set up. Unfortunately up where I live in New Hampshire things like that in the state parks or national parks are illegal. I loved that pan that you used to get the gold to see where it was and what you had for I have never seen something like that. Okay, thank you

Great mods! 💪🏻👍🏻✨️⛏️

Sweet

Nice job on the upgrades

Good job mate

Thank you for sharing Sir👍 Btw, There must be a Nobel Prize for the incredible work you do Allan!!

Hey Allan, Reese here Gold Seeker. That is pretty darn slick. I like your rattler. It seems to work very efficiently. 👍

Hi Allan, I really like your new rock washer. Who'd a thunk you like to clean rocks. Must have a good cleaned rock market to handle your expenses. Probable more money with X rays. Matt

Allan, I am always impressed by your commitment to this project and that you are sharing this information with us. I still believe that you can create a small conveyor to feed this unit making it easier on your back and likely even faster overall. If this was done then you could also cover the lower end of the shaker deck and lose zero water from splashing out the sides. something to look forward to I guess 😃 Thanks for this channel. (I built your original trommel and it worked as expected.)

Good to hear you're getting ready to go into production. Looking forward to seeing the rattler hitting the market. Are you going to be attending any events at the loud mine in Georgia or other GPAA / Lost Dutchman events in the southeast?

Hi Allan, I just subscribed. I like the water removal set up you have made. I think the upper deck improvements are OK but there is mud coming off with the rocks so you are loosing gold. You would be better with a trommel as it cleans better in my opinion. Nome is the coolest place to go if you get a chance. I attended the GPAA site and it was an amazing experience.

that's awesome, i bet it's not cheep but you still rock

Great stuff Alan. I was thinking at first, why not just use a good trommel. But I think after seeing your whole rig, it is because of the heavy clay material. Anyway, nice innovation and design.

Alan could explain why the vibrators are mounted at a 45 deg on the dewatering section and horizontal on the upper shaker deck?

Possibly reorient the motor and reroute the motor cable to avoid having a loose cable? Even better if the reorientation cause the pay to be thrown back UP the deck.

The black sand actually will wrap around gold. Take the black sand and crush it down to powder then pan it and you will find more gold

Happy New Year 🎉 Allen! Are you currently working on a new water filtration system?

Another thought, while I’m at it. Maybe Minelab Will produce a special production of the GOLD MONSTER 1000, and Call it the GOLD RATTLER 1000. To accompany each unit to check all of the tailings to make sure no gold was missed as it passes through the shaker table. Just a thought…

So when are you going to have that ready for sale

put a little bit of alum in the last filter bucket. put two different riffles in the sluice box.

Allan stainless is soft and with the hole cut in the main plate of the deck the rocks will wear this area out. In the old way you could just replace the plate as needed and change hole sizes if you wished. So just be prepared for those holes to ware out in time.

How do we buy this plant? Do you sell it? If so, please post a link and how much will it be if you don’t make it or are you trying to develop this out understand if this is for the public or just for RU-vid please let me know. Thank you. It looks like a good unit.

Hello Allen, just missed you in Nome I was there the week before. Would have been great to meet you up there. I have been watching you work on this Rattler for a while now. I have two claims in AZ that I could use your invention. Do we have a ballpark of cost or when I can get one? Gene

Excellent Great, how much does it cost to make this product. Is it possible to make and sell this wonderful product?

Hi Allen, have you looked into lamella clarifiers? Or radial flow settlers?

that's a funny looking eco tec

Do you use drip-dry in your water so the minerals that are washed away drop out of the water more easily so you can have a cleaner water to wash your rocks again with the same water

I love this design, very efficient! I'm intrigued with the dewatering deck. What angle do you set that at? It doesn't look very steep.

Love the setup not into desert mining. But if could transfer some vibration into a sluice with miners moss and expanded think catch alot of super fine gold. Work great as a high banker.

Three minor points. Your springs hang inwards so are dampening your range of movements. In Australia several mines have rectangular slots eg 10mm x 20mm for angular gold. Top section against the flow, bottom with. Third, if you can get your vibratory spin to work upwards again the feed flow, slower feed greater clean.

Awesome wash plant, one of the best I've seen in a long time. Is this just a project you built for yourself or is this a machine you plan on putting into mass production?

That's an awesome set up how much are you selling it for

hey allan it was 1980 feb. that eclipse i was telling you about. Im pretty sure it was one of those years been such a long time ago.

Nice setup but unfortunately not better then mine, but I like the idea😊

Interesting machine well done. What is the average water consumption per hour and how long does your original water last per yard

Looks really good. Would love to have o e of my own how much

When/where can I pick up my very own Gold Rattler?

bro, with that clay that you're getting in the filters, if you store it, i'm sure you could sell it

You've proved your point Alan,,now sell me your creation,,I have Cash/Plastic, whatever you want/need

I think you need a little more pitch in that at least another four or 5 inches higher in the front so those rocks will truly roll off of there. You shouldn’t have to help them off of there.

This is a lot late, but the reason that the motor has almost no movement is tgat it is sitting in a vibration null point. A move of an inch would help that. It is similar to the tacoma-narrows bridge. The supports were unintentionally placed at the null points, which allowed the winds to generate a vibratory harmonic which ripped it apart. Watchvtge documentary. It is a great waychbof engineering oops 😁👍

Why dont u add a conveyor to feed the gold rattler?

❤ola Allen great job know what ypu mean about H2O here in CA😊

🎉good morning. Solar eclipse this Oct 14th 2023 9:13 am to 12:29pm. Anyway last time I saw full solar eclipse 1979. Long time ago.

What is the final cost of this?

Well done...are you planning to sell this machine? Very interested so let me know please.

great, a few days work and thousands invested to make 25 bucks nice!

What are the dimensions [LxWxH] of your final creation?, minus the trailer. I want to place it inside the bed of my trunk on a retractable/100% extendable platform.

How much is this unit?

Hi Allan. How can I get in touch with you

I do understand the whole game of being out there enjoying life and all, but to only find that tiny amount after the cost of this unit and hauling and setting up and breaking down to pack up. I can’t justify it for a gram of gold. Each to their own I guess. I’ll stick to detecting.

Traduction en français

Allan, it looks good.

Are you selling these beauties?

Grizzly leaving to many large rocks seems to me.

In Ozstraya hobby gold fossikers cant use motorised sleuths on govt land ect only on private or home your ok bit gold out of Ballarat vic if you know where i,m told nuggets roll out of hillsides after rain storms detector be my 1st try pannings hard yakka
