Kids in rural communities get bored. They break things. Torch things. Ask me how I know... (And now, at 68, I regret that foolishness. This one, though, is not on me. I was 6,000 miles away)... 🇬🇧. Fascinating stuff. It amazes me that it wasn't powered by a big diesel generator. I guess that hauling diesel would have been less reliable than 30 miles of cable. Many thanks. 👍
There's a guy shown on that Alaskan gold tv show that got two of these up and working and producing, not without chalanges. Where there's a will,(and a profit), there's a way.
That's awesome to see that someone could come up with that and make it work sad to see it just rot away like that with All the hard work put into it have a great day
This saddens me to see an industry created piece of equipment in this kind of condition because of some vandals who decided they would have a little fun with the fire but at least it hasn’t been donated to the scrap man because he would love to have all these bits for his own money making. It’s too bad there isn’t anyone out there that would buy this to restore it off of the private party if they could get the private party to sell it
Another great and interesting video. I watch Gold Rush religiously every Friday night and have followed The Beets family with their dredge adventures. This one appears to be much bigger. I didn't see any of the dredge buckets. Are they still there?
@@Cast_Iron_Curiosities Those buckets are probably the most valuable part of the whole thing. What amazes me is that the trommel usually had holes in it that only caught stuff over 3/4" so that would mean that there are gold nuggets 3/4" and smaller in the tailing piles. Up in Oregon they won't let you metal detect on the tailing piles. Really pissed me off. I so wanted to go find a nugget.
