[QUOTE="Highway1, post: 575144, member: 1171"] Now that Covid restrictions allow Regional Victoria to drive around, I went out to a spot that has had some old time gold diggings and put 6 buckets of soil and gravel through the Dry Blower. I was impressed with the performance of the blower I need to get some experience at using it, mainly to allow the right amount of soil to flow over the riffles. At the end I worked any soil down onto the calico and finally ended up with just under half a gold pan of soil, I washed this with some detergent and found one small spec of gold that I needed a snuffer bottle to pick it up. So I guess it works, I am yet to test pan some of the soil that has gone through the blower checking for gold that went over the riffles. I sieved the soil down to 1/4 inch and used a wooden mullet break down the clods of clay which was very time consuming. Cheers [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVExulxGauY[/url] [/QUOTE]
