[QUOTE="MJB, post: 95895, member: 1222"] Thanks fellas, Ryan27, It would be possible to a small degree to use the heat from the motor to dry the material but the rate at which this thing wants dirt I reckon the small amount of heat from the motor would not be able to keep up. The dirt was damp but not enough to clump together and cause troubles. Of course, if it was super dry it would have broken down to finer particles much easier and released more fine gold.....I might have to re-run my tailings come summer. I styled it sort of like a cross between the Keen 140 and the goldbuddy. I had only used a keen 140 once and have never seen a Gold buddy in the flesh but I just had to carefully analyse pictures and sort of come up a something I could fabricate myself using approximate measurements from the memory banks. In the end I guess its probably more like a 140 than the gold buddy but I like to think its mostly my design using tried and proven dry blowing ideas. Cheers [/QUOTE]
