Homemade Trommel

Found this on 1 of my other prospecting forums, and plan to add it to my list of projects to build as it's cheap, and I have tonnes of 45mm PVC pipe lol

Looks like a little ripper!!. Should be easy to make even for a novice like me Mick

Looks good, wonder how it would go with the clays.. might need an improvised spray bar or such..

Cheers, Tone

I reckon if you want a spray bar, you might be able to plug the handle end of the drive shaft(pipe) and drill the spray holes in that, and extend the bottom end of it out a couple of inches and plug a rotating coupling onto there and use that as your water jet spraying outwards from the centre.
