Looks like it would take a bit of time to set up and also take up a lot of space to transport.
Be interesting to see what results they get for their efforts .

yeh for sure, i think its more weight these guys are concerned with when they carry this stuff a few miles down deep valleys. cool use of plastic though 
What a winner.feed rates a bit lw but that could be tickled with
I kike the idea of perspex so you can see whats happening. Definitely would need to be upscaled to handle your shovel kman

Had to laugh at the tiny rocks coming out the end of the trommel, (he was only testing the machine of course) hope he dosnt plan on putting any of those big rocks through the machine though. Good effort at building his own trommel, there's lots of satisfaction in building your own stuff.
I agree think its teh work thats gone into it that makes it cool. Asnfor processability one of those highbankers dialed in properly would process 10 times the material
Yep the perspex is a exellent idea and i think that shovel would proberbly weigh more than his whole set up i. Would have no quarms lugging that up and down steep banks all day

Hmmm...I like it, but like has already been said, it's not designed for a high feed rate.
However I'm not sure about the drop in height has in the sluice sections...perhaps if the water fell into a small catch tank that overlows down the sluice. Or perhaps a reverse ramp riffle.
But in saying that, he has plenty of length there and it sure is a skillful build no question. I'd be stoked if I put that together, and no doubt he catches plenty of pretty yellow!
