Mountain Goat Gold Trommel Speeds Up Gold Processing!
Speed up your gold processing work and increase gold recovery with the Mountain Goat Portable Gold Trommel. This unique piece of gold prospecting equipment is aptly named because it can eat almost anything and is light enough to carry up a mountain! The Mountain Goat Gold Trommel is a reverse helix system built on the same principle as the huge mining trommels used by large mining companies all over the world, but this gold trommel is light and portable. Don't confuse this item with gravel pit trommels, though, which are designed to classify gravels.
The Mountain Goat Gold Trommel is a very efficient piece of gold prospecting equipment because the spiral riffles inside of the tube turn and bring the heavy materials up to the high end of the tube while allowing the lighter materials to flow out of the back of the tube as tailings. This system makes the gold trommel self-cleaning, which eliminates the need to break down for clean-up as is necessary in sluice box type equipment. The spiral riffles in the trommel tube are .25 inch deep and spaced .75 inches apart. Screen your placer material to .5 inch or less even though rocks as large as .75 inch will pass through the tube. There is a nugget trap at the low end of the tube which should be checked regularly for nuggets larger than .25 inch. The front legs of this gold trommel are adjustable to increase the pitch but the factory setting is probably the best for getting fine or flour gold. The factory setting has the front legs about 1 inch longer than the back legs. Tests have shown very little loss of fine gold at this setting when a wetting agent such as Jet Dry is used in the system.
The Mountain Goat Gold Trommel is just $695 and one fine piece of gold prospecting equipment no serious prospector wants to be without!
The Mountain Goat can be used in any large tray such as a mortar mixing tub (found at most home improvement stores) with 5 gallons of water which is recirculated by the 750 gallon per hour pump. This gold trommel can also be used directly in a stream and is a very sturdy piece of gold prospecting equipment that is designed to take a lot of wear and tear!
