Reverse Helix Trommel Test - GOLD!

Not an overly exciting video but if you are thinking of one yourself then this will be informative for you.

So if it isn't working very well on sapphires how will it work on gold? This video is the first time we have used the trommel on just the golden good stuff and it works very well. Still some bugs to figure out. Made several modifications to help the machine work more efficiently.

Be sure to check out my other mining videos. At this point I think I am one of the only ones showing a reverse helix tromel in operational detail grinding away on actual material.

Install a spraybar and with careful adjustment of water flow and angle of drum you should be able to separate gemstones from lighter material.

@MrGringoPy Ya you'd think a hell of a lot more water would flush the lights, yet allow the heavy's to rise out the top...
