This wash produced a bunch of small nuggets from metal detecting, so we decided to take some samples with the Keene 140 Drywasher Vac-Pac Combo

  • Thanks for your reply!!! I found a Keene 151 for 575.00 with the motor. I believe that's the best deal I've found. Mesa shop wants 1175.00 for the same unit. If the one that's for 575.00 comes with a briggs motor is this still a good deal?

    Thanks and have a very yellow weekend!! Brad

  • Hey Brad, Great to hear you got a good deal on a drywasher. You might consider joining a AZ prospecting club like the Roadrunner's to learn the ropes more. It's just a matter of time until you find some good color out there.

  • Hey Brad, Today's drywashers are much more efficient than older models, especially the ones the old-timers used. Today with the use of hot air, electro-static and shaking, they can recover micro type gold if the dirt is dry enough. The Keene 140 is a great unit for 1-2 guys to work. One guy can be digging and working the bedrock, while the other guys is shoveling it into the drywasher.

  • Hello ArizonaChristian, This was an open area that we found several years ago. This was in Arizona, but out west. I don't have an videos off hand of the drywashing itself.

    We found about 2-3 Dwt's this day working this small wash.

  • Thanks for your reply!!!! What clubs do you belong too? I joined the GPAA but is this a club claim your on?

  • Although you could have shown the equipment and your find a little more this was a very good video. Thanks.

  • How much material can be moved with the Keene 140 dry washer one person or two

    Also if I'm running the 140 alone and the dry washer is running out of material will I lose gold if I cant keep up with it? Thanks Brad

  • How is the recovery on dry washers. I'm buying on this week. Thank you Brad

  • cool,.. is this your claim?? was this around Prescott az?? do you have any videos of the washing its self??

  • Fun! What part of AZ did you do that?
