Waou f.... Nice machine ❤❤😮
Thanks bro. I have a trommel build series if you want to make one. 👍
Genius design , to wash 1,000 pounds of material with 100 gallons of water is amazing , great design , thanks for sharing here . Happy digging and good luck .
Thanks for the great compliments ! Glad you enjoyed the video. Currently designing a new trailer mounted wash plant that will use less than 100 gallons to process a cubic yard (2,200 lbs.). Best of luck to you prospecting !
This is brilliant!
Thanks !! Check out my trommel build series if you want to make one. 👍
Wow, it seems like just yesterday that I found you. Thank you for your videos.
I hope to see your new videos soon.

Nice build Allan, thanks for sharing :)
Great job Allen. 😁🤙
Very nice set up. Thanks for the video
Nice job! Great use of materials!!
Awesome stuff Allen! Love the wash plant, love and appreciate the hard work that you do, showing greenhorns like myself and others ways to get going with common hardware store items and the insight behind it
Thank you for your kind compliments. Glad help inspire folks to enjoy gold prospecting. Best of luck to you !
Pure Genius! You Sir, "Rock"!! Thank you for sharing?
awesome video thank you for sharing...
Nice work love the video
cool design i like the water recycle concept
Great concept and creativity
That is the most awesome homemade wash plant that I’ve seen yet! Good job bro💯🙌🏻
Thanks for the nice compliments ! Please check out the other trommel videos on my channel. BTW, do you know there's a movie "Gods Army ?" Good luck prospecting !
I love DIY stuff and this is real a nice one.
Very good description cool 😎
Thanks Larry. Be sure to check some my latest videos when you get a chance. Thanks for watching !
that's awesome thanks for sharing!
Nice setup!
Great job!!!!
I love your budget portable setup! Looks like it’s pretty efficient.
Thank you Sir. Glad you enjoyed watching the video. Check out my three part series on how to build one. 👍
@@allansgoldmining I did. I added you to our DirtyMinerTV playlist. Hopefully it helps your views explode!
Thanks Bro ! Much appreciated !
That has got to be the coolest set up I've ever seen. My hat goes of to you.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Please check out my channel for more !
very clever on the water reclaimation
Thanks Steve. Please check out my videos over the years and watch the evolution up to 2021 !
Sweet setup 😎
That is quite a set up you got there, and that is a nice amount of gold.
Thanks ! Enjoyed watching some of your videos too. Good luck in your adventures !
that is class well done great build and vid thanks for showing us
Thanks for the compliments. Glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck in your prospecting adventures !
Very nice setup 👍👍
Your setup reminds me of a handyman who rides around here in a well kept old panel truck with 'Damn Foolish Notion' painted on the sides. He does pretty well and is proud to tell you his wife came up with his company's name.
Ha ha ! Great story ! He must be a gold miner too ! 🤠⚒⛏👍
I love watching the adaptations of this type trommel. I know I will use this process in the future when I make it out west to do some prospecting.
I'm looking forward to digging in something other than red clay !
Alan I wish you the best of luck out in the gold fields and thanks for sharing the details of your wash plant.
I wish I had seen this video before I built my small trommel, I just have to build one of these along with the water filtering portion. We have been under drought conditions on our club's claims for several years now.
Thanks again
Thank you for your kind compliments. Wish you good luck in your prospecting adventures ! In one of the washes on my property, I have found good gold in red clay. Very difficult to extract with a dry washer. Wash plant definitely makes a difference ! Due to high silt content in that clay, the feed rate needs to be reduced to give time for the dewatering trommel to catch up.
Wow, nicely done! What a set-up- good work!
Thanks for your nice compliments ! Glad you enjoyed the video. Please check out my channel for more wash plant videos as well as the latest Upgrades. Best of luck to you prospecting!
wow that looks nice good job , keep going.
Perfect setup just keep lookin and postin ))
Thank you ! Check out more wash plant videos on my channel. Good luck prospecting !!
nice work!
Excellent design! Looks like it works very well! Great job!
Thanks for your compliments ! Check out my new wash plant video with the latest upgrades. It's working very well, and recovering good gold !
Hey Allan. Love your Trommel. You might also note a dewatering trommel can help anybody whose claim has a rehab requirement. You can do a series of pits. Trommel your dewatered slurry into one of the pits you are done mining. Perhaps add some seedling, spread local vegetation, or indigenous saplings. This is an easy way to claim some rehab time or even just do a good deed.

That’s a pretty awesome setup you built!!! Great job!!
Thank you !! Glad you enjoyed it !! Please visit my channel for more videos, including my Trommel Build tutorials on how to make one. Best of luck to you ! 🤠⛏⚒👍
nicely done Allan, really like the de-watering screen.
Jeff and Slim
Thanks Jeff ! Hope to see you out there sometime. Good luck !
Ask Jeff Williams yeehaw love your videos
Ask Jeff Williams do you plan on coming back to northern nevada? love your videos, thanks paul
@kimdaviscali You clearly have no clue what your talking about....
If you ever got the chance to meet Jeff Williams youd know hes a great guy. Youre just jealous hes living the dream because he knows what hes doing.
Beautiful adaptation of Mike's Trommel ......
Thanks Mike ! When I embarked on this project a couple years ago, I was surprised to find a multitude of DIY variations. Awesome to think there are many folks out there enjoying the same. Best wishes on your gold prospecting adventures !
Love the ingenuity. Well done!
Thanks Mike ! Wish you best in your prospecting adventures !
Buenas Tardes Mr Allan,soy de venezuela, cacique indian,tenemos mina de oro,pero en venezuela hay que trabajar,sin permiso,el gobierno no esta dando consesiones para trabajar;quisiera saber como se Construye ese sistema Whas plant,por que es facil de transportar,me puede ayudar por favor como hacerlo;mi E-mail gleenk-jimenez@hotmail .com ;puede darme informacion si quiere venga a trabajar buscando oro,con migo;saludos Gleen
Thanks for sharing life with enthusiasm,i likie
nice setup allan
Thanks for sharing. You're a gem mate.
Thanks ! Glad you enjoyed the video. Please check out my channel for latest upgrades and other equipment. Best of luck to you prospecting !
Wow that is really cool it looks like it works You should let everyone know that when recirculating material you will lose about 35 gallons per yard. If it is hot or windy that number will increase. Looks like a simple quality product.
Mark
Mark, I'm flattered to hear from a popular mining manufacturing company. Thank you for the kind compliments and comments. As you can tell, I'm using one of your A52 Sluices. I really like the fine ribbed matting on the head of the sluice. Traps a lot pickers ! Your comments regarding water usage is correct. I've also noticed if the material contains considerable moisture (substantial rain this past month) the water replenishment is reduced. Bone dry summer material will definitely be a different story. Thanks again. Best wishes in your prospecting adventures !
Brilliant design! thanks for showing us mate best of luck!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Best to you gold prospecting !
Big Nugget Claim
I Moved to the Country to A GOLD Mining Claim ! that a literal Gold mine claim. .. building included
it's a Gold mine with real gold and opals! That's Right it's there for you to have we just needed find it but I have good idea to where it is...!
I am looking for volunteers and donations to get things started. THERE IS GOLD HERE ON THIS CLAIM AND 50% CAN BE YOURS JUST COME OUT HELP ME FIND IT! limited partnership available Now!
www.gofundme.com/treasure-chest-gold-mining-co
Treasure Chest Mining Co. hopes to build a solid reputation throughout California's Gold Country as the best of the best. We have high hopes to be leading professionals in gold prospecting and our new California gold rush and it's rich history.
We've have spent many years perfecting our techniques, improving our knowledge, and tailoring our programs to meet the needs of the hundreds of guests who will visit our camp each year.
Time-Period costumes and 49er accents are welcome.... but required . We are fun filled week- end getaway and maybe strike it rich ...!
You our guest receive special training to insure that every individual enjoys a remarkably genuine and comprehensive gold rush experience. No other gold prospecting company can stake that claim!
WHAT I NEED IS DONATIONS TO FUND THE PROJECT AND IDEA
My idea is run bed and breakfast mining camp experience complete with wood structure tent sites a dinning/mess tent for group meeting meals and bath house.
The experience hands ming old new and alternative methods seminars on mining techniques from local prospectors and geologists.
Breakfast and lunch and dinner included 1 donation of $20 is good for one complementary day and night stay with 3 meals with reservation 10 day prior to your visit.
THE GOLD CLAIM IS HAZEL ROCKS LOCATED ON HAZEL CREEK JUST OUT SIDE DUNSMUIR CALIFORNIA
In order to do this I am going to need help from all you miner types , in return I will provide you with life time membership to camp 1 night for Free deal includes 3 meals on my claim for a $20 donation donation under will receive a Treasure Chest Mining Co. Member Support Certificate
The claim located near Mount Shasta off I 5 and Sims Rd just outside Dunsmuir California.
We support all and campers with willingness to help with mining operations on the claim.
DUDE! That's amazing!
👍👍👍👍Very creative.
very good! Like this system.
Impressive! Thank you for sharing.
Now please just invent a gold recovery table for final processing of fine gold.
Thanks for the compliments Steve. Many years ago (1980's ?) Action Mining came out with a Gravity Wave Table that was very effective for fine gold recovery. They wanted way too much $$$, so I copied the designed for my own purpose. Worked exceptionally well recovering fine gold from our lode mining adventure. Perhaps you can do the same ?
I'd say you have done everything right. Recovery using water is much more efficient than dry washing. Electric motors are more efficient and reliable than gas engines. The tailings is where the gold is at because over the years the oversize that went through the old timers dry washers has been broken down by weathering. Nice design of equipment. My guess is that you had years of experience prior to this project or you did a lot of research. I have run a larger battery/solar trammel for over ten years, it is the only way to go. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the kind compliments Steve ! It takes more effort to set up, but "going wet" is definitely the way to go. You are correct regarding the tailings. Most of the good gold is on the surface and easy diggings. I have a theory that the bedrock material was the last thing they processed, which naturally would be on top of the pile. They also never had the convenience of a gas powered shop vac to suck up the bedrock crevasse. Finding lots of good "pickers" down there ! I've been a lode and placer miner for over 35 years as a hobby. I also build model airplanes and telescopes. Hope you've been successful with your wash plant over the years, and wish you good luck in your prospecting adventures !
It's so beautiful 😍
Very good. Liked from Brazil. Exemple for word.
That's quite an impressive machine.
Genius brother. Nice work
Nice video Sr. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Thanks Erwin. Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck prospecting !
You sir are a true hacker, love your machine! Been thinking about getting into gold mining and this is almost exactly how I envisioned it.
Go for it Tyler ! Plenty of yellow metal still out here ! Good luck to you in your prospecting adventures.
WOW Allan wickid cool machine and video love it
Thanks Frederick ! Glad you like it. This was my first wash plant video. It's amazing how many viewers have watched it over the past three years. Seems to be a lot of interest out there. 🤠⛏⚒
This is awesome!!! I have to build this!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I really appreciate it!!
Thanks Jeff. Much appreciated ! Check out my Trommel Build series. Step by step construction ideas. Best to you on your build, and good luck prospecting !! 👍👍👍
Smart engineering and conceptual approach....
Ingenious. One suggestion. Paint that white PVC to keep the sun off of it. Over time, white PVC will turn brittle and break in ultraviolet light.
Actually, the plastic buckets will rot faster in the sun. However, my unit stays in a shed when not in use. So, it should last a very long time. Thanks !
@@allansgoldmining I was mainly talking about the structural part. The white pvc pipe
Great unit and thankyou for showing it off. Could have used something like this last year.
Thanks Mark ! Good luck in your prospecting adventures !
Cool setup man! I like your finishing / clean-up pan. I’ve got two of those and they’re great! Happy prospecting!
Love your channel name ! I'm a pilot too. Would like to try flex wing or paramotor. Thanks for watching ! It was my first wash plant video I ever posted on TH-cam. A lot has evolved over the years ! Best of luck to you prospecting. 🤠⚒⛏👍👍👍
Really awesome video😊👍✊️✊️
Thanks for the nice compliments James !! Glad you're enjoying my channel ! Wishing all the best in your prospecting adventures ! Cheers !! 🤠

Jimmy 🙄😊
thats brilliant thanks for sharing this
Thanks Karl. Good luck finding that "big one !"
Two thumbs way up! I need to get something like this set up!
Go for it, Dean ! Not hard to build. Good luck finding yellow metal !
Very ingenious! Very impressive! Good Luck to you.
Thanks Egon ! Same to you in your prospecting adventures !
I have criticisms that I will keep to myself. But I enjoyed your video
Glad you enjoyed the video John. Please check some of the other wash plant videos on my channel. Maybe help relieve some of your concerns ?
Thank you 😊👍.
Clever system .
nice job.
SWEET, I brought the view count to 2K!! Hello Allen! Joseph here from the YFRC. Allow me to say before your in, WELCOME TO THE CLUB.
Thanks for your kind words. Glad to be a part of this group. Amazing how many folks out there are interested in gold prospecting !
@@allansgoldmining Your very welcome Allan. Yes, we are part of a rather large community. Gold prospecting is very much alive again. Looking forward to your videos.
that is so Cool , well done my friend :)
Thank you. Glad you liked the video. Good luck with your prospecting adventures.

Thanks Ron ! Best to you in your prospecting adventures !
I really like ur set up sir.. nice job
Thank you sir ! Good luck prospecting !
Great engineering, just like the large sluices
Thanks good vid
Awesome set up bro. All you need is a Renogy 100 watts 12 volts monocrystalline foldable solar suitcase hooked up to those batteries to keep them in good working order for endless run times. Best of luck to you.
Thanks Joe ! Yeah, I've been thinking about something like that. Also considering a wind generator. Currently, the two deep cycles give me about 7 hours of power. By then I'm tired shoveling ! LOL ! Good luck with your prospecting adventures too !
Great washplant. Thanks for sharing.
Vou have a new subscriber. CR
Thank you ! Enjoy the channel. Will posting new video soon.
Wow nice on the Trommel one of the best Idea's I have seen. I have an invention in my head for dry & wet
Thanks for the compliments ! Wish the best on your wash plant design. Post a video when you get it running. Also, check out my video on how to improve dry washer recovery.
@@allansgoldmining I do that
@@allansgoldmining I do that
very clever sir
nice I made one kind of like that good idea with the wiper motor. I got mine hook up to my jobe sluice and a gold cube and a hand crank. Great for packing in to thouse places way out there.load the dolly and go.
Josh Fulton Thank you for sharing. Fun stuff, isn't it ? Good luck finding the big one !
Great video Allan. Very unique design the way you are filtering the water through the bottom trommel. !/2 gram per yard is fairly meager unless you're able to crank out the yardage. The part I wouldn't like about reprocessing tailings is that there is little likelihood of ever hitting a nice nug. The nice part about it is the digging is much easier than virgin material.
Maybe you'll find a nice stretch of unworked bedrock full of big stuff. Nice work. Keep it up!
Thanks for the kind compliments Nick ! it's amazing what the old timers left behind. Can only imagine the nice nuggets they found. However, they did a poor job cleaning bedrock. My shop vac takes total advantage of this. Finding nice pickers in the cracks ! Eventually, I'll find virgin ground. Best wishes in your prospecting adventures !
You did a great job designing your system for the location. Well done. Thx.
P.S. I visited your site and subscribed because I saw you on Jeff Williams' channel.
Thanks Randy for compliments and subscribe. Glad you liked the video. Will post more soon. Isn't Jeff Williams videos fun to watch ?! Best wishes on your prospecting adventures !
Very interesting and informative
Thanks for your compliments ! Please check out my channel for more wash plant and assorted mining videos. 🤠⛏⚒
thank you for showing that product from Snake River.. thats exactly what I have been looking for, for my A52...
Glad you liked the videos. Yeah, give Snake River a call. They make a complete insert for your A52. I have in mine too ! Makes a huge difference, especially on the fine gold.
@@allansgoldmining already looked them up.. The idea of being able to put a finer Matt without the water rushing under it . is awesome.. I scrapped the idea of using V matting because it was letting water and pay dirt under the matting
I agree. You really don't need the V mat. The staked double V does it all ! Good luck prospecting !
@@allansgoldmining hey Allan if you're every in the Phoenix are the GPAP holds their meetings on the first Thursday each month if you could be a guest speaker some time they would love it.
Be glad to. I'm speaking to Mojave Prospectors Association next week. Email me at: allan.goldmining@gmail.com
Hi Allan, I really liked your set up. A few years ago I thought I would love to be doing what you are doing, it looks like fun work with a chance of a Jackpot. It beats setting at home on your butt. Your equipment is well designed and except for your water trailer it doesn't look like you have a lot invested. Although you would never see it, but being born under the sign of Aries I can be a very impatient person, so the panning would be work for me. LOL A few years ago I came across a built gold reclaim machine called "The Gold Lab". All the parts including the battery fit into a plastic tote. Once you classified the pay the machine did all the work. I did go back to their website and it looks like there hasn't been much activity in several months. I could see this machine going hand in hand with your machine. Plus 'The Gold Lab' doesn't use much water. If you haven't seen the video's on 'The Gold Lab', you might enjoy watching how they had designed the machine. They said it caught all the gold including the 'flower gold'. Take care and be well. The Best of Luck. Bill
Hi Bill. Thanks for the compliments and ideas. I checked out the Gold Lab videos. Quite an interesting set-up for feeding a Blue Bowl. Normally, I pan the sluice cons with a Fossicker Maverick Pan (sold by Snake River Products) which makes quick work of ridding the light stuff. From there, I classify the cons into 20, 40, 60 mesh, then feed into the Blue Bowl. So much easier than panning all those fines ! The panning in the video was for demonstration only. Wish you good luck in your prospecting adventures !
This is amazing
Thank you Patricia ! Glad you enjoyed the video. Please visit my channel for more gold mining adventures.
that was so cool
Thanks Rick ! Glad you liked the video. Checkout my channel for more wash plant videos. Cheers !
NICE .
im gonna give you a new name after seeing your genius gold trommel. the gold nerd
Ha ha ! I like it Marko. Thanks for viewing. Enjoy !!
I used this same set up to clean hydroton. Works great.
Hydroton is still available. Last I see it had crazy amounts of salt in it and they discontinued making it.
I think this is a great design , i will build similar to wash for topaz / sapphire etc and a ripple board for fines and possible gold . EXCELLENT !!
Thanks for your kind compliments Mark ! Check out my 3 part "Trommel Build" series on my channel. It will help up you all the details. A complete parts list is at the end of series 2. Best of luck to you on your prospecting adventures !
pretty nice set up buddy
Thank you sir !!
Nice...
Please visit my sight and check out some of the latest updates to the wash plant. Currently, designing a trailer mounted version. Thanks for watching !
True American ingenuity!
