It's a stamper battery, the top half 'what you called crank' would lift the stamping heads 'what you called pistons' as it spun around, crushing whatever material was out in. The earlier ones had a furnace near by if they were crushing quartz to bake it which would soften the quartz, the later ones had hardened heads which meant they no longer needed the furnace. Great video , great looking river. Gold is gold, it all adds up! Where's episode 2?

Gold Whisperer thanks mate for the detailed description. I might have to take the detector back there next time. Next video on the way soon 👍
Yeah it's a stamp mill
A five head stamper
Bit of Timbarra gold, nice. Venture up the hill into Ewingar and feeder creeks for chunky. Keep them coming
Hey, thanks bro. I've been meaning to get over there but struggle to get in and around in my van. Thanks though I will have another crack
What you might call a stamper?
Used to crush quartz to retrieve the gold
