Did you get rich with your gold pan? No.
Did you get rich with your sluice box? No.
Did you get rich with your dredge? No.
Well step up to this and move some gravel and just maybe you will get rich.Real easy to! Just sit in a loader, air condtioned and heated of course, pick up some gravel,pour it in the top of the trommel, round and around it goes, out the back is the rock that can be sold to landscape people. On the botttom left side of the machine is where your gold comes out, just waiting for you to scoop it up at the end of the day, how easy can that be? Like Costco, I did not know I needed that until I saw it and now I want one!

yeah, if all you want is money. but i thought a true goldbug just did it for the pleasure of sitting out alongside a stream on a warm afternoon with a sluice pan, gently swishing it back and forth and hoping.

and i know what you mean about costco!

This tromell is sitting over in the Gold District, off of Highway 49 North. If you do not have a loader you better be pretty tall and strong to walk up that old ladder with some rocks in your hand to throw in the top !!
