That concept of using a cement type unit has been tried many times over the years , it throws out gold !

I made one with a cut down bowl & internal classifier to test it's performance .
Tried every thing a mind could come up with to get it return gold , the design is for mixing stuff with water ' not to collect gold

So moved on with new ideas & models .

See pics of the old converted cement mixer & then the start of next unit .
