The Gustavus Thread

That sounds like it was working then before the blow up.

Good thing I had a spare, just about finished relocating the replacemnt motor which this time is mounted from the side keeping it nice and dry. Instead of being direct coupled to the motor it's now belt driven.

Came if for a coffee break, then back out to the shop to finish cutting in the slots for the motor tightener then weld a bracket for the controller.

I feel that is the way to go with it.

The new set up is actualy working better than I originally had it.

Barren do you care to venture a guess as to the metal in the tan streaks in picture number two below.

I would say there is a good possability that it is gold.

I like that motor set up better.

Excellent job.

Yes I would agree the tan streaks are gold. another observation I made as I neared the bottom of my tub about the last two inches of mud there was a major colour shift as the tan material begun to disappear from my cons recovered from the bowel. It would appear whatever is laying near.the bottom of the tub is heavier than gold.

I'll be spending sometime this afternoon re-running the spent material ( tailings ) through the centrifuge or better put my lack of experience on operating the centrifuge missed any cons.

Metals I expect to recover from the cons.

Silver, Gold,Tantalum, Germanium, Palladium, Platinum, will send the dregs out for assay to see what is left.

I think the heavier sediment goes along with what we talked about the other day. Looking very good so far.

Agreed. and there is not all that much of it.

I squeezed another 1.5 lbs out of the tailings there could be more but decided to leave the tailings to test the new centrifuge which will be built around a totally new design.

Barren maybe you and I could make a summer of it, going to some of the small gold claims up North working their tailings ponds for a share with the owners. All we need is a slush pump to feed the mud into the centrifuge.

This centrifuge has by far exceeded all my expectations, it is an incredible machine and the new model will even be so much more improved.

I'm going to be a prick not sharing the plans publicly on this new centrifuge build.

You owe me an email.

This about wraps up this thread for me, if your interested I put out a challenge to GRF members which may also conclude the thread I have going on over there on the same topic.
