Very peaceful rhythmic sound to a puffer
Yeah, gotta love them puffers. It was my first dry washer too. That wash has potiential for sure ! Hope to get the trailered wash plant in there some day before claim jumpers get it. Lol !! Thanks for watching my friend !! 🤠⚒⛏👍👍👍

Back to the basics ….👍🏻✅
Yep. Still works ! We were talking about you this weekend. Mike is from your neck of the woods. Knows the Superior shoreline too !
Thanks for the showing of the drywasher, sure did look good in the house too...
Thanks Ed. Mike does good work on his machines. 👍
Great video
I need to save some money so I can try one of these here in New Mexico. I find gold but there is no water in most locations. A dry washer is what the doctor ordered.
I have shipped these across the country. I know I have sent one to New Mexico. Check my website for costs and other contact info
J& K - you can contact me if you wanted to set up a payment plan as well... Biggest thing is just get a hold of me through the website and we can work something out if needed

I just looked at your site and didn't realize how affordable these things can be. I have 3 birthdays and an anniversary to cover this time a year.lol All within 3 weeks. I should have some free cash in a couple weeks. I will hit up my busines partner and see what he thinks.
Where in New Mexico? Maybe we can get together and you can try my drywasher.
Far from El Paso? Looking for a place between El Paso and Deming, and between Deming and the Mexico Border.
@@jk-76 this way you can try a drywasher before buying one.
And honestly, I can use some help on how to find a claim.
Hey I like that area! Nice Dry Washer!
I like mine for the privacy. Ain't nothing like running those noisy ones down in a wash and having somebody come up on you from the back side and tap you on the shoulder. Many a men almost lost their lives by being err; what they call it? Funny? Looks great in my living room also. Great lil puffer.
Eureka Yeee Haaa
Well done Alan..
That’s a wonderful little dry blowing Machine..
Thanks for sharing this..
Cheers Famo59 👍🍻⛏🤓
Thanks for stopping by Tony. Hope you find big shiny with that 6000 !
My first (and only for many years) was a drawstring puffer by Keene. That type of design is very lightweight and portable. A good piece of equipment to have.
I think many of us senior prospectors have had a puffer at one time or another. 🤠 My first was built from plans. 👍⛏⚒
That was awesome that will be my next diy project. Allan I just got my hands on 2 gas powered pumps 1"1/2 and a 2" and a generator. 3 major pieces to a 5 corner puzzle.
Yeehaw !! Put it together and get some gold !!
The best part is that they were gifted to me from my aunt. It's funny my aunt and uncle thought that they could get some fire hose and protect their home with it, but if they had run pipe with sprinklers and covered all of the exposures it's called a water certain, it is used in the fire service.
I hope one day to make it out to AZ to the gold fields with my dad. If we can find a clam for a week. But know with the new equipment I need to make some adapters and a bypass.
Good video buddy. I like that little thing it seems to trap that fine gold real good and easy to move around.
Thanks Ted. Yep, that how I see it too ! Thanks for watching !
Enjoyed watching you dry wash for gold!🙂
Good review. I have one of Mike's bower drywashers ( serial number #1). Can't say enough about his workmanship and how well mine works.
Thanks for the compliments. Agreed, he does a nice job !! Thanks for watching !
Allan, that's a nice little prospecting rig and it looks well made. Thanks for the great review!
Thanks Joanne ! Fun little machine !
Another sweet video. That would be fun to use up in the hydraulic pits.
Definitely easy to hike it in and prospect. 👍👍👍
Nice tool dude!
Enjoyed
Thanks
✌️PT
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching. Good luck to you prospecting ! 🤠⛏⚒👍
Great work fam. That is cool. Gold squad out!!!
great video, thats a very fine machine. i know you probably dont care when mining for yourself but you youtube reveals adopt the tapping technique, it works really well i just do it cause i like collecting as little black sand with my snuffer.
Thanks for watching ! I is a fun little machine to prospect with.
Yes he does good work I bought a rocker box from. Thanks for showing me how big the puffer is. I wanted to know so I can get it.
We have one too, great little drywasher. Happy Hunting Allan!
Thanks Tammy !! They are fun !
Nice one sir👍
- An excellent tool for gold hunting.👌
Yes, it's a fun little machine. 👍⛏️⚒️🤠
Definitely pretty cool
Thank you thank you thank you I have been looking for a affordable dry washer for the dozen for some months now. Awesome 👍🏽😎
Thanks for watching, and best of luck prospecting ! Hope you can purchase one of these little puffers. 👍⛏⚒🤠
Awesome mate, works a treat, one day I'll try dry blowing out. ⛏️🇦🇺🤠
It's a fun prospecting tool. Thanks for watching. Good luck out there mate !! 🤠👍⚒⛏
@@allansgoldmining thanks Allan I appreciate it, happy hunting 🇦🇺👍🤠
I got one of his last year, but mine uses a blower. I like it alot.
I got of those from Mike, though it got damaged during shipping, I did repair it. My problem with it was the ,where the bolts screw into, those nuts would pop out of the wood. Also I had him build mine with a motor, which he said was the first for him, turns out works better by hand than with the motor. A lot of where he used the wood screws that he built it with split the wooden parts.
He's resolved the bolt issue on further machines. Thanks for the comments. 👍
Oh man that’s slick. I’d guess you could just have a small motor with a wheel and a peg and have it go round and round (steam locomotive style) while you feed it.
Yes you can install a motor, but think about the exercise you're missing out on ? Lol !! Thanks for watching my friend !
If it was windy you could hook it up to a small wind mill to power it.
Really cool
Looks like a really well made unit and like you said perfect for those far off gulches... Your videos are really informative and well done Allan! Thanks for sharing your experiences and heavy pans to come!
Thanks Aaron. Glad you enjoyed the video !
@@allansgoldmining a friend of mine donated to our channel two (2) similar type units, SUPER COOL of him for us to use. These are DC though and one is really small like a sampling unit and the other is larger …both puffer types. I’m excited to use them …just haven’t yet. Thanks again Allan. Best regards, Aaron
Well done presentation Allan! Make me want to try the puffer out with how hot n' dry it is. How hot is it down there today? 110° here in Eastern WA State believe it or not haha, feels like Vegas in Washington. Anyhow, always a pleasure tuning in to your Allan's Gold Mining. Take care and stay cool. 😎
Tis the season for sure !! 110F in WA ?? Wow ! Was hoping you'd send some cool air our way. Lol ! Thanks for watching, and appreciate the comments ! 👍🤠⚒⛏

Sweet!
Could you use a stick on a fulcrum to pump the dry washer? Thinking of a hiking staff or stick.
Absolutely a lever can be used as desired. I build the system as a starting platform. There are plenty of options that can be added for various aspects as needed.
I have a puffer.
Below is why I feel everyone in dry areas should have a puffer
It works by hand or with a motor.
When I bought it I had to deside if I wanted a puffer or a drywasher that used a blower.
I desided on my puffer, because.......
A puffer finds more gold then a blower dry washer.
And it has a motor when I don't want to do by hand.
Downside is puffers are slower the blowers.
But more gold is good. And the motor is nothing. Add a tiny battery and a 12v solar panel. ( windshield wiper motor, battery of a kids car, and 100 watt panel. ) plus a shovel and a few 5 gal buckets and wheel barrow or cart to carry all in.
Or strap puffer on backpack with shovel and bucket. ( for by hand mod)
Btw you can just shovel to the drywasher.
I use bucket for emptying tray into.
You can drywash all day and emptied into bucket at end of day.
I watched these two well fit guys working together trading off on shoveling and operating puffer all day. They emptied it at end of day. It was a lot of gold.
Btw I had made a puffer before this.
I just didn't have the confidence it was good.
It was ugly, but it worked.
After I bought the other one. I realized my first one was also good.
However. The bought one is lighter, looks better and requires less maintance.
easy in and out😁
Great video, I just picked one up at the gold show. I was just wondering though how often would you clean the riffles if you were to run it for production.
Hi Red. I'm not sure ? Usually a unit like this is for prospecting. Perhaps you can email the manufacturer and inquire. Here's Mike's website:

Thanks for watching !
I would be standing back in the shade.
Especially this time of year.
I would like to know where, and how much the redwood puffer sluice boxes are…
Thanks Dave
The builder info is located on the description page below
I want to get. One
Thats SLICK! I 😎
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching !
That’s double work! Shovel then Puff! Needs a motor of some type!
You can add a motor.
Get a windshield wiper motor.
That's what mine uses.
And when I want I disconnect motor and use puffer by hand.
I have a 12v solar panel, and battery from a razor I use.
Runs all day like this.
I would like the. Emal

Sir are you interesting in yamashita in the Philippines?
I must have missed where a fella can get one of these contraptions?

@@allansgoldmining thank you sir!
Hi, is Mike still making these? I e mailed him no repostpones
Yes he is. His phone and email is listed on his website. Check the description page for web address.
Who cares if you find gold, you got a nice dry washer, lol
I am asking for the riffles cloth mesh?, thank you
Contact manufacturer. His website is listed on the Description page. 👍
How can I contact you in regards to purchasing your dewatering table?
I'm building a commercial prototype now. Hope to have it complete by fall. allan.goldmining@gmail.com.
Hello Allan how are you?
Can you give me the name of the white cloth in 5:46 please? Thanks a lot
Contact Mike at www.desertdrywashers.com
How much is it and where can I buy one
Information is located on the description page of this video. Thanks for watching !
I got one of these second hand today. The mesh in the tray feels like it won’t last much longer. Any ideas on what to use for the riffle tray mesh? On that note the billows bag could be replaced too.
I would contact Mike. He's the builder. His info is in the description.
@@allansgoldmining I don’t think it’s one of Mike’s, it’s generally the same though. You think a 160 mesh would work? Or something more comparable to general fabric you can get by the yard.
@@AZDesertExplorer Contact Mike. He will have a better idea regarding fabrics. He might have some for you.
@@allansgoldmining Ok will do.
Eureka, lol
I looked up his website. I couldn't find any contact info.
I logged onto the website and seems to be working. There are lots of letters in the address. Are you sure you have them all ? Here's the link: www.desertdrywashers.com/
@@allansgoldmining I got it now. Thanks so much.
@@martinrice9190 great ! 👍
Pode me ensinar a fazer uma drywasher?
If you live in western USA, join a prospecting club. They can help..
@@allansgoldmining Infelizmente mora no Brasil e é difícil encontrar essa modalidade, essa drywasher foi criada nos USA ou AUSTRALIA?
Now if you only knew how to pan .....................
Bet I can beat you in a panning contest any day ! Probably been panning longer than you, squirt. 😉
