A Treasure of Free Gold Prospecting Equipment Plans and Commentary-- I gold prospected in Arizona 15 years. Am on a budget working on success mining. If you want gas money, cut corners to get to the claims. I began homemade equipment in 2008. First just looked at other folks' equipment; copied on my own. Took tape measure to a meeting or an outing & measured parts. I looked for plans on the Net. Posting commentary on free plans is offered. URLs are here too.

Banjo Dry Washer
A banjo looks like a dry washer but you ladle water into it. It is good for processing material in a creek or river bed where there are puddles and no flowing water.
This is the first time I have heard of the device and it looks like it makes sense.
