can anyone who uses a dry washer on a regular basis tell me how often I should clean up. I am getting a lot of black sands and I clean up before I refill the blower. will the loading up of black sand prevent gold from entering the riffles. thanks

thanks for the info, the problem seems to be that if I run it at a slower speed the larger material does not want to run off. I change the angle and then the smaller materials run off rather fast and over the top. when the material hits the air space there is a huge puff of dust flying out ahead of the first riffle almost like an explosion. I heard that some people put about two inches of duct tape just below where the material would drop. the blower that came with the machine only has click type settings. In other words you cannot fine tune the blower. what type of blower did you have for yours. thanks for the info. forrest

I have just purchased a gold duster dry washer and took it out today. as soon as the dirt hit the cloth above the first riffle it sure seems that there is a lot of gold, black sand and what ever else made be in the dirt being blown away. has anyone had the same problem and how did you correct the problem. any suggestion would help. I have a keene bellows and it never acts this way. thank forrest
