Another means of retrieving the yellow bits? We tried a small industrial type vacuum cleaner which had a 20 litre collection drum. We put another drum in series, the heavies dropped in to first drum and only the dust carried over to the main unit. It worked well but was a pain in the butt carrying it and the generator close enough to creek bed. The old 1.5KVA Honda needed two to carry it unless you were built like Silverback. With today's light weight units it maybe another string for the bow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nXBToLkjBg&feature=youtu.be |

You could make a vacuum with riffles like this,but I think I would put a rubber mat on the bottom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv2VU1fyisw Regards Frank |
