You two are changing peoples life for the better. Y’all should be proud of yourself

[@chrishubbard64]

Man what a clear demonstration of "Sorry, you have been doing it wrong all this time" They spotted every issue, straightened it out, and made them produce probably multitudes of gold more than they ever believed they would see. They went from a failed venture to one that can actually turn a profit in a week.

[@mikeunum]

Yeah real know how brings it in. Well done Freddy and Juan.

Those heavy duty screw conveyors are made with steel that is designed to be beat up and repairable by millwrights in the field. Heavy duty thick sheet folded into place by brakes and reiforced with flatbar and HSS welded. A loader can drive into it and it can be repaired. Maincosts are the screw and power transmission.

[@8ch-Ivy]

Only 2 years late and y’all left out that the course material washer was almost destroyed when the truck hauling it overturned.

[@michaelchristopher9228]

Theres another video that focuses on that, seems they broken the episodes into 3 10 min vids

[@dootdoot1867]

You could roll that down a mountain and pick it up and repair it. Its meant to take a beating by rocks and be repairable in the middle of Alaska by millwrights with generator powered welders in the middle of no where. Couple bearings, power transmission belts and shivs. A Baldor motor, Sheet metal and flat bar.

Awesome family.

Nice little placer peach

0.25 ounces per hour? Would that really pay for 3 families? I would guess at most 1, but you would be struggling to keep floating. For the rest, amazing job again by the magic duo.

[@stevecasvan5225]

Yo bro do the math. 2 oz in 8 hour day. 5-day work week equals 10 oz a week. That's roughly 40 oz a month. If you can't survive on roughly $60,000 a month something else is wrong.

[@swooopg]

2oz per day is very decent

[@QnA22]

@@stevecasvan5225 20.000 per family? Sorry, but are you sure your math is correct? That is, 20k for a family is simply very much below the poverty level.

[@QnA22]

@@stevecasvan5225 Sorry, but I think you haven't finished the calculations. 60k a month, divided by 3 is 20k per family. That's not even taking taxes into account and running costs. I'll remind you that the poverty level for a family with 1 child is 24,860 Dollar. These families are wayyy below that.

[@stevecasvan5225]

@@QnA22 20K a month on a six-month working season is $120,000. The math was for one month not one year.

Where’s their operation ? To see or talk to ? Their business of contact ?

[@scottscott6794]

It's always good to see one minor helping another it's not easy job but it's good to see camaraderie. Continued success always.

[@McK-t5g]

Wonder if they checking the screw they added to break it up 🤣

[@fozzyami]

So 4.5 times as much in double the time =2.25 times better than the previous test but they ran 2x as much pay as last time so really they increased the yield by 0.125% The main benefit the changes made were to time taken to process the pay. The Gold yield was pretty much the same.

[@ihopthsuzrnmeisfree]

12.5% increase, but yeah, no where near as good as the 4.5 times they're saying.

[@danielreid6041]

😎

[@FARBerserker]

how are there so many people doing this that have such bad setups that are just not useable for the job?

[@garretthelms5929]

A lot of money laying around I guess, but these guys are putting the “selling the shovels to the miners” philosophy to work

[@shireproductions9499]

Love to see stuff like this

Awesome 😎

[@johnkeating2828]

Doesn't discovery pay them? Feels interesting that they charge

[@fredtunks5341]

It's basically a formality really but I mean for shits sakes who do you know that works for free ❓

[@adamwatson6916]

Why would anyone do it for free? Even if they get paid by discovery why would Freddy give away one of his expensive machines? He is an equipment salesman after all .
