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.

[@ChrisRalph]

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.

[@allansgoldmining]

I think many of us senior prospectors have had a puffer at one time or another. 🤠 My first was built from plans. 👍⛏⚒

[@kencarbon2346]

Enjoyed watching you dry wash for gold!🙂

Much appreciated. Thanks for watching. Good luck to you prospecting ! 🤠⛏⚒👍

[@Jaysgold]

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.

[@allansgoldmining]

Yeehaw !! Put it together and get some gold !!

[@Jaysgold]

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.

[@tedpittman7174]

Good video buddy. I like that little thing it seems to trap that fine gold real good and easy to move around.

[@allansgoldmining]

Thanks Ted. Yep, that how I see it too ! Thanks for watching !

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.

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. 😎

@@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

[@chrislilly1463]

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.

[@allansgoldmining]

Yes you can install a motor, but think about the exercise you're missing out on ? Lol !! Thanks for watching my friend !

[@robertwolfe2971]

If it was windy you could hook it up to a small wind mill to power it.

[@andrewlindsay8841]

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.

[@allansgoldmining]

He's resolved the bolt issue on further machines. Thanks for the comments. 👍

[@JCombe]

Could you use a stick on a fulcrum to pump the dry washer? Thinking of a hiking staff or stick.

[@michaelzapp5011]

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.

[@matter3232]

easy in and out😁

[@Red-et2rd]

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.

[@allansgoldmining]

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: www.desertdrywashers.com Thanks for watching !

[@GoldFeverAdventures]

That’s double work! Shovel then Puff! Needs a motor of some type!

[@pychohobo1832]

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.

[@davereed9103]

I would like to know where, and how much the redwood puffer sluice boxes are… Thanks Dave

[@allansgoldmining]

The builder info is located on the description page below

[@rodneyhickey1744]

I want to get. One

[@pychohobo1832]

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.

[@pychohobo1832]

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.
