xt18000 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just joined today and wanted to say hello to everyone. Know my way around the Gold fields with a detector ( SD2200d,XT18000,Stinger ) and several coin machines ( all very good and ready to go ). Also have two dredges 3" & 5" and a Gold Screw and building a trommel that will take apart and fit in the back of a small SUV ( a work in progress ). Dredged the Klamath River for 5 seasons and detected the Klamath and the Siskiyou's when I could. Had to move back to Texass due to health, and family, so have not been dredging except in (GA.) to teach a long time friend how to do it. Do a little coinshooting from time to time when I'm about to go stir crazy. Have I told you how much I hate Texass!! You can't do nutting here except wish you was 1200 mi.s West of it!!!!! Oh well as they say " thats life and then you die ". Don't waste your time or chances not doing what you love to do because you never know from day to day what will happen that can take those times and changes from you ( this also means sleeping with the lady's, Iknow about that to!! ) Well by now if you have stuck it out this far and not went to sleep, you know more about me than you ever wanted to but hay, this is my post and you did'ent have to read it if you did'ent want to. Good Hunting to you all and you will hear more from me in days to come even if you don't want to. XT18000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get gold fever, nothing else but the hunt for the cure will float your boat. I live on Cedar Creek Lake, South East of Dallas, TX. Hate to fish.

AuTSaurus Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 XT18000,Welcome back!. I'm not sure if it was this forum or not, but your pictures jogged my memory. I recognized the pictures of your trommel barrel, (the helix parts that you cut and put in the bigger part), that you posted quite a while back, on one of the forums, just can't remember which one. Interesting use of a vertical shaft engine. Good luck with it! It looks like it will work good.Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
