If anyone is looking for aftermarket shafts for running the Commie coils on your Zed, here is a link. Everything is included , like wing nuts and threaded nut thingy and washers. They look identical but without the ML logo, and the ridiculous Minelab stamp tax.. you can't beat $19.00.

What a cool old video, thanks for sharing that Jen! 

YW Chris.

Glad your back safe..... that's a pretty area but it reminds me too much of Canada during the Winter, it was bad enough here in Gold Basin this week....

Thank you Chris, it's beautiful... almost too nice to scrub in the dirt, especially at that price.. grin

As soon as all this white stuff leaves us here in Gold Basin, it'll be out hitting my old patches.

Get your orders in kids.... these things are opening up new patches, like we experienced each time a new GPX was released, then a GPZ etc... amazing results are coming in....

Thanks for getting my item shipped before leaving, have fun.

Mine is arriving this week or next, anyone else here have one yet, how are you liking it? Great reviews from Australia and a LOT lighter.

Hey Jen,

Have you had the opportunity to run  the trommel, just wondering what you think of it. 

Love it

Yep, the GPX 7000 is too heavy and too expensive  but It sure does a great job of finding gold.

Excellent article......

Looks like all nuggets bigger than 1/2"? go out the end?

You found someone's glass eye.

Very nice,  about how many yards can you run per hour in the real world with one or two operators.Wish we could do that in California....

This one is designed for 30 ton per hour... according to Heckle's web site.

Here's a video of this actual unit running a sampling run up on a buddy's claim in Idaho, gold shown at the end.

lol... you're two steps ahead of me.

I hear ya..... the other big one I saw like that had a little belt out front to take away the tailings, that made it easier for a single operator... might be worth putting on yours. Yes true, I have a lot of clay and calichi here so needed the extended trommel tube to help break some of it down.

Here's a video...

oh SWEEEET.... I was torn between having him build me a commercial size drywashwer/blower like you have or running wet, luckily I have access to water so decided on running a wet plant..... I wish we had more options for big drywashers like yours, nice build..

Jen

Hi peeps... anyone else here running a Heckler Fabrication 2410V trommel? I've had a Heckler 10" x 10' 4 stage (over under) high banker since 2011 and love it, just picked up one of his trommels, anyone else running one? Let' share tips n tricks.

Please make sure to let us know when you have the 25" mono in, it'll be a perfect compliment to the NF-25DD I purchased from you a bit ago (great coil by the way, especially if using on a push).

Fred was ill for quite some time, that's why he hadn't made the trips he loved to do.
He grew weaker as the months passed, wrenched ill health, bad lungs etc. we carried on with messages back an forth "soldiering up" as he would instruct me to do !
He just didn't have the strength to come to Az. as he wanted and  tried a few times.
I enjoyed his friendship for many years. He left a big impression on my soul.

Thanks for the update Frank...

Jen

OHMYGAWD!!!!!!!!! Never met him but sure read lots of his posts... that sucks... what a crap bit of news... wow.... thanks for letting us know Fred.... Guys (and gals).. .we're not here for a long time.. make it special.

PS: Was it expected, his pictures makes him appear fairly young.
