Interesting Prospecting Equipment
I ran across this
equipment this last weekend down in AZ.
I'm not sure what you
call this, it appears to operate
without
water, so maybe a
vibrawasher. Sure is high up to that hopper though.

I also came
across this triple
bellows drywasher
setup. Very interesting how the bellows were
setup more like
piston bellows, no cloth. The hopper above had
an offset rotating
weight to create a vibration, to screen better.
Also, each bellows
had the upper end suspended in coil springs.
This creates a riffle up down vibration as the bellows works.
