    Many years ago I ran the maintenance department for a company that processed Tabular Alumina. It at is the second hardest mineral on the planet. Take it up a notch, we crushed it to increase surface area, basically make it jagged and sharp. Screen and blend it for refractory use. The stuff was so abrasive that it would cut up anything! Metal was a contaminant in the end product so we lined everything with white gum rubber, the softer the material the more resistant to abrasion. We processed it down below.5 microns and you couldn’t keep it out of anything. The green button with the S on it wasn’t Start, it was Self Destruct! I know all too well about maintaining equipment! Lol
    Love the channel, keep it up!

    I use to do work for a gentleman who owned a sand company out of Greenwood. Help build many screen plants and worked on dredging equipment where he got river sand. He had several pits around Leesville and Gilbert area.One day I would love to see your operation.

    • @TheRealMrDiGG

    0) Thank you for sharing this! :-)
    1) WARNING: If I remember correctly, one shouldn't have a fluids pomp run unless full of fluid. (This includes pressure washers.) So that blue diesel-driven pump may already be damaged. (I forgot why, after nearly fifty years.)
    2) Recreational use of that site:
    - Just mention "zip line" to DirtPerfect, and he'll be off. (He posted a video some two years ago about a beloved zip line that was to be removed.)
    - Here in the Netherlands, notably around Amsterdam, we have several lakes, all(?) of them discarded land reclamations turned into sand pits, some 40 metres deep. The sand would be used to build city quarters on, the water surfaces are used for swimming and boating, but the water is also used by diving clubs. Something with decompression chambers. In Germany, former lignite mines have been repurposed this way. You might leave abolished equipment as diving targets.
    3) Commercial use of that site after "exhaustion":
    - I could think of future "lakes" as freshwater reserves, especially if there should be housing or farming "nearby".
    - These lakes would likely lie too low to accomodate hydro power, but there might yet be some use for flattening daily demand curves. (Pumping water up at times of idle generators, using it at times of high demand.)
    - I'm a vegetarian, but the "lakes" might be fit for farming certain fish. (Mind the birds this would attract!)
    - You're considering a "water park". You might also consider developing house lots around the "lakes". There may be some demand for home lots with diving right next to the garden, and (on the contrary) for lots with "endless" shallow waters.
    - Possible part of a water park: a lake with artificial waves for surfing, likely generated using solar power. (I wonder if you could invent some "solid-state" approach instead of generating electricity to drive a motor.) Imagine: a freshwater site for surfing, no sharks (unless farmed...), too shallow for drowning. If the wave generator could be afloat, on wheels or based on a shipping container, you could adjust the direction of the waves to that of the wind. (At angles may be fun.)
    4) You mentioned that meandering drain of one area. You may get inspiration from a project under construction here:

    Always amazing what can see, different dirt and aggregate, when you get a large area like you have open. Where I am we have 4-6” of topsoil then it’s hard brown dirt and lots of round rock from 2” to 2’. The 80 acre to the west of me has some rolling terrain that has some wonderful bank run gravel they leave sit. I got permission to build a backstop where the hill collapsed made a nice 500 yd range.
    When you get that place cleared out you have the makings of a “park” for gun dog training, add a shooting range, sporting clays. A friend of mine bought an old used and abused farm with some low area along the river. They have been going for 15 years now, made improvements yearly, I put roads in a few years back and they are able to stay open through November and open the higher part in March. This year I’m putting in a pen to raise Red Legs Chucker for sale to the trainers.

  • @SlackerU
    @SlackerU 5 місяців тому +2

    If you read comments on old videos... If your sand-mine has any areas that are being repaired back natural land then you should document it. My State has ignored these mines where now they have half a dozen in my county getting sued for allowing excessive amounts of chloride from their blue ponds to drain into the river that enters a lake used for drinking water. B/c of the high-levels of blue-chloride these mines in the floodway have obstructed the flow of water which is causing lots of illegal flooding & violating the NFIP(FEMA flood insurance) of floodplain areas.

    28:23 All of that is FloodWay, I don't see any upstream issues where your levee might be obstructing too much flood flow but you should really check. There is one in my county that slowed 1500ft of the floodway below 3FPS & flooded out multiple neighborhoods beyond the 500yr flood-height.

    Thank you for opening your operation to Dirt Perfect for a video recorded tour….I loved it. I heard that Let’s Dig 18 is going to post one too and look forward to that one as well. One of my favorite things is to see how things are made or how a business operates. The diversity of operations you have in that one facility is immense.
    Kindly consider making a few of your own videos that end up becoming a playlist of all your separate parts. It might reveal some inner dealings (removing the fear of the unknown) with certain disciplines that could benefit others. Like those considering implementing a plan to reduce the amount of buried treasures that get wasted in a landfill environment.
    Here’s a question: do you have magnets or any other means to capture metal that might get processed through your crushers or shredders? I suspect that you probably have a process that tries to keep it out from the start.

    • @TheRealMrDiGG
      @TheRealMrDiGG  11 місяців тому +1

      Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate your idea on the playlist too. Yes, both the crusher and grinders have super strong magnets to remove any metal from the final product. Both belt and head pulley rare earth magnets. Thanks again!

    You asked abut large plastic for your slip and slide idea. Farmers that put silage in ground pits (silos) cover it with plastic. I have no idea where they buy it but I'm sure it comes for an agriculture farming supplier. It is black on one side and white on the other. It is very strong and thick.

    For the slip and slide take a loader rim and tire mount to a dozer blade to make a groove in the sand. It will keep you in a straight line to the water. Dish soap will burn the eyes and it does not taste good.

  • @karenrasmussen1505
    @karenrasmussen1505 11 місяців тому

    Once the sand runs out that pit wound be nice as a dirt park. A place to take your birt bikes, mountain bikes, atvs, tricked out farm trucks, doing jumps, mud bogging, obstacle crouses. Could still fit in a zip line or three also.

    Make the slide from kaolin. Cut a flume into the dirt and line it with kaolin.

      Thought about that, but im afraid it still might be too abrasive with the sand particles in it. Thanks for the idea though! I hope I can pull this thing off!!???

    Can you put finner screens in the washplant to wash the rocks and put a conveyor to catch the rocks and pile them in a different location?

    • @TheRealMrDiGG
      @TheRealMrDiGG  11 місяців тому

      Good idea! We’ll have to do something similar for sure to catch the rock. Thanks for watching & commenting!

    Isn’t the pit for the landfill coated with something, to prevent seepage into the groundwater?
    A landfill I often drive by, had to be dug up, cause the seal cracked, and it seeped into the groundwater. Man, the stink was incredible, smelt like sh!t for miles and miles😂

    • @TheRealMrDiGG

      We dont have to have a liner since we dont accept any material that could contaminate groundwater. 👍

    Mr Digg i thought purple Kaolin was worth money it,s very expensive to buy a 1kg bag of it. i love your recycling operation the rest of the USA needs to follow your example.

    • @TheRealMrDiGG
      @TheRealMrDiGG  11 місяців тому

      Yes, you are correct. I looked into it a few years ago, but ours was too high and some element that I can’t remember right now, I think boron. I was looking into it for the cosmetic industry.

    I’ve been mining for 10 years now. Don’t think I’ve ever been through an inspection where the mine didn’t get atleast 1 violation 😂 I will say though having a bunch of people running around for a party might be something msha doesn’t take to kindly too. Not sure how that whole thing would work out so might want to look into that first before you get to far into it.

    • @TheRealMrDiGG

    you should be able to settle out sand at scale using the landscape and stormwater - at a very low cost (water, gravity) - use reservoirs to adjust the volume for specific size drop out in your planned effluent channel - create a bloom the required size granulation right next to an excavator platform; in my head anyways. :) great show, good stories.

      je schredder voor hout heeft te weinig capaciteit en je kraanman is te traag bij bijvullen . neem in plaatst van 2 trommelzeven 1 vingerzeef die een grotere capaciteit heeft en zet de compost op een blok zodanig dat het verse hout 1 kant ligt en de compost die klaar is om te zeven de andere kant , zeef dat af en dan moet je alles omzetten dat dit weer een 6 tal weken kan liggen om compost te worden en je terug kan zeven en zo begin je elke 6 weken opnieuw . neem een kantelbaar voor de bulldozer , kan je hoger stapelen en nodig bij het zeven met vingerzeef
