Fed my Mighty Mill 26.5 pounds of rock and gravel thus far, and can attest that it is worth every cent paid and then some. No difficulty getting to 20 minus in a second or two, and 30 minus all the way to talcum powder levels possible with a bit more time. Some observations from this first run. The screened discharge tube can't reasonably keep up, and attaching a vacuum pretty much instantly clogs the screen. As someone else suggested, dumping pulverized ore out the feed chute is the fatest/easiest way to empty. A paddle switch operated grinder is awesome for best control, and pulsing the grinder seems more effective than simply leaving on steady. Finer pulverizing seems best achieved by adding more and more material until you begin to hear the grinder laboring a bit. (I expect this is due to the vast open space of the shackles from the walls, and look forward to the new hardened shackle design, that I think will make grinds finer faster) You'll find yourself repulverizing courser classified material, and this is when the discharge tube becomes helpful. Just use a bucket on the hook, and not a vacuum. Once through all my ore, I had about a half cup of material above 30 minus, that the mill couldn't pulverize further, simply because there is no other material to act against. Again, I think this will improve with the new modified shackles. Overall, there is nothing that I can complain about, with the Mighty Mill. Well designed, built solid, and priced great. Oh and hand built by an American! 🇺🇸 😀👍
Thanks man, I appreciate it! It was fun to shoot, and nice to find some good gold too. I'll be doing a video soon that I think you might like...stay tuned!
Thank you very much! I'm sending out shipping details now. Good luck in your prospects, I hope you find a rich deposit...they're still out there just waiting to be discovered!
Thanks, it was a lot of fun! Looking to return in spring time, along with some other really great spots I know of in Central Nevada. Happy New Year and wishing you lots of gold for 23!!!
Cool little chain mill. I didn't know those were available. Nice score there too. I'm planning on Moving to AZ to do some similar activities. Wish me luck.
Thanks! I've been making and selling these in small batches of 20 for almost 3 years now, they're on ebay. Arizona is a great place for gold, you should do really well...just watch out for snakes and the heat lol!
I appreciate it! I always strive to make my product the best it can be, and I'm really happy with this latest version. I'll have more units available in October.
That mill sounds like Amys ninja blender🤣 you put so much work into hiking all that stuff to remote locations. I have to say we'll done and I really enjoyed this! You helped me decide what where I'm going today and what to do,thanks👏
I agree, but another person would be handy for more equipment. When you're hiking into a remote location, every pound counts, especially when it's the desert, and hot out...yuck!
*I just updated my ebay listing for the latest batch of mills which will be completed and shipped out on December 5th. Checkout my ebay link in the description if interested.*
Thanks, and for sure I do! ...especially the atv. It's crazy how stuff doesn't look far on Google earth, and then you start walking LOL! I plan on doing a trip to Tybo and surrounding areas next spring, so I might hit this spot again.
It can be, for overseas, but nobody else makes them like mine :-) And all others are more expensive than mine. After this last batch is gone I will be away for a few months, but when I return, all mills will be instock, ready to ship asap.
That one didn't have much good stuff left due to the fact it's right off the highway, but you can find them practically everywhere in NV, especially in Central Nevada. I recommend near Goldfield, Belmont, Candelaria, Tonopah, (my other video) Gold Eagle Mine, and many other smaller mining camps throughout the Mt. Diablo mountain range. Google Earth is your best friend lol!
@@onemansthought Fernley is where I stop for my gas fill up each time I go through NV. There are TONS of old mines (gold mines) in the outskirts of Fallon. I highly recommend using Google Earth and start scouring the mountains around you.
You know I build these by hand, right? Message me through ebay and I can happily cancel your order if need be. I have a line of people waiting for mills because nobody makes them like I do. Sorry, but I'm not like Amazon, where I can just ship out a piece of china junk to you the very next day.
The mill itself is made out of 3/16" thick steel, so it can safely handle the rpms of a standard grinder, which is around 10,000 to 12,000 rpms. The bearing however is rated at 5800 rpms, so that's why I say to only run it in short bursts or short amounts of time. This gives the bearing a chance to cool and not be damaged. If you have a variable speed grinder that can have the rpms turned down, then you can run it constantly with no worries about damaging the bearing.
Thank you! I'm very proud to say that I have kept my mill "inflation free" because I sell them for the *same price* as when I first released the mill 3 years ago.... $375 for the mill and $55 for a discharge tube with 2 screen sizes that attaches directly to the front door.
Very good crusher design. I crush bigher rocks down in a mortar pestle using an sds max hammer drill with a bushing tool before feeding the MightMill. This crusher will crush the hardest rocks that I have had problems breaking down first with the sds max tool!

Great comment! I pinned it for your in depth review. Working on those hardened shackles still...I'm getting there! 😁
Nice color, well done!
Thanks brother! I'd love to run my mill down in your guys' area...tons of nice material you got down there :-)
Great video thanks for sharing
Thanks man, I appreciate it! It was fun to shoot, and nice to find some good gold too. I'll be doing a video soon that I think you might like...stay tuned!
I just purchased one of your mills and spouts from your EBAY site today. I'm so excited to get prospecting with it! Thanks...
Thank you very much! I'm sending out shipping details now. Good luck in your prospects, I hope you find a rich deposit...they're still out there just waiting to be discovered!
Thanks for sharing the adventure! Nice recovery there! Looking forward to getting mine into the field asap!! Happy new year, heavy pans!!
Thanks, it was a lot of fun! Looking to return in spring time, along with some other really great spots I know of in Central Nevada. Happy New Year and wishing you lots of gold for 23!!!
Thanks for a great video. Looks like a good way to test area rocks for color. Thanks for sha ring yhour adventure.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Thank you for watching! I have plans for other nearby areas this spring. Merry Christmas!

Nicely done!
Thanks man! You can checkout my vac setup I mentioned on my "Limonite" video. Thanks for the sub!
You have a well-thought-out system. Good planning. I hope you find the Big one.
I appreciate it! I always strive to make my product the best it can be, and I'm really happy with this latest version. I'll have more units available in October.
SWEET TRIP" NICE RESULTS!
Thanks, I was pleasantly surprised myself. Now to find the time to return....
Hey thanks. That was really nice.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!
Wow. You have thought of every detail. Excellent rock crusher 👌🙂 👍72 from me!
Thank you sir! I appreciate the kind words :-)
Thank you sharing. New to your channel. YeeYee
Thanks! I had a lot of fun sampling this area, and it was nice getting some gold too!
Great job all around fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream fam. Gold Squad Out!!!
Thanks man!
Grab a bunch of that...✌️😎

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, it's like a Ninja for rocks lol! Lots of gold out there to be found, especially in AZ!
Maybe it could be beneficial to try and bring a sensitive vlf metal detector in also🤔
I agree, but another person would be handy for more equipment. When you're hiking into a remote location, every pound counts, especially when it's the desert, and hot out...yuck!

This trip surprised me, and it's definitely on my list of places to return to some day. Thanks for the sub!
@@southernoregonprospector9074 dude for sureeee
New to your channel…nice video but you need a tripod and a ATV 😂 found a decent spot if you had a ATV you could load up on specimens
Thanks, and for sure I do! ...especially the atv. It's crazy how stuff doesn't look far on Google earth, and then you start walking LOL! I plan on doing a trip to Tybo and surrounding areas next spring, so I might hit this spot again.
Pricey. Especially if you're an overseas buyer. Plus shipping. Plus sales tax. Plus import duty.
It can be, for overseas, but nobody else makes them like mine :-) And all others are more expensive than mine. After this last batch is gone I will be away for a few months, but when I return, all mills will be instock, ready to ship asap.
Wow, can I ask where that can dump was? I love diggin thru thru cans..... Liked n Sub'd

@@southernoregonprospector9074 Thank you, I live in Fernley, NV (Hour East of Reno) and want to explore NV, Moved to NV 3 yrs ago..... Thanks again!

Are you selling any of these to dealers to sell? I would love to offer them at our store. Feel free to reach out to me if so. Thanks!
order one if you got a month to wait for it to show up. i know i bought one and still aint seen it yet

Hi, at how many rpms do you run the mill (safely)?
The mill itself is made out of 3/16" thick steel, so it can safely handle the rpms of a standard grinder, which is around 10,000 to 12,000 rpms. The bearing however is rated at 5800 rpms, so that's why I say to only run it in short bursts or short amounts of time. This gives the bearing a chance to cool and not be damaged. If you have a variable speed grinder that can have the rpms turned down, then you can run it constantly with no worries about damaging the bearing.
What will the price point be? Seems perfect! Nice job.
Thank you! I'm very proud to say that I have kept my mill "inflation free" because I sell them for the *same price* as when I first released the mill 3 years ago.... $375 for the mill and $55 for a discharge tube with 2 screen sizes that attaches directly to the front door.
I need your contact information, I'm needing the directions for taking out the bearings please

Go to Mount Baker Mining and Metals. He will show you how to process your ore on UA-cam by smelting it. His channel is mbmmllc.
Oh yeah, I'm very familiar with Jason's channel. Lots of great info there.
