- We have over 1,000 videos on this channel. This is our most popular one with almost one million views! See why so many people like it. Watch David from Georgia use this efficient, portable, diamond-finding machine he designed and built to find genuine, USA diamonds at Arkansas' Crater of Diamonds State Park. He operates and explains it while he has it set up on the North end of the Crater's diamond search field with their iconic, old, Mine Shaft Building in the background. Here is a link to a companion video. These two men are friends with different designs on how to efficiently find diamonds. I think you will like this video, too: • The Automatic Sarucca ...
The “interviewer” such a genuine guy, seemed fully interested the whole time , asked good questions, added some humor and complimented the gentleman. How life should be , sharing
Thank you so much. Yes, I just came across him working in the diamond field. I was impressed with his set up, and asked if I could do a video interview. He's a nice guy and agreed. I was genuinely interested in and impressed with the equipment he made to find diamonds. I appreciate your encouraging comment. Thanks for watching my video.
Hard working guy. Hope he finds all he's looking for. Real belief in mining here. Good job find lots.
Na that hot chick with the bucket needs more luck and hopes.
@@Freeknickers24 she needs to hang with Dave; get herself a Diamond machine and she’ll be hot and ... rich?
He's an amazing engineer. His setup would be completely marketable in its current state.
Yes, I agree. But I've heard he's made some modifications and upgrades since last year's model. He plans to return to the Crater of Diamonds State Park in a couple of weeks. I hope to record another video of his upgraded equipment.
@@genuinediamondsinar3253 Yes please :)
@@genuinediamondsinar3253 tell him to go on SHARK TANK! LOL it would be a messy demonstration though
@@DustyMcFarland Yes, it would get their floor all messy.
Would be good in the outback for opal and gold
Who else was expecting him to start a motor?
The site has rules and restrictions, you can’t use motors, only hand power.
@@eugenecbell You are so right. This is a quiet state park. Motors would be noisy and smelly and potentially dangerous. The park has rules for a reason, but it would make the work a lot easier.
@@genuinediamondsinar3253, motors may make the work too easy and the park could be sucked dry of diamonds in just a couple of years and then it would not be fun to look for diamonds anymore.
I thought 'potato sorter'.
Use of a d c motor and 12v battery also prohibited?
The man who sells the shovels has the real treasure.
Maybe so, but it isn't about the money. It is about the ADVENTURE!!!
@@genuinediamondsinar3253 Yea, but no money...fewer if any adventures. At least with money, you can create as many adventures as you want. So I want to be the guy who sells the shovels.
Id also like to add something. The reality is when you try to go on adventures with little to no money, all you end up with still is little to no money. But...if folks dont mind that reality, then to each his own. Proceed. Just dont expect things to change any time soon.
@@-Uranos- Amen great thinking . You can do so many things when you are backed by funds!
If motors were allowed, this would be the set up I would want. Since it isn't allowed at the state park I have it set up nearby and am sampling another, known diamond intrusion: ua-cam.com/video/CILpEFq7pLs/v-deo.html
Working the most with the least amount of effort. Good for him. May he find his fortune tax free and no one the wiser.
Who said anything about tax free? HAHAHAHAHA That's a good one.
@@8MCDonalds8 Tax man is always lurking.
@@8MCDonalds8 if I found a big ol rock i deff wouldnt be letting unlce sam in on the take
Simply a hand powered trommel - a common Gold mining tool.
Trommels come in all sizes, from 6" to over 6' in diameter and usually engine powered with pumped water to wash the gravel. The internal helix (an inside-out wood screw looking set of spiral ridges) has to be used because his trommel is set-up on the level -- whereas almost all others are set up with a gentle slope to move the 'oversize' rock through.
I made mine as well. - Joe -
Yes, you are right. This one is ideal for his application because motors are not allowed in this state park where you get to keep all of the diamonds you find.
@Joe S, how do you fabricate the internal helix? And, is there a formula to get the correct pitch? I mean, you don't want the material moving too quickly, or it won't be cleaned well enough before it gets discarded. Thanks!
I went there, found a couple of small diamonds. Near where this guy propected. When you go look around, You are digging in a hole that had been dug into for many years, plus this is a tailings pile. You need to go up on the top of the hill or in the woods. Behind the building to the south are the old separator wheels, this is where the tailings came from. When we were in he office checking our finds a couple of guys that had been prospecting in he woods came in with some good size finds. We went there to have fun. We also went to Colorado and found gold in two streams, and a lot of lead and copper mines up above Leadville.
Literally this Guy Rocks !!! Rock on brother !!!
I’ve always wanted to go there and look for diamonds :)
This guy has it figured out !!!
You ought to come. It is a state park open to the public 362 days each year regardless of the weather. "Winter" time is best. Today, it is 71 and sunny here on January 25th.
For sure go when it's cool. We went during summer and my wife hated it. Thank goodness Hot Springs isn't too far and there's a lake there.
"I didn't find any till my 7th or 8th year coming"
Wow, that's a can-do attitude. If I failed at something for a fraction of that time, I'd probably look for a new hobby. Glad he figured it out.
Yes, his determination paid off. Thank you for watching this video and for your comment.
“Devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a diamond to steal…”
Ha!
I see lots of Diamonds in this Man's future! Absolutely the best setup I've seen! Great video! Best of luck to all the Diamond hunter's out there!
His set up works well, and it is portable so he can sample various locations at the park's 37-acre search field.
@@genuinediamondsinar3253 I didn't know that they allow you to bring your own wash station. Bet this guy has a flashlight too.
@@lawnman3638 Yes, I even made a video about setting up your own wash station at the state park. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/LDTvoj_2cOQ/v-deo.html
Fastest 10 minute video ever. I've never panned for gold or searched for diamonds. But I appreciate a healthy dose of ingenuity. 👍
I appreciate you watching and leaving a positive, encouraging comment. You really ought to try diamond hunting in Arkansas. It is a fun, American adventure open to the public 362 days each year. Hundreds of diamonds are found there by visitors every year.
Now that is one awesome person😁👍
This is the smartest guy ever! Great job on the homemade equipment man! ❤
Thank you so very much for your encouraging comment. I'm glad you were as impressed with what he's done as I am.
In the 70's,we took a wheel barrel, it never made it past the front door. That is a cool set up,thanks for the vidio.
Are you saying it was too big to fit through the door?
Why didnt it?
David has found and refined what most people never will; one's ingenuity.
Yes!
If motors were allowed, this would be the set up I would want. Since it isn't allowed at the state park I have it set up nearby and am sampling another, known diamond intrusion: ua-cam.com/video/CILpEFq7pLs/v-deo.html
Let's hire this guy to balance the budget!
Amazing Uber ur Republican! Only problem when in power no such thing as balancing budget spending spend. Democratic in office we got to balance
Like when Clinton had a balanced budget with a majority republican congress...lol, democrats...
@@Jp-hv9zj It was balanced on paper only. It looked good but never occurred. Remember, the best laid plans....
Sure, the guy who spends thousands of dollars on travel and weeks and weeks of his time to find a few inconsequential stones would be the right person for that. Not knocking his personal choices at all, but like most hobbies, the pleasure is not in the payout but the experience.
@@blacksquirrel4008 guess you don’t know how much a 29 karat Diamond is worth. He found one earlier in the week.
Me and my wife go there every couple years we have a good time .
But after I went the first time I swore I'd never go back ,we dug in the dirt all week end and didnt find any thing . The way out on the last day a school had a field trip there and this little kid found a diamond on the ground right as we passed him Lmao Moral of the story bring little kids there close to the ground and have sharp eye sight and you tell them theres diamonds out there and there on it .lol
Great story! Thank you for sharing. Kids have done well finding big diamonds at the state park. I even wrote a magazine article (now an ebook) about numerous stories of children finding diamonds at The Crater.
I see he has a wheelbarrow to take the diamonds to his truck.
where is this place..
Now I'm understanding why "family vacations" were the thing from the 50s to the 90s. Lol
Plus, if a little kid finds one, you can swap it for a Candy cane!
Patent this and rent them to sell them. Great job!!! CONGRATULATIONS ♥️
Good idea. I'm glad you like his set up. I appreciate your comment.
How does he know there are not diamonds inbeded in the larger rock debris ?
Looks promising for gold sifting also maybe ?
@@johnbassett3188 Diamonds have a naturally slick surface. Nothing sticks to them.
Good job Dave. That's a nice, well built piece of kit. I hope you've found a nice big diamond to put in a ring for your wife. 💍👍
I'm glad you like what he's made. Thank you for watching and commenting.
That would be the ultimate ring! A diamond you found yourself and had cut and put in a ring for your wife! The size doesn't matter at all! Even better if you found the stone together ❤!!!
@@mikemcdonald2755 Yes, you are right. My wife wears a 3/4 carat diamond I found at the park. It is set uncut in a gold ring. It is special.
When NASA decides to start mining the moon they should call this guy.
Yes, but bring your own water.
They said the moon was made of cheese because the Chinese have mined it for so many centuries the moon is a giant sponge now !!!!
Mini g the moon would reek havoc on the earth, they shuld never take any weight from the moon like that eventually shifting how it makes tides and wind and may fall into the earth ir alingshot away
@@FluidMotionEnergy i opened a restaraunt on the moon but it didn't do very well. the customers complained it had no atmosphere.
@@FluidMotionEnergy well I'm sorry to inform you (and I overall agree with you on this) that there are serious talks and preparations being made by different companies/people/governments regarding their plans and intent to begin industrial-scale mining and drilling on the moon. Some preliminary tests shown positive results regarding their ideas of the exact techniques and equipment they are planning to use, as well as actual samples of moon material that suggest there are large deposits of various desirable/useful elements that they hope to be able to mine successfully. They've also been trying to figure out the best (best in their eyes, I'm sure, which means the least expensive) method to safely house and sustain the necessary workers while automating as many systems as they possibly can, to reduce that number of real workers needed. But I think the biggest hurdle/snag they've encountered is deciding what exact person or nation can lay legitimate claim to the mining rights/deeds of a particular plot of lunar land, since it is ON THE MOON after all, as well as deciding who has the authority/right to decide who the person is, that will making those determinations/decisions regarding those "lunar mining rights". It just sounds like a shit show of various governments and big businesses all whining about each other while also trying to bully each other, in essentially a nightmare beurocratic dick-measuring contest, in which everybody ends up pissed off and unhappy at the end lol
20" bike rim nice touch love the ingenuity here! 👌
Thank you for watching this video and for commenting. I thought he had designed a pretty impressive set up, too. Here is a link to some other people who use a bicycle to provide the motive power for their diamond recovery set up at Arkansas' Crater of Diamonds State Park: ua-cam.com/video/YLdCvd17J0Q/v-deo.html
If I used another ingredient like cement, he would make concrete and possibly already have a hotel built in that place.
It's a state park. They wouldn't want their diamond field covered with concrete or a hotel.
That is an awesome beast he has built! He is getting results that can't be argued with.
You are so right! I was just walking around the search field, saw his set-up, and asked if I could make a video. I'm glad I got it recorded.
I went down there last Nov. to meet a youtuber that I have followed for years and he found a 11pt diamond in just a half bucket of material! I was there when we found it, they really stand out from the rest of the stuff.
Nice to see no high tech gadgets or warning labels stamped all over it.
Yes, like "do not put a baby in this trommel." Thanks for watching and commenting.
You would definitely have to trust the people you have helping you😊 🤜🤛 Good luck in your journey on finding those 💎I wish the best for you!!!!
Give this man the kudos he deserves 👍🏻
Kudos!
Wow great job love the all in one wash station he made
Yes, I am with you on that. I was so impressed I just had to ask if I could record him so everyone could see. I'm glad he agreed. Thank you for watching and for commenting.
Thank you for sharing...
You are welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting. We also have a modern, state-of-the-art diamond recovery plant located just outside of this state park where we run ore from a similar intrusion. Please look for those videos as well. I think you will find them interesting.
Here is a link to a video of the plant running this week: ua-cam.com/video/vMyCHx2A4Mg/v-deo.html
I love the Creative Mind !!
And it works! And it is portable. I appreciate your comment.
VERY COOL!!!! GREAT JOB DAVE!
I am glad you like what he has done here. Thank you for watching and commenting.
We Georgians are sure dang ingenious! A farmer I bet or raised up on a farm. Fixing expensive machinery causes folks to come up with ingenious answers for complicated situations. Just a thought though........👏👏👏☺️👏👏👏
This is the type of ingenuity that built 🇺🇸America 🇺🇸!
Yes! Thank you for watching, appreciating his design, and for commenting. I agree with you.
I usually find my diamonds at home to going through the wife's jewelry box LOL
That would be one way to do it. I've actually found more of a concentration of genuine diamonds at jewelry stores. They just frown on it when I say, "Look what I just found" and try to leave the store with them.
The camera man sounds like the guy from Philly who does the hilarious skits. "Would you look just look at it" 🤣😂🤣😂
The guy making the video sounds just like ed bassmaster. "Would you look at that" lmao
Hahaha
Well I did “look at it”......heee
Its funny that i found this video. The guy who made the little tromel lives like 15 mins from me here in ga
@@stricnine69 Wow! Small world.
@@genuinediamondsinar3253 I agree. I went to the diamond field last year and it was so incredibly hard to find one. (Stayed 4days, never found 1)
That is cool. Smart man. Necessity is the mother of ingenuity and invention.
Yes, I was impressed with his set up. I'm glad he let me make this video so you could see his efficient method. Thank you for watching and commenting.
If motors were allowed, this would be the set up I would want. Since it isn't allowed at the state park I have it set up nearby and am sampling another, known diamond intrusion: ua-cam.com/video/CILpEFq7pLs/v-deo.html
Good ol American ingenuity right there, love it!!!
Yes! And it works well.
An honest working. God bless him.
Yes! You can't fault a man who works hard and is honest.
Very interesting everyone needs a hobby it seems like we all get to busy and dont take the time to do things like this.. very nice thanks for the video
Thank you for watching. I love the adventure of seeking and finding diamonds at The Crater. I have found 176 genuine diamonds at this state park so far. My wife says it isn't a hobby with me--it's an obsession. I'm not addicted to diamond finding. I can quit whenever I want to. I just don't want to.
That man is a genius. You have to admire Inventors!! What is so cool is that it is "human powered."
Yes! I was impressed with his set up, and was pleased he granted me a video interview for my "Genuine Diamonds In AR" UA-cam channel. Everything has to be human powered at the state park. No motors of any kind are allowed. It's quieter and safer for everyone that way. Thank you for watching my video and for commenting.
You might like this one, too. These two men are friends. I recorded both videos at the Crater on the same day. ua-cam.com/video/XMKY5UZPmJ0/v-deo.html

With the baseball bucket sitting there, total Georgia man
I asked an old prospector where is gold in these California hills? He said it's where you find it!
Yep, and you've got to go looking to find it.
There is gold to be found in almost any river in the mountains and at the base of the mountains where the rivers start to slow down and pool at the lower elevations. It's also in the ground if you know what type of rocks and quartz to recognize because the quartz forms with gold veins.
@@13_13k There is gold in every state, but there is hardly any natural gold in Arkansas. There's none worth pursuing. I've tried. You can find gold rings where people kayak and canoe. I've done that. I've done much better with diamonds. I've found 177 at the state park so far. Two of them weighed more than two carats each.
@@genuinediamondsinar3253 ---- that's so cool. It's crazy how gold and diamonds are both not rare, yet with diamonds, their value comes from market manipulation.
De Beers controls the majority of the world's diamonds, except for the Russian mines, so they limit the diamond availability for the higher grades, and the thing about gold is that, even though there is modern gold mining going on, the majority of the gold that is in people's possession, like the gold that kings and queens and countries own, is the same gold, physically the same gold that ancient rulers and royalty owned, that Vikings pillaged, that was used to pay for wars and for marriages, that jewelry and coins were made of that Pirates stole.
It just gets melted down and turned into whatever is the best way to keep it stored. It doesn't rot, it doesn't change with age, it doesn't corrode, or rust or go through any chemical changes like oxidation. It's pretty much the perfect natural product.
All the gold in California is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills under somebody else's name
I AM ALSO AN INVENTOR. I needed something that would help me move bricks more easily. So I took a perfectly square brick, cut the 4 corners off. This left an almost round shape. I was able to mount this shape under a crate. This octagonally shaped brick can spin while holding the crate up Now I can put quite a lot of bricks in the crate and transport them with less effort.
Nice! Always looking for an easier way to get the job done.
And who says you can’t reinvent the wheel.
Was anyone else expecting to see a diamond at the end?
Not really no, this looks like a hobby
I have found 177 diamonds from this state park so far, but I rarely find one while I am there. We dig and wash as much material as we can while we are there. We take the best washed gravel home with us, and find the diamonds at that time.
@@genuinediamondsinar3253 I see.. however one out of the pocket would have been nice. Looks like fun though.
@@Michael-vp4zt I had not planned ahead for this interview. I happened across him working at the park, asked for a video interview, and just shot from the hip.
@@Michael-vp4zt Here's a look at genuine, uncut diamonds from Arkansas: ua-cam.com/video/udpRtnQgfkg/v-deo.html
I’d add a windscreen washer pump from a 1976 Ford Escort Mk 1, with the foot pump, to add a little trickle of water blast in at will.

This is factory of the future the guy has only one employee . Hackers from China and Russia they have given up to their dreams to hack into his system. I would recommend him to get a dog for system protection.

You need to come search through his tailings. It's finder's keepers at this unique, state park.
Lol,
I'm up in Oregon, but have always put a thin layer of Vaseline on flat surface at top or middle of my sluice. Here & in Georgia just for that stray Garnett or gem..
WOW. Yes it's a mini wash plant modified for diamonds. Been using them for gold for oooooo, over 100 years.
Yes, and the designed has been modified to be accepted for use at this state park where they do not allow motors.
Next he’s gonna have a gigantic glass see thorough rock polisher and he’ll just pick out the shiny ones
Diamonds are everywhere
It is what you call a trommel It is already a machine used in gold recovery. It is unique as the mesh used is what could be patented as a trommel already is.
Yes, you are right.
@@genuinediamondsinar3253 I do like the way he configured it to be park friendly.
@@spagsketti Yes, it's quiet and safe.
I have never hunted for diamonds but a little gold and silver in the west. Quite an interesting setup. Thanks.
Diamond hunting at this state park is a great, American adventure. I love it! I have found 177 diamonds at this public park so far where their policy has always been finder's keepers.
We have a larger diamond recovery set up running just a short distance outside this state park. Please take a look at it: ua-cam.com/video/vMyCHx2A4Mg/v-deo.html
add a 400 watt solar panel with a DC drive unit on it.....walk away and find some more dirt.
No motorized equipment of any kind is allowed at this state park.
Arkansas is heaven for minerals
This is cool! I'm going to check out your other linked video now. Lol and I live in Australia and I still find this fascinating.....both the human desire for precious stones; as well as the human ingenuity and efficiency. I love learning about inventions that increase efficiency
It is a fun adventure and the only diamond pipe in the world open to the public for just $10 per day, and you get to keep what you find. MOST people don't take it as seriously as this man. Thank you for watching my video and for commenting.

It's spicy when people are doing something you've never seen any other people doing. Thank you for watching.
Now you need to rig it to run on a cordless drill
Cordless drills or any motor of any kind is not allowed in this state park.
Good old American ingenuity , gotta love it.
Yes, Sir!
should start bagging and selling the rocks that are expelled lol
That is not allowed at the state park. And each visitor is only allowed to remove 5 gallons of washed gravel per day, but you can't sell them.
That is a nice setup. of all the ones ive seen out there so far this is the best set up ive seen. You could take that setup and really expand it with a lot more upgrades to make it even easier. but definitely a very good setup as is. I've been out to the mine several times. i've seen this gentleman at the end of the day pulling it back to his truck. very cool.
I love what he has invented here. Yes, it could be improved on, but you can't drag too much equipment with you or that would be all that you would get done. This is compact, portable, yet efficient. I think it works well. Thank you for watching my videos and for your comments.
@@genuinediamondsinar3253 Yessir. I enjoy the videos. Especially since i've been out there quite a few times.

Yes, this system is very nice. i'd be happy to use it if i were him.
That moment the property owner comes by and asks what he found on his land.
This land is Arkansas' Crater of Diamonds State Park. Visitors pay just $10 per day and are allowed to keep all of the diamonds they find, regardless of how large and valuable they are. I have found 177 diamonds at this state park so far.
It's a park lol not someone land.
I found a petrified dinosaur tooth and left.
@@gerald4027 Dinosaurs definitely roamed this area. Just a few miles away they found lots of dinosaur tracks preserved in rock. There used to be a shallow sea here, and they walked along the shoreline.
@@abrahamlincoln6619 You are right. It is a state park open to the public for a $10 per day search fee. There are still a lot of people who have no heard about this unique, state park and the genuine, American adventure you can enjoy there.
I've been there and it is axciting to dig and go through it. We always took it home and go through it more carefully. The dirt is a green color.
Yes, you are exactly right. Since you've been there you understand we don't spend our time at the Crater looking through everything for diamonds. We take it home and find them there. Several people have commented they wanted him to find a diamond. Well, he did, but just not in this video. He took his material home and found the diamonds later. Thank you for watching and commenting. Happy diamond hunting!

I remember my grandmother having a pedal powered sewing machine and was thinking the same thing; a similar pedal might work to spin the drum.
Awesome job ty. I hope you hit it big
Thanks for watching and for the encouragement and best wishes.
You should let that guy know that he could build a water filter drain on the concentration tank and the sifting tank to clean the water out as he goes so water is as clean as possible while collecting concentrate. Empty tanks with simple filter to get the muddy water out. Into clean tanks or buckets to be used again.
Yes, but that is just more gear to haul around. His goal was to have a compact, mobile wash station.
Yea I understand but a simple drain hole with maybe shop towels to filter and maybe just a couple more 3 gallon buckets. That guy is a genius!! He's definitely got the best method out there. He should try to build more and refine and sell em!! Idk it's a thought but that would drive the competition! Lol. Great idea regardless!! Amazing minds!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍
You are welcome. I am glad you liked it. Thank you for watching and commenting on my video. I've made 350 others. Maybe you could find others you would like to watch on our "Genuine Diamonds in AR" UA-cam Channel.
That took some engineering to build and creative thinking to design. He could and should probably patent it and make them to order for people who go hunting for diamons there regularly.
Yes, that is a great idea.

Its a diamond finding station, to be clear
Well put. Concise. I bet you write pretty dope stories or poems.
Thumbs up to thinking and building what u need. 👍
Yes! He thought it through, built it, tried it, and it worked great, in my opinion. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Those handles should be rings.
Yes, there are always ways to improve.
They are going to be...Diamond Rings !
Does anyone else think the guy making this video sounds like the dude from the video “Well Would you look at that “ lol
Just look at it! Will you just look at it!? Oh my goodness... Look at it!
It works to separate genuine diamonds from the ordinary, volcanic rocks.
If motors were allowed, this would be the set up I would want. Since it isn't allowed at the state park I have it set up nearby and am sampling another, known diamond intrusion: ua-cam.com/video/CILpEFq7pLs/v-deo.html
This was just wonderful to watch for me... 💪🇺🇸
That makes me happy to hear it. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I think you would probably enjoy watching this one, too. We recorded this at our private diamond mine which is at a secret location very near the public, Crater of Diamonds State Park in SW AR. ua-cam.com/video/vMyCHx2A4Mg/v-deo.html
I was waiting for the guy to ask him "how you power this baby up" then he started turning it manually 😔😔😔😔
Yes, that's the rules at this state park--no motors of any kind. Everything must be hand operated. And that includes your shovel.
Good ole American ingenuity.

He could sale these and stay clean from here on out
Yes, but he loves the diamond hunting adventure....and getting dirty.
@@genuinediamondsinar3253 I think I would to
@@flipflop8989 It is exciting. I've found 177 genuine diamonds at this public park so far.
@@genuinediamondsinar3253 that’s awesome. What kind of money are they worth

Necessity is the mother of invention
Yes1 Thank you for watching this video and for commenting. I've also heard: "Laziness is the mother of invention." But that's not the case here. This man is not lazy.
Funny, I was expected to see some diamonds found......
Time at the park is limited to 8AM to 4PM. We try to wash as much as we can and concentrate the heavies during that time. We take our centers home, let them dry, then look through them. That is when we find the diamonds---not while the meter is running on our time at the park. We can find diamonds inside on a rainy day. That always makes the day brighter when you find them.
I have no idea why I spent this time watching this. I’m not looking for diamonds. But it was interesting
Patent that shit dude and make a million.
You are a few centuries behind getting a patent for it. Lol.
Mine the miners
Great stuff !
I'm glad you like it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Since you liked that hand-operated, diamond-recovery equipment I think you'd enjoy watching this powered system. It is in operation at our private diamond mine just outside of The Crater of Diamonds State Park. We are processing ore from The Worthington Diamond Mine.

I thought Huel Hauser was dead.
He’s a legend
No, but your eye doctor is obviously.
@@RedEye19 He SOUNDS exactly like Huel Hauser, who is definitely dead. You don't go to the eye doctor for sounds, professor.
that portable wash plant he made is Awesome! now, if he where to make a mechanical Saruka platform that took the weight of the Saruka itself off of his arms and allowed him to work it with minimal effort even more so than already. bet he could run all day for weeks with that set up there haha... its something ive noticed though, that the Saruka step is still very energy intensive, and a bit hard on the back if leaning over a tub. i havent found the most efficient or comfortable height for using it yet, so i wanted to build something that could support the weight and mechanically do the motions for concentrating for the Centers, but also do more bulk processing to remove as much of the silt as possible...
I’ve been brainstorming a mechanical saruca. I spend the majority of my day working the saruca. If I can come up with something it will be my next upgrade. Wish me luck!
@@davidmcbrayer6458 thats awesome hehe, good luck indeed. so, allow me to mention my thoughts on the device that could be built. so, it would have a platform, set at just the right height for the material to be in the water, but not too deep. could be adjustable too. the platform would have a ring like bearing and "stop-points" where you could use to turn it the 90º one your line of material is made. then, with a connection point on one side woudl be a rod arm or piston arm on a type of gear increase, or reduction, depending on what works to properly make the heavies move to the center. i figured the way i do it, its maybe 4-5 shakes of the sides per second or so. though i dont know how much force is required to move the material properly, but that could be experimented on with prototyping. then, the platform itself could have a mechanism to allow the shaking to flatten the material. maybe just a couple of posts set in the ring bearing, that wont come out while the screen is being "rocked" but will easily come out once you are ready for the drain and flip. so, with those ideas in mind, ive been looking for some one to help design and build one i could use in the normal wash basins at the park, or could be modified to suit your mobile stations too. =)
@@EddieSchirmer The stop points would easily be made by an implementation of the Geneva Drive. Look it up here on youtube. It's a mechanical marvel.
@@davidmcbrayer6458 It was good to meet you there! Hope you are well over in your neck of the woods!
@@davidmcbrayer6458 I want one can you message me a price or how to build im moving down soon 😁
