Quite the production type rig, with Keene's new dust reduction features.

Only 51 lbs at $1399 with no motor, though I assume it can be had for less. My brother has one of the older style motorized versions and likes it. This newer version is interesting because it can also be converted to a highbanker or dredge. I have been considering the smaller 12V model myself but it is doubtful I would use it much. I like swinging a detector more than running a shovel. There are however way more places a good drywasher can find gold than places good for detecting.

$2149 with motor and blower (Model 191)

Have you seen this one? Lightweight and very portable.

A friend of mine has one ordered, be interesting to hear what he has to say about it after he has used it for a while. I'll let you all know once I hear from him.

The Whippet, like  other small drywashers is good for sampling or modest output. I'm looking for a machine that can really produce

How much production do you need? For $2k, if you had an axle or old trailer frame you could weld together a 3 tray towable unit, especially if you got the trays used, not sure what they cost these days new. It's possible, I found 3 used trays on AZ craigslists all at the same time about 3 or 4 years ago when I was going to buy and old one that someone else built. But after looking at it I was pretty sure I could build it myself.

Here is the unit I was looking at, at least I'm pretty sure it was this one or maybe just a very similar one, the guys in this vid are on this forum occasionally, or at least one of them is.
