My First Post! - Exploring The Fraser River Prospecting!

Nice video!  Could you give a little more detail on the "Milwaukee Vacuum"?  What's the model number?  Have you done any modifications?  Any tricks/tips on using it in these conditions?

Hey!  

Its the entry level model from Home Depot

VACUUM

Was around $150, but I already had the batteries etc.

It works well,  we modified the tip to be a bit smaller so that it doesn't suck up larger rocks,  we are going to make a custom tip for it with a screen to classify down a little smaller once again.  We also shortened the hose so that we increased suction a little bit.  It MURDERS batteries,  that is the down side.

4 batteries might last 45mins?  But if you find some good cracks / crevices its great.

We found it alot faster than "sweeping" and "scraping" up the gravels.   We loosen them up with a prybar a nd then just vacuum away!
