started running some of the milled rock through the gold cube to get the fine gold, (and a lot of metal fillings) from the wearing out of the chain links in the impact mill, anyway a magnet sorts out the metal from the chain links 

After running a couple of pan fulls of material I flushed the the mats and used a magnet in the results in the gold pan to remove some of the metal from chain links

This is the wear on the chain links in the impact mill after 32kg of quartz going through

and a short video of the gold cube running

Do you use grade 8 chain? Tried AR plate for the flail ends by any chance?

I have an impact mill I built some time back almost exactly the same design. Keep meaning to try out some different metal in it but then just throw more chain on to get a job done and forget about it again until next time.

I'm going to try the hardened security chain and see how that goes, for now I have just put "D" links in with the same chain link attached till I get the hardened security chain
