Default Blue Bowl From Pioneer Mining

JUST A QUICK QUESTION, HAS ANYONE HERE ON THE FORUM USED THE BLUE BOWL FROM PIONEER MINING? LOOKS LIKE A GOOD WORKING DESIGN FOR FINES. THANKS EVERYONE.

I use a Desert Fox Spiral Wheel and a Gold Duster Mini Recirc Sluice,but a friend of mine has the Blue Bowl and is completely satisfied with it.It does a good job.

Hi Ron,thank you for the reply and info. I'm not in gold country but I do get a call for small prospecting items from time to time. I might get a couple of them to have around the store here just in case. I think they are worth the money the way it looks. Ok Ron you take care and God Bless ya and I hope your pan turns to gold!

Our club owns a blue bowl, my buddy has a desert fox. We did a test. After the club ran all the fines through the blue bowl, I re ran them through the fox. Recovered a substantial amount, and the fox runs more material faster !! The girl running the blue bowl has many years of experience, she was doing it properly, it just is very time consuming, compared to the fox !! Whatever one you use, be sure to classify and run matching sizes together for best results Good Luck, Rich.
