Our new range scrap miner at work.

[websterz]

We're getting a bit more dirt coming out the discharge side than we'd like. This is mainly due to the moisture in the soil, plus the high clay content which we can do nothing about. We're modifying the feed auger to run off the rotation of the barrels so we can eliminate the little 2hp engine. It's a work in progress. Click the image below and it will take you to my photobucket to view the video.

Ok it's very cool, but what are you looking for from it ??

[websterz]

What are we looking for? We're mining scrap lead from an old shooting range.

My buddy Randy ran the rig solo for a few hours today and estimates he got over 200# before he ran out of gas and called it a day.

websterz, that makes me want to go back to the 45 range at Camp Gruber. I helped rebuild the range in 70s, in the
Ok ar ng. Too bad it's all closed now. Lots of lead going to waste there.

That is really cool! LOL! What did you re-purpose for your augers? They kind of remind me of the grain augers we had when I lived at home.

That is exactly what they are.
