Drywasher Dave




On a recent trip to the Arizona desert I ran across a prospector
that was doing some wet washing or highbanking.



He goes by the name Drywasher Dave. He said he mostly does
drywashing but now he is shifting to wet washing.



Wet washing is more efficient and if you have a way to haul
water sometimes it's the best way to recover gold.



So he's come up with this system that works for him but soon he's
mounting all this equipment on a trailer. That way he can
pull up and get down to business of recovering
gold right away.



Here is how he transports his water.



 He did a short run while I was there testing the wash and this is his take.
