Drywasher Page

We offer many different brands and styles of DW'ers including: Keene,  Gold Buddy and Beck.

Please call or email for current inventory and prices.

  Keene 151:

We currently have one "slightly used" Keene 151 on hand for a very good price. (SOLD)

  Keene 140 Drywasher:

This DW is powered by a Leaf Blower motor (motor not included).  It could be classified as a "back pack" model (if you're in good shape).  It is an excellent choice if you have found a place with color and want to move a lot of material to recover it.  Pick and shovel not included. (grin)

     Keene DW12v:

The Keene DW12volt drywasher is probably the most versatile DW made.  You can crank it by hand, or it will run on a small 12 volt battery for hours which is an advantage in those areas where a certain amount of stealth is required.  It fits nicely on a quad for getting into those remote desert regions, and will handle a large amount of material per day.

  Gold Buddy Products: (currently out of stock)

Gold Buddy makes a full line of Products including drywashers and re-circulating sluices and highbankers.  They have been a pioneer in lightweight, recreational mining systems. Gold Buddy makes three sizes of this drywasher.  All of their units are of the highest quality at reasonable prices.  Due to the ease of assembly and weight, these small and medium size drywashers are the only DW's we will ship at this time.  Of course all drywashers on this page are available for pickup at our location (depending upon availability).  Gold Buddy DWs operate on a leaf blower motor.  Motors are not included, but are available at you local stores.

  We are Owners and Manufacturers of the world famous BECK DRYWASHERS:

Please CLICK HERE for more info regarding the Beck Drywasher.

  Used - Brewer hand crank Puffer Drywasher.  Lightweight and in good condition.

                            This is a medium size DW that will move a fair amount of material in a days time.

  Used - Custom built Puffer Drywasher.  This hand crank unit was built by a cabinet maker in LA.  It's a medium size DW and a bit on the heavy side with solid boards used. He did a great job.  Even he thought so because he put his card under the tray.

    Used - Hal Jo Puffer.

Here's a nice collapsible Puffer made in Yuma, AZ. (where they know about drywashing) It has been used only slightly.  It is operated with a lever handle instead of a crank.  It's a fairly small DW, and would make a nice backpacker. 

For information or prices on any of these drywashers, please contact us by phone or email.  Thanks ....... russ

         We carry the original VAC-PAC brand vacuum for Prospecting  

An excellent tool to go along with your Drywasher.  It will clean those cracks and crevices on bedrock,

and then you can use the same motor to run your DW!

It is used to remove material (and gold) from rough bedrock surfaces.  It is the  perfect companion for any drywasher that uses a leaf blower for power. So now you can have two great pieces of equipment powered by one very dependable Echo engine.  Snipers also use this for crevicing without a drywasher.  Sucking out good crevices and placing the material into sample bags to haul out to water is a sure way to find good color.
