Ready to take gold prospecting to the next level and do some gold mining? If you want to run more material and ultimately find more gold, step it up a notch with a trommel. The patented Pro Gold Trommel is extremely well-made and user-friendly — perfect for the modern day Gold Rush!
How the Pro Gold Trommel works: Material is placed into the hopper, where the first spray zone washes the material before entering the rotating drum. The second spray zone, inside the rotating drum, washes the material as it tumbles. The third spray zone, outside the rotating drum, keeps the drum clean and helps wash the material. This unique design ensures the material is washed from multiple angles as the drum rotates, allowing a 5-gallon bucket of material to be processed in 2-3 minutes.
As the material is washed and tumbled, the smaller pieces and dirt fall through the drum’s heavy steel screen into the funnel assembly. From there they are directed into the top end of the sluice and get washed through the riffles. The larger material still in the rotating drum is tumbled and washed for the entire length of the drum and dropped out the end onto the trough. The minimum amount of water needed for the 14 inch is 145 gallons per minute, but the manufacturer recommends 190 so that you can adjust the flow down to your liking using the shut off value on the trommel.
Did you see the Pro Gold Trommel on the Discovery channel's "Gold Rush Alaska" hit show? This patented Pro Gold Trommel is heavy duty, easy to maneuver and can process 25-30 five gallon buckets in 1.5 hours! Move more material... get more gold! Watch the videos at the bottom of this page to learn more and see the Pro Gold Trommel in action.
Each Pro Gold Trommel comes with a Pro Inline Screen. The 10 inch trommel comes with a 3" Pro Inline Screen and the 14 inch trommel comes with a 4" Pro Inline Screen.
The Pro Inline Screen captures the particles and vegetation in the water you are pumping to your machine and prevents them from plugging the holes in the spray bars of your equipment.
You just connect a discharge hose from the pump to the inlet end of the Inline Screen. The arrows on the body indicate the water flow direction. Then connect the second discharge hose to the outlet end of the Inline Screen, using additional hose as required to connect to the equipment you are running.

Shipping and delivery of your Pro Gold Trommel: Because of the weight and bulk of these trommels, they ship as freight via a trucking company, FOB Boise, Idaho. Each trommel literally has a crate built around it and is further shrink-wrapped and padded for protection in transit. It can be delivered to a business with a loading dock (generally less expensive), or to your home.
Because the shipping is calculated for your zip code, we will first obtain the shipping costs from the freight company and get your OK before proceeding with your order. Please call us at 503-583-4520 or email us here with your shipping address in order to get a shipping quote.
To give you an example of freight costs, a 10 inch trommel that weighs over 400 pounds on the pallet, trucking across the country to Charlotte, NC 28206 will run about $400 and take 5-7 days. This is a long-distance EXAMPLE ONLY. Delivery to western states would be less. Your zipcode and type of destination (business or residential) will determine your actual shipping costs.
