Admin nuggethunting Posted February 16, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hello All, I have some cracks and crevices I have been blowing a good amount of fine gold out of and a few pickers here and there. I'm curious how much gold is there, so I want to dry vac the cracks and crevices up and run it through a drywasher. I have been using a gas powered Vac-Pac for years, but want to give the electric version a try. Any advice on a good Electric Vac and small Generator to power it? Brands and sizes would be appreciated if you have used this method. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing8046 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I have used a cordless DeWalt vacuum with good success in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowkiller Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) I use a champion 1200 watt generator from tractor supply. They sell for 200 light weight quiet and start every time even after sitting. And a 100 dollar steel canister 1.25 in hose shop vac from Lowe's. I think it's a good combination.

Admin nuggethunting Posted February 17, 2018 Author Admin Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hey Cowkiller, Is the steel canister separate from the shop vac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldies1955 Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Might try PMing Boulderdash. He uses a electric one all the time. Tom H. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highdesertranger Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 for sampling I second the DeWalt cordless. then when you find something bring in the big boys. I have a gas powered, a Rigid electric and a Honda 2000i. highdesertranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
