JimGilmore Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Ok, I'm done for the next 6 months. I got some color. Nothing that would allow somebody to retire but I had fun and now have to go back to take care of mom. I'm wondering if there is a simeple way to add a clock or times to keep track of how much my drywasher runs when I use it. Maybe a simple digital clock. Thugh that would always start at 12:00 when turned on... Anybody have suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvchris Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Google 12 volt hour meters. it would be simple to add it to your drywasher (assuming it's electric) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 A simple stop watch. at the end of your run, write the time down. Grubstake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget to write the times, so it becomes useless fast.I write the start and forget to record the stop. or forget to write the stop and only have the finish.

Bunk Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I would think a start and stop time for the day would work. Even if the drywasher is not running and you are digging some matieral to run, its all part of the process.Bunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the drywasher was preloaded I could run the drywasher and shovel all at the same time non-stop.I cannot say that I ever got the hopper loaded that the drywasher needed to catch up. my drywasaher Could have been smaller for me..Definetly could keep up with two people drywashing. Shoveling and clearing the tailings in unison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
