Kewl,

720,

Russ dropped me a note, I figured I'd weigh in.

Andy moved to Texas, I had been in contact earlier this summer with him, I was his webmaster, he took the website offline because of time issues. He has three young kids under 5 and works about 60 hours a week.
I have one of the TRIIs and the original prototype . I love it. I messaged Andy to see if he is thinking about building again. Last we spoke he was not, maybe someone else with the tools may want to pick the design from him.

He went to a lot of work on the design ie water flow, etc. It works very well, and was designed specifically to catch the flour gold in Nebraska.

I will try to call him tonight and see what he is up to.

Thanks, I'm really hopeing to find one I really think it would be fun, I've been useing a a52p and a52, easy,.... I do like how the a52p shows gold like a neon sign. I do like the thought of a bit of mystery ( unless it has a window ) to it. Plus where I'm working' the gold has been pretty consistent and I just need to be able to run more material to empty it out :)
Just ran into blue-ish/green and red/orange-ish cobble with both colors in the same shovel full. Didn't really pull much, but I'm right at the top 6-8" into it ( had to get home, ya know ) anyway that off point
Thank you

Are you saying that you got one of the Top Runner 2 sluices? If so, COOL!

[720fly]

Yes I did :) Nebraskadad made it happen. Should have it by Tuesday, so excited. Me and my partner are going out today with the a52 and a52p and all I can think of is how much better things will be once I get my TR2. The Gods of gold are starting to get nervous hehehe

[russau]

Congrats on the new gear!
I have no idea what a Top Runner is and hope it does well for you! Post up some pics of the thing when ya get it running if you could.

Swizz the Top Runner 2 is a quality made sluice that has its own classification built in. do a goggle search if youd like for it. Andy started making these while living in / close to Omaha Nebraska. the only reason he stopped making these was because he found work in Texas and is to busy to make them now.
