We have our bundles coming back for the holidays Soon
All I want for Christmas is an updated submersible 5" 😊
Do you guys make a small jaw crusher? Seems like nobody makes something for hobby level miners....

How many yards a hour can it "truly" run... hard.
Are there components I can purchase that will help the recovery of my corner keen puffer?
Are these going to be available in Australia ?
Dedonde es y precio
I want one - let's talk soon
Eric Drummond Me too.
Nice! What’s the weight?
I love these go Keene Engineering, Inc.
And where can I buy one from in Australia
Cool machine looking into buying
The weight is roughly 28 pounds. It might go up a little, but we should not break 30 at the top.
I would estimate 1000 pounds per hour. We could run half a yard per hour. I was surprised how fast it eats the material. At the high yardage levels, the fine gold could fall off a bit. Last weekend, the material was damp and would clump in your hand. So we ran the material on the fast side, then ran our tailing a second time a little slower. The speed controller really makes a big difference.
We should have them availbe in Au if we can get Reeds to pull the trigger. We are prepaing a big order for hime now
Look, I am an older guy, 65, and injured. This was so easy to set up, adjust, and use. The recovery was good even in the damp material. I truly enjoyed using it and it is so dam lightweight and easy to move. It made the life of an old person much better. plus I used a 15 lifo battery ran me two days of intermediate use. So cool
I’m gonna get one for my birthday. I’ve been waiting too long.
Spread it out in the wind a bit dries it quickly
how can I contact your sales person without email .I need your WhatsApp or telegram for communication .am ready to buy .from Africa
Sure was shipping was included
The Golden cloud man thinks it's a great machine. I look for Gold every summer in Thornton Colorado.
DW3 Dry Washer – Field Test #13
My brother Pat and I just returned from another field test run with the new DW3 high high-performance dry Washer, and the results were fantastic. From setup to cleanup, this unit exceeded our expectations and what a good excuse to get out of town and do what we love most and we had a lot of fun.
We really put alot of emphasis on keeping the hopper and body small and lightweight to transport around from place to place to simplify sampling. The legs fold in flat against the bellows box. Changing everything from steel to lightweight aluminum. This is what most older people need to have the edge.
The redesigned hoppers are the first hopper to work with a new mechanism that provides a strong upward hit to the classifier and automatically pops the tray to help settle and stratify the material. Material now flows with a even, fluent flow from the hopper, making it the riffles flow better. The new bellows intake porting system and optimized riffle
board performed perfectly, maintaining a steady rhythm with excellent fine-gold recovery.
What really impressed us was the flexibility: the DW3 can run fast and aggressive for production, or slow and smooth for ultra-fine gold. The adjustable speed control makes all the difference in the world. The machine with all the extra vibration worked fairly well even in slightly damp material.
We’re not quite done yet—there’s always room for more improvement. We’re adding more adjustment to the spring-loaded puffer system to increase hopper travel and improve the lower box action, plus nylon washers on the hopper slides for smoother, low-friction movement.
We’re never satisfied and always refining, but the DW3 is nearly there. We’re now gearing up for production of key components—the hopper, recovery box, and bellows—as we move towards, full manufacturing.
Quick and easy set up. Easy operation simple to use. Extremely low current draw less than amp draw. We just ran the machine on a 15 amp 4 pound battery for 2 days. Plus this is the lightest machine in the industry only 28 pounds and capable of moving 1/2 yard per hour. This new dry washer will revolutionize the market for lightweight portable machines for older miners and professionals.
Love your equipment but you’re horrible at responding back to customers.
Seems to move dirt nicely, but how good is catching the shiny
Don’t make it to good. We won’t be able to afford it!
Made for the OLD GUYS so they won't bust a nut
I'll take a Thompson over any dry washer.
I Afghanistan 🇦🇫 I am need a good company
Sounds fantastic!
Great looking new drywasher guys. Keene makes great products and the owners and workforce is awesome! Rob's Detector Sales (robsdetectors.com)
Like to get one of these! Could you send pics of the gold recovered
Have you guys considered adding a bit of a chute at the end of the sluice box to direct tailings away from the unit?
Good for testing banks with no water and really dry . But usually hard lump shit here
Show us the gold!
(Panning Gold in 30 sec) Have you ever seen gold that stick to a device, visit our page
Always keep safe, friends
I used a an original keene ekectrostic concentrator in 1977 and for my only source of income its not as efficient as water for recovery especially in clayey dirt I mainly processed tailings and mine dumps that wa suitable and it paid me you can't get all the gold but if your happy with what is recoverable for your efforts some place s I walked away from then when gold was $14 per gram Australia n would be rich today
I like the way that material hops down the sluice.
Stefan Wronski
Can you please tell me if this is available in Australia? I appreciate it. Cheers Tony
This is my check list for the weekend
What to Take When You Go Drywashing
Proper preparation means more gold and fewer headaches. Over the years, Pat and I have learned the hard way that forgetting a small item—like spare batteries or an air filter—can turn a great trip into a frustrating one. We now pack methodically using duffle or ditty bags, double-checking every essential like a Bugout Bag for emergencies.
Bottom line: if you’re not properly equipped, you’re losing gold and wasting precious time.
DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!

Forgot strong back, kids for digging
And a good sandwich!
Looking for an RP4 shaker table near LA, got one?
I need best and most suitay dry for African prospector
Getting ready for the weekend. We did some last-minute changes, and the machine is working amazingly. Made a small change in the bellows porting and the bumper system. Can't wait to take it out there and find some gold. Fits perfectly in my outside carrier rack with my 10-gallon water tank for panning. For the first time, I think we have everything figured out. Patrick and I, plus Jon Loe, have been out a dozen times plus testing, plus we are just out to find gold as well.
What area do you go to?
Good luck 😎👍
Awesome would love to see it work.
we shold be around benson canyon
Good luck
Have fun.I was going to come out but i'm stuck working the weekend
Awesome and good luck!
Look cool
Have fun! Miss you all out there.
Desert Gold and Gratitude
This weekend, Patrick and I are heading out to the desert to test the new drywasher. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this excited just to get out of town.
I might not be much help this trip, hobbling around on a bum foot, and a aray of other sore body parts.
Someone told me recently, “Be grateful for what you have.” And they’re right. I may not be moving as fast these days, but I’m still out here, surrounded by the people and the work I love. That’s worth more than gold.
Looks like it’s working great 👍
My gosh Mark you got Jeeped this year and your doing better than can be expected best of luck on your dry washer venture. As I always say build it better and they will buy it. Reminds me of the old mining stories of the Mexicans throwing dirt on blankets and shaking the dust off the in the air.
Enjoy. Perfect weather. Good luck ! 😀⚒️⛏️👍
Heavy Pans guys! I really like the changes. I love my DW12.
Glad you’re feeling better. That was close….
Nice,looks like it's working out.
It looks a lot wider and beefy compared to mine. The airflow looks more stable with the poof air blow then mine too.
At Benson Canyon ? Lots of flooding from this summers storms
Yes you guys are blessed to be out there! Thanks for always building quality prospecting equipment. Rob's Detector Sales (robsdetectors.com) Arizona
Thank you for the video!
It’s nice to see Patrick back in action 🤠❤️🇺🇸
Silicosis is no joke... just saying...
Nice improvements but i love my 160.
Love the hopper vibration
Pretty cool set up like it

What to Take When You Go Dry washing
Depending on which dry washer model I bring, I’ll carry a few specific spare parts and supplies. Over the years, Pat and I have gone to the desert only to forget enough batteries for the detector or a critical item, which compromised our whole weekend. Bottom line: if you’re not properly equipped for your mining trip, it equates to a loss of gold — wasting precious time and potentially missing the Big One.
Now we use duffle or ditty bags for everything, checking and double-checking each item. I keep the essentials packed like Bugout Bags for Emergencies.
DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT.

Your Dad. Your Dad was Awesome. Stick to his simplistic ways. In my life I was given the opportunity to escort Israeli rocket scientist around a very secured area. Took them to a museum that showed our vintage rockets sawed in half. They would just stare and not even mumble or even whisper amongst themselves. The rest of the museum didn't matter. I asked, 'Why are you so intrigued with such an outdated and really old weapon?' His answer ..."Sometimes Bruno, old is good."
I like your lists, there has been times that I would have to come up with bush fixes so I could stay mining
Good job
Is the DW3 on the market yet?
I have 2 back to back twenty acre placer Gold claims on the mouth of Beaver Creek off hwy 96 in the town of Klamath River in Northern California half mile from Quigley's store and 20 miles west of Yreka California both for $10,000
What power source are you using, was always wondering
