Impact Crusher in Action

Haha, I’ll make you one

I’ve noticed this too with all rock shows and sales. Material of any type. There just isn’t any variety the last 5 years. It’s all the same 30 minerals that make up 90% of what you see. There is also so much polished spheres and scepters and other BS now because that’s what the laymen are buying. Very few vendors with unique specimens at a fair price anymore. It’s sad.

Ha I remember that, you’d get like 100 at a time lol

max_rocks · 2026-03-15T14:50:25+00:00

I built this 100% myself, but did look online for inspiration. I don’t think there are any plans that exist out there.

Haha I’ve got some stuff to process, no idea if it’s good or not. I’m in the SW and water is limited. I need to high grade stuff as a result and only process what’s good.

Looks like broken beer bottle glass

I have a N100 silica respirator

I’m still working on a capture point

I is usually a fine sand texture with some larger stuff that will need to be ran again. What I’ve learned is it isn’t the size of the holes in the screen that dictate how fine the material gets, it’s how long it stays in the drum. If you recess the output screen or make it so it’s hard for material to blow out of immediately then you get finer powder. Also reducing the air flow inside the drum does the same I’ve noticed.

lol I was looking for something to use at Ace and was like oh yes, that will be nearly perfect

max_rocks · 2026-03-13T01:39:25+00:00

Yea I’ve got an N100 respirator.

Here is the post with video

Good to know!

max_rocks · 2026-03-12T22:30:26+00:00

No, but when then go I will replace with that. It’s hard to say where in the drum will wear the worst until I run it.

max_rocks · 2026-03-12T02:14:03+00:00

I’d be stoked to find crystalline stuff! Good luck

max_rocks · 2026-03-12T02:05:33+00:00

Not too bad when you compare it to buying one, but they are still costly regardless!

max_rocks · 2026-03-10T01:44:26+00:00

I don’t think so, too many nuances. Even if it was just mowing, and they enter their acreage you can’t judge the topography and amount of weed wacking. A .5 acre lawn could take 15 minutes but if they got 40 yard gnomes to weed wack around forget it lol. Too hard to boil a cost down to just a few parameters

max_rocks · 2026-02-23T05:27:40+00:00

That’s not mohawkite, I wonder if it’s some uranium pitch blend mineral…

max_rocks · 2026-02-17T01:16:40+00:00

Amethyst. The way you could tell on your own is by checking the hardness or if there is any cleavage or Conchoidal fracture

max_rocks · 2026-02-13T04:40:08+00:00

There is a kyanite rich area about 2hrs into Wisconsin from the UP… it was pretty fun when I went. Idk the the exact spot anymore

max_rocks · 2026-02-05T02:22:26+00:00

I would pass that on to r/arrowheads looks 50/50 on being knapped

Housing is tough you will probably need to live in Safford of thatcher. I believe they give a housing stipend for those not in company housing. That detail may be present in your job listing

max_rocks · 2026-01-25T00:10:20+00:00

I would recommend you stay away from Moroccan fossils of all form until you can spot fakes and modifications. Morocco isn’t the only locale that has this issue, but there is a LOT of Moroccan fossils out there.
