Description
I confess I know very little about machines or what these enormous machines do, but I'll do my best to describe them with photograph and words!

  I can help out there; this baby is a sediment driven particulant disgronificator, made by Kelmor in prob the early '60s.
I haven't seen one like this in years.

  Random Picture.. neat machine. I love big hulking pieces of machinery.

  Yeah, particulant disgronificators give me a hard on too.

  It's NOT a Particulant Disgronificator, though I can understand your confusion. A particulant disgronificator would need a particle extraction conductor on the side next to where you see the reciprocating deractant reluction chamber, mounted at the top of the above photo.

This is very clearly a picture of an old-school sinusoidal marzelvane. It was probably built and installed in the early fifties.

Depending on how long it was in use, there may be enough gold flakes in the deractant reluction chamber to justify removing and cutting it open. Back when it was in regular operation, that chamber would have been under a lot of pressure, making it time consuming and expensive to cut it open just to remove twenty to thirty thousand dollars of gold; but since it's been sitting for so long, it may be worthwhile to destructively harvest it. Especially with today's gold prices.
