c1900 - Hand-made wood & metal model of a typical refining operation. This realistic rendition measures 33.5"Lx12"Wx14.5"H. The real gravel base platform, rusted corrugated tin roof & siding, tank, ladder and mining shack add realism to the overall look. The Pachuca tanks (2) are both wood and metal, and measure 10" in dia. These Pachuca tanks were a crucial part of the refining process, specifically for agitation of the slurry in the cyanide circuit. Typically arranged in a row of 4, the last lower than the others for gravity feed and collection, the agitation was designed to be constant to separate the gold particles from the ore constituents. A realistic and unique model for the mining collector. -62022
