Jerry--- My Beck will find more gold than your Beck. (GRIN)
How many "RPMs" (strokes) per minute for the Beck bellows
box??? Anyone out there give a guess--- hint, it is the same
as for the Nick's nugget.

I have tentatively(sp?)sold one of my Nick's and am keeping the other one. I wanted the Beck as it handcranks easily and
only weights 35 pounds.

However, it now seems much heavier than it did 40 years ago. I think Harold Beck somehow made them lighter back then.

Yes, I know a secret spot. So do you--- Your Bug-2 with the 6.5 shoe is finding the spots.

Now looking for two things: The small "flimsy looking" bolt
on crank handle for the Beck and also a 25 foot 3/8-inch diameter circular leather "sewing machine belt" for the Nick's.
