LETS DREDGE UP SOME GOLD 🤩 Ladies and gents I welcome you to another west coast gold prospecting adventure. Today I’m with my buddy Mitch and he brought his 3” high banker dredge combo. And we decided to start dredging in a spot I left off on a few years ago.
I hope you enjoy

Fell asleep last night before I could watch this. Great video brother. I think this one is going to do well. I feel you on the back. I feel so lucky to be physically well in my 40s, but even my back muscles are tight the morning after digging. I really wish I had a dredge. A brand new Keene with all the trimmings costs about the same as the transmission I just bought.

Weld a screw on the end of the suction pipe! You don’t want all those rock. Going through your pump! You will destroy it maximum wire 1/4 inch wire! Weld it to the intake pipe! So it doesn’t come off!

I hear ya. We have pulled ounces out of this spot in the last few years. I think we were losing gold due to a couple things. He had the water ripping through the sluice box and it didn’t seem like the riffles were exchanging properly.
