This is a really fun project we are working on. A 6" Super Max dredge with a sump and extended floats and frame, but the really big kick is the 3 motors and pump with an 8" dredge to move the overburden quickly. So the dredge can be used as an 8" to move the low-grade overburden, but when getting in there and cleaning the higher-grade bottom material, switch back to the 6" and capture all the fine flour gold. I am curious how well the 24" box will handle the fines due to the higher water velocities. It may be okay since the three pumps work at a higher pressure into the jet rather than at a higher volume. You can make a power jet work with higher volume pumps or higher pressure. They both work, so this should be interesting. We can make the switch back and forth by changing out a few bolts and side plates in the dredge sluice. The conversation should only take about 20 minutes or so.
Hey Mark. Is this the dredge coming to nz
Damn that looks good.
Thats a beauty!
Awesomeness!
Nothing but the BEST from you guys !!!
Please take a look at this fantastic area. Everyone is having fun finding gold. It just does not get much better than this.
Patrick is currently up north on the Yuba River mining with his annual group of friends. These are some pictures of the gold they are finding, but the main thing is that everyone is having a great time.
