Gold dredging in New England 5213 0
Started by prospectorjack
We dredge a lot in New England, if you start too early in the season you may find that it can be quite cold. The spring of 2016 was unseasonably warm early so we decided to dredge in the middle of May. When we arrived it was pleasant and our first day was beautiful, that night it started raining and then it rained all the next day. We had to pull the dredge out of the river because it started to rage. Late that afternoon the weather started to clear but then that nigh it got cold. When w...

Coastal Dredging: Idle Thoughts 7372 3
Started by babel17
Anyone know anything about coastal dredging Specifically, is it legal, and how do you go about estimating the required capital investment. Even more specifically, the area I'm thinking about (and I'll tell you, cause I know I'll never be the one to dredge it) is 'False Klamath Cove, California'. I thought that I once read, though I can't find the source now, that this was once the mouth of the Klamath river. Certainly you only have to look at a topo map to see that this ...

AZ dredge permit. 12415 7
Started by nevkid
Talked to the BLM and Corp of Engineers and both said they don't issue dredge permits. The Engineers kept telling me the claim is the one that gets the permit and anyone can work under it. Never heard anything like that and just wondering where the permits are available from what dept. This is small mining not commercial and that is where directed to find info.

Started by TWHaz@protonmail.com
Has anyone with a Claim in California put in a Water driven wheel to run pumps and compressors for dredging It cound be mounted on a mobile barge next to dredge or have supply hoses run from it to several dredges. No moter. We have been running Mills and generating electricity this way in the past. You do not need great elevation changes to turn a wheel. justy flowing water and the right gearing.

Could you measure your dredge baffle to help me with a homemade one? 5004 1
Started by uoduck
Hello all!
I have a 3' keene highbanker/ dredge and I would like to add a baffle. Since it did not come with one originally I am curious what material is usually used for baffles I am thinking of using a 1/4' EPDM rubber mat but I am curious how thick the mats that generally come with dredges are. If someone with a stock baffle could measure the thickness I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
