6 Replies and 8702 Views New dredge!  8702  6 Started by  s.britch@lafilm.edu Hiya fellas! Well today, I put some money down on my first dredge! Kind of a weird situation. My friend manages a pawn shop and called me up. He hooked me up, $500! But I have not seen it in person yet. I just have a picture of it. Anyone know what kind of dredge this is I know he said that it's a B&G engine with a Keene sluice. Not sure of the size though. Any help would be appreciated! I won't actually get it until I pay the rest off in full, and I have plenty of time left for that since ...

This fight has been going on for a long time, Why do we keep losing The facts should win the day, but they don't, why What is eventually going to happen every state is going to be reduced to nothing more than panning, every state will resemble the state of Vermont which is hands and pans only.

11 Replies and 20948 Views 2 Backpack Dredge - good idea?  20948  11 Started by  ed@braggfamily.com After 3 years into this, I'm ready to get my first dredge. I've got an opportunity to acquire a Keene 2' backpack dredge for $550, lightly used. Is this worthwhile, or should I just be saving up for a 3 or 4'  Are the nozzles interchangeable  Besides a wet-suit, what kind of equipment do I need besides standard prospecting gear for highbanking/panning   Regards, Ed

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...

3 Replies and 8404 Views Coastal Dredging: Idle Thoughts  8404  3 Started by  bjones@castlejones.net 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 ...

7 Replies and 14270 Views AZ dredge permit.  14270  7 Started by  454BEN@GMAIL.COM 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.

1 Replies and 6249 Views Could you measure your dredge baffle to help me with a homemade one?  6249  1 Started by  ErikLeland@yahoo.com  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!
