I have pulled up things from rivers such as sets of keys, small nuggets, even a 100 year old silver cross, fishing weights nails etc with a hand dredge.This is the Keene 175 Combination Dredge & Power Sluice, powered by a 6 HP Intec Pro Engine. Work in minimal water and since its done by hand there are no regs to worry about.Īlso, they dont need a trap to hold in rocks either, If you move quickly and keep pulling on your way up you lose NOTHING. the tube style dredges only weight a few pounds. if you want to go deeper, rake them out.īest part is. I also recommend a rake and shovel as rocks larger than 3 inches will be all thats left in the bottom of the hole. In a couple hours you can clear a pretty good sized area. Granted you still have to muck rocks from the hole your digging but you would be amazed at how much and how fast you can dig a hole with one, feed it into a bucket with a classifier on top and or then into a sluice and or pan it out by hand. It sucks up the bigger rocks that you can use a classifier to toss away as to having to pick them out by hand. It sucks up more, and you can move more by hand faster. If your going to remote locations and want to move material and dig deep I would recommend a 3inch hand pump dredge.
