A rough video of how I put my dredge together. I hope somebody gets some useful information out of it.

Very informative, thanks, also I see your setup for your dive air with the quick connect you have the snap end on the pump with a pop off valve how do you like that verses the nipple end on the pump and no pop off

What do you think about the 3 stage sluice box ? we are not to far apart I’m from Lafayette Indiana
@thomaspennyweightfowlkes40943 жыл бұрын
The 3 stage sluice works fine. In fact if set up properly, it catches gold as good as anything else. I use the gold hog matting to increase my fine gold recovery and decrease the amount of cons I have to carry out.

I live in the Midwest as well, Missouri actually I'm attending the Indianapolis gold and treasure show and I'm going to be purchasing a dredge hopefully. Where can we dredge still ? I've tried searching for rules and regulations for years now and can't get a straight answer I'd hate to get it confiscated.

Great video Thomas I just got a Keene 4 inch 3 stage dredge. Did you put hog matts in you dredge? it kind of looks like it if you did how do you like them?
@thomaspennyweightfowlkes40946 жыл бұрын
Yep Caleb. I have hog mat in my dredge. I've been using them for about 2 yrs. I li!e them a lot. Works go on the gold here in Indiana and on the gold at Lu's in AL. Run my motor somewhere between 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. Fast clean up less cons.

hi thomas first time viewer. how do you adjust your sluice for angle?
@thomaspennyweightfowlkes40946 жыл бұрын
Hi Thanks for watching. The sluice angle is adjusted by moving the sluice back back and forth on the dredge frame. You may get a little more adjustment by weighting back of the dredge with rocks or lead weights.
