[@hanshart1472]

A vac-pac would be a good tool to use

Vac requires a big generator, we went lightweight. Thanks for watching!

That's crazy they left gold behind.The mind boggles just how much is waiting to be found

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

For sure!

[@johnrprospecting]

Dam that’s crazy. How awesome is that. Finding gold that they left. They didn’t do a good job cleaning the dredge before they left and you found it. That’s awesome. I hope there is a video of you guys running the rest of the material from you cleaning the dredge up. Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Lol. Hey that would be an awesome paydirt for sale cleaning the dredge cons. I’d buy some for sure. Lol.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

[@goldadventures5844]

Great off work prospecting, cool old dredge with gold still hiding.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Wow how very cool is that good job

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Thanks for watching, brian palmlund!! Get that gold!!

[@RonnieFrancis]

W-O-W, how many times have I dreamed about doing that very same thing on so many of the dredges. 2 of my friends came up there cause the guy was born in AK so they rode motorcycles up & made a big trip of it from southwest Arkansas. Huge trip but they saw dredges & I thought they maybe toured one but not sure about that. Are any open to the public as historic sites??? I enjoy your videos & watching you & Gary Simpson work together. I know every one has bills but I hope ya'll get to put some gold back. Now I gotta look through all your videos & see if I can find a follow up to this. Lol. Another great video, it's like a good book, you can't stop till you know what happens. Good luck with all your work, it's the thrill of the chase but that yeller gold shor' is a pretty site.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Tnanks so much!

[@jackfox9550]

Love these guys

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

You got that right!

[@garysimpson1268]

hi everyone sorry for the potty mouth I was just a little shocked that as long as this dredge was in nome nobody had worked it and if they did they didn't work it good anyway thanks for watching.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

What's up dude! You scared all my viewers away with your potty mouth, lol! You need to go to church!

[@thetruthnevertold]

how much time is left before end of season beach mining? I'm 52 disabled and love to try before I die.

[@AmericanGoldProspectors]

Most will leave around Oct 1. Not much gold on the beach this year. We need a big storm to replenish it!

[@thetruthnevertold]

@@AmericanGoldProspectors ok thanks

[@jk-76]

It would be a dream to clean up a dredge that was left alone. Gotta be a couple ounces in the cracks. The old miners were concerned with volume so the nooks and crannies probably didn't even cross their minds.

[@buffalokrisgoldprospecting]

Yes sir

Other videos about the trommel dredges have said the fine gold and small nuggets were 100 times the bigger nuggets, so, they were only concerned with capturing the fine gold and small nuggets that would fit through the screens.

lol. " we are not going to put this video until we clean this place up" I'm surprised that no one has done this before. Btw the earliest I heard of Cardahan was 1991. I maybe be older But I think 1980s maybe 90s. Which means someone left it there after I don't know. But I think it stopped running in 1940s or 1960s
