Suction Dredging for ALASKAN GOLD!

[@jeanchavez2952]

Oh this was fun ! Very exciting ! We have lots of gold here but I think you have found the better way of doing it compared to having a pick shovel and bucket and planing by hand . It sounds like you have a good spot you have the signs of gold for sure ! Good luck !

[@BackcountryAlaska]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MarkFitzhugh-w5r]

love watching you find gold

[@billybudz2894]

I'll be up there man. Can't wait to do this when summer comes.

[@BackcountryAlaska]

It’s one of my favorite hobby’s

[@AlaskanAssassinAdventures]

Pretty awesome!! I love your set up.

[@BackcountryAlaska]

@@AlaskanAssassinAdventures thanks it’s pretty awesome. I have a nice dredge trailer for towing behind my four wheeler as well that I’d like to get some use out of next year

[@jeanchavez2952]

Oops I meant Crocks !😮 This is cool I am watching you dredging it is fun watching the material get sucked up I am sure I would start seeing gold nuggets that aren’t really there lol if you get a big one you gota show it lol !!!

[@BackcountryAlaska]

I’m hoping to see some nuggets!

Watching you dredge was therapeutic for me as well. I would put on a dredge vid to sleep for sure. 😊

[@BackcountryAlaska]

@@danayneal4409 good deal, might have to make a long uncut version here in the future.

My question is does it mess with the fish habitat? Knew a guy who had a gin pole setup on front of his flat fender jeepy. 😊

[@BackcountryAlaska]

It’s supposed to stir up the sediments for the fish to feed and aerate the water. Then spring floods come through and you can’t ever tell a dredge was there. Pretty low impact form of mining

[@ninefingermining8694]

Awesome man 👍just found your channel in the guy with the claim you talked to awhile ago on messenger we should go dredge I own a 6

[@BackcountryAlaska]

[@wesblood3620]

If it was me, 2 years of never using, I'd start up before going into bush.

[@BackcountryAlaska]

@@wesblood3620 probably should have! That’s okay. She was good to go!

[@ericmartens5930]

what are the rules up there in Alaska for dredging like that ?, looks like a lot of fun....from a holy shit to a holy snechk, that made my morning, have a great fall hunting season up there.

[@BackcountryAlaska]

@@ericmartens5930 oh it’s a bit of a learning curve to figure out all the rules! Two permits required for recreational dredging on state land. It gets more complicated from there. Thanks for the kind words!

[@jeanchavez2952]

I swear I saw some bigger gold piece

[@BackcountryAlaska]

Could have!!

[@prospectorpete]

Why dont you move large rocks before you point the nozzle anywhere near them so you only suck up small gravels ?. You should show more of your gf. Get her involved

[@BackcountryAlaska]

@@prospectorpete most of the time the large rocks are falling in front of the nozzle. Ideally yes you’re moving the big ones first but it’s also hard to film and move rocks 😂
