Can you still dredge in California???

[bradmoore8]

Wow what a beast. Tearing it up!!! I have a 3in Keene dredge high banker combo. What kind of recovery should I get in the fine gold department?I running miners moss in my box. How about you? I live in Arizona. But I'm like you. You have laws and I don't have much water hear. Not many people hear have dredges of a decent size, So you really can make it a nice pay day since not many people want to invest in a dredge because of a lack of water. Super video!!!

why do all the dredges i see use corrugated piping wouldnt smooth piping be easier and keep from gettin things stuck!!

[bearkat4160]

@holymonkeyshiza ...Do you mean the hose we use for suction? If so, its not corrugated on the inside, its nice and smooth. Thanks for asking.

wonder what thier best day has been (ounces) and does it cover operation costs?

[bearkat4160]

The best day at that certain spot was 12 DWT. Cost were usually covered everyday. The dredge is only 2 years old, has been used for 2 seasons. At a higher grade spot I'm we would have gotten even better gold return. Now that they kicked us out of California we will have to look eleswhere.

[cny72209]

cool! Sorry to hear about getting booted from Ca. in terms of dredging and thanks for the response! My Christmas gift from the g/f this year is GPAA membership. I want to build a dredge but live in Michigan (very little gold) I am planning to try to talk a buddy of mine into an Alaska trip this spring.Thanks again and hope ya' find alot!

@bearkat4160 Hay Buddie Yea we were averiging about 4 to 6 Dwt a day not bad for what gold was at at the time but a comercial 8 should be doing at least an ounce a day or more I know I did 62 ounces in two weeks with and old mining partner in 2005 on an 8 the gold was everywhere even on our wet suites and I have an idea of where some rich gold streks are but the politicans shut that down Thanks Arnold
