Gold Dredging in the Bering Sea, Gold Diving

[davisthc4]

How much does it cost on average to buy a claim in the water? Can you rent or lease them from other?

[reddesertrider1]

@davisthc4 I would like to know too...

[Bertziethegreat]

@DanfromNY55 about how much does it cost to ship a dredge up to Nome?

[DanfromNY55]

@Bertziethegreat It all depends on the shipping company you use, Ive used the same ones Northland out of Seattle for the last ten years. Call them for a quote,Heres a free tip, if your boat trailer is over 28' long expect the charges to almost double.Using the trailer type with the folding tongue are key to saving some cash.Good Luck

Whats the rated GPH of the pump?

How do you send hot water to the diver?

[DanfromNY55]

@LetsPlayAGameYouSee hot water is pumped by a sump pump down a hose connected to the air hose down to diver, he then can add hot water to whatever parts of his suit are the coldest.Hands, feet, torso, head. GPH?Thats a good question, I have no idea since Ive never measured the amount of water it could pump in an hour.

[LetsPlayAGameYouSee]

@DanfromNY55 Thanks for the quick reply! Since you don't know the rated GPH do you know the HP? I worded my question about the hot water wrong, I really mean't to ask how the water is heated.

you can buy a used pontoon 25 ft W/trailer here in cali outfiited with 125 hp ob for $7000 you can buy a 4-6 inch dredge for 6-9k from here also. all the other stuff needed shouldnt cost more than 10k shop around

[mik22pik]

OMG Please take the camera away from that person.

My eyes are melting just trying to follow!

[jesusgypsy2]

what kind of permits are needed there and are there like community areas where anyone can dredge?

[347oce]

Got to say Dan , I think the reson you never show gold at the end of your vid`s , you dont find any .. Yeah, yeah , your other vid`s have gold in them , so where `d ya buy the the gold at ??? Keep on rokin & thanks for the info

[oildiver1]

how much do u sell your dredges for

[DanfromNY55]

@oildiver1 It all depends on what size dredge you want,power,nozzle size,hose size,outboard,pontoon length etc.

[MrFatRaps]

@DanfromNY55 hi my name is troy hardee  i am interested in building a dredge and going to nome i see from your videoes you are very knowledgeable on subject. any advice would be helpful and much appreciated how to get permits claims ect. Is there a book or website u would reccomend I am totally new to this my email is troy_hardee69@yahoo.com

[DanfromNY55]

@MrFatRaps The Alaska Gold Forum, is a great place for information about ocean dredging,its the 1st place to ever post information on Nome ocean dredging and has added many new articles over the years.I have time to build 2 more dredges for Nome this season. Each one would cost around $100,000.00 which includes shipping to Nome

[DunnachieProductions]

why after 20 min did you not show how much gold you got .

bazzar.

[DanfromNY55]

@DunnachieProductions :) Because Ive got the gold on other videos,this wasnt a TV show with the gold at the end,sorry, Thanks for watching

[djsi38t]

Hold her steady...lol

[oddsource]

gold... omfg. I wish I could do that here in California but all I get is flakes and dust gold.

[mounlasy]

The fortunate thing about California is that Gold is still waiting to be found. Thank god I'm only an hour away from it.

[daggertoungeomega]

want to get a glimpse get a high powered lens and watch the bering sea, x marks the spot.

[GotBait]

Great video & I also am looking forward to the sequel. Have wanted to do this for the last few years ever since a guy here in Homer converted & old landing craft into a dredge & headed to Nome. Whats involved in getting offshore claims?

[Nugget907]

Looking forward to the sequel to this and seing the pile of gold from the clean up.
