  • not to get nosey but how much gold did u end up with at the end of thhe dredging season

  • put it this way, after 6 weeks he had at least an ounce or 4, but gold operations tend to be discrete.

  • Who would of thought a toilet bowl would come in handy for the final product heheheh. Great stuff Mr gold dude.

  • I hope to be in your shoes soon.

    Im an unemployed Oregonian boy.

    Thinkin bout bein a full time dredger.

  • very cool video !  i wish we could do that in canada .

  • Wow! Very cool!

  • I can do dredging if I want, but I dig in the ground as much as I can,lol.

  • trommels

  • great video thanks! how did ya get to use that big sucker? thought the max was 4 inch?

  • very nice video i liked watching the processes thank you for posting

  • how much money did u spent in equipment?

  • call me crazy but u look like brett favre to me

  • Great video bearkat! I like how you adapted your LeSluice to use for cleanup in the dredge. In your closeup shot of the gold, is that lead shot in there also?

  • @yenamarre100 You're kidding, right?

  • @yenamarre100 I guess you havent seen gold prices lately. I averaged 4 dwt a day. Thats $250. I used 3 gallons of gas a day which is $10. You do the math.

  • great clips best i have seen yet on here,keep them coming

  • Hi cool clip...is that a 6inch with 6.5 hp,s and p180 pumps ? iv got a keene 5 but im converting it to a 6...i am thinking the suction mite not be as good how do you find yours...?

  • Good video. Looks like time well spent. Going to keep searching Montana...

  • very good! Looks like a free for on that river? Have any trouble with people settin right up on you?

  • @mrfish40 Yes I have had trouble with that problem. We got it all worked out though.

  • Great videos! I was just wondering if any of the Gestapo has asked for your papers or hassled you when you were out dredging. I live in MT, but when I was pit mining in CA the BLM ranger would haste me every time I was there, He would order me to stop work, and I would write the main office they would write back telling me to proceed. then the Ranger would find another reason to stop me, Back and forth, then I left ........I was just wondering if OR has the same flavor of a police state?

  • @amylou59102 I was asked while at shore once for my permit. He was cool and just wanted to move on. California is definatly different.

  • @bearkat4160  did you neck your 6" down to 4" ?

  • AWESOME video buddy - congrats!!!!

  • Damn, Looks like you could use a parking attendant over there! I'll stay over here in JoCo. Great video!

  • Good going, Alan.

    Very nice looking gold, including some nice nuggets.

    Love the extra handle mod on your nozzle, as well as the use of the LeTrap do an on the spot clean up. Sure beats packing a half dozen 5 gallon buckets of cons home.

    Good luck for the next four weeks.

    I'm going to stick to the creeks and gulches here in JoCo, but might make my way down there before season ends.

  • Great video! Wow, look at all the gold. Can't wait until the next video.

  • I like the music, and the beging set up...lol.. What was the bucket tied to the dredge for? I think gold always looks bigger and better in person..lol Thats was some nice gold congradsulation. Id love to go up their and dredge.. Thanks for posting a A+ video.. Jess

  • @jessgo33 The bucket is to keep the dredge from motoring forward as I dredge in this spot without a line tied to shore so I can go where ever I want. Thanks for the comments!

  • Fantastic! Great gold and a beautiful setting. You live a great life. :) Is that an 8 inch dredge?

  • Was a pleasure to watch, thank you :)
