  • Have you ever tried shortening your hose and having the sluice box behind you, you are loosing a lot of power trying to lift the overburden

    Ivan

  • it's a consideration, but underwater recovery is a bit of a trick and surface sluices are much more resilient. Hey give it a shot.

  • I wanna watch you drown? Nice lyrics.

  • Can't use DIO's HOLY DIVER but I can recommend that you kids at home play that song instead

  • The original song to this video by dio was way better suited to what your up to mate your mad

  • Oh I am mad, apparently my use was a copyright infringement. Trust me I'd rather have the original. Maybe I'll try to secure limited permission.

  • Are the areas in the Bering sea leased? I had heard that. Is it not worth it to get into the hardpack? I have dreamed of dredging the Bering sea for over a decade. I have even designed a couple of unique pieces of equipment specificly for recovering the gold in the somewhat unique challenges dredging in the ocean involves. Love the video by the way.

  • Is there a river or stream nearby? Where does the gold come from geologically?

  • there goes the nice sandy beach lol

  • Did you even read the question? Doesn't ask "how much" or "where". Sheesh.........

  • Do you dredge in a big semi circle as far as the hose can reach and then move? or? Can you comment on how you map out where you've dredged and where you left off from last season? Any more vids to put up? This one is awesome! Too bad RJD killed the original soundtrack :(

  • Wow, i would have loved to have a summer job like that!

  • sorry I meant that you need an underwater sluice box not a surface one

  • their is no difference in the recovery of the gold using the sluice box on top or underneath its just that using the sluice underneath when its deep it is much better and save power, I did note that your suction could have been a lot better and this would help
