Gold Mining and Prospecting with Highbanker/Dredge Pt. 3

Visit my official blog! -- http://youngflyer12.blogspot.com/

These videos were shot in Northern Indiana (South Bend / Mishawaka area) in a run off creek. In these videos, we use a Proline Highbank Dredge combination. We have not used it for any highbanking, but mostly just for dredging. In these videos we show you the setup we have been using for the past couple years. This particular dredge does an excellent job catching the black sand and gold. Our particular model is only a 2 opening, but it sure does move a lot of material. We also go underwater with the video camera to give you a whole new look at what really happens under the water. This particular day has been divided up into four parts. Catch all the other parts and many more interesting videos on my channel. Enjoy!

nice video looks like the dredge works well. just a suggestion, would be nice to see the gold production at the end unless u didnt find anything that is big enough to be collected. good vid tho

@5King5James5 We did find gold, but it was so fine that it didn't show on my video camera very well. Thanks!

@SmilyGoldy It depends on the rock shapes and size on just how much it jams on you. I have used this combo to dredged in areas that have small flat rocks ( just big enough to fit into the hose) and they jam a lot. The larger the size of the hose the less jams you will have but I chose the 2" combo due to the weight. If you have to carry it far it gets heavy. The small pump 2.5HP works very well. This combo has great suction.

I see you have a Proline 2" combo, I was considering buying one becuase a 2.5" dredge may use to much water (200gal+). The creek I'm going to has very little water, does the 2" combo work well in a limited supply of water? It seems your jaming up pretty bad, how easy is it to plug? any info would be good
