This is obviously NOT a dredge, it does NOT concentrate or process material. It collects a very small amount of material to pan by hand.
This is not a paid endorsement nor am I affiliated with Ryobi in any way, this video demonstrates what a ryobi pool vac with little modification is capable of for the use in retrieving minerals.
Please check and follow all local and federal laws in regards to legal mineral extraction prior to using any equipment in the field.

Thanks great idea! This is not meant to dredge, a dredge is used to expose bedrock bearing gold and this is then used to collect the rich pay layer instead of running it through the dredge box with the potential of some loss. This is like a clean up tool more so.
Mate thanks great video just what I needed
Thanks for the video grate advice. your a good man...
Nice demo Jerry and great idea with the Ryobi. It sucked up that large piece of gold no problem, so smaller stuff on crevices is gonna be easy peasy.

I noticed this was discontinued due to waterproofing. Have you given any thought to trying out submersible pool vacuums that can be recharged? I’m looking into a USB one that I can connect to a solar panel to charge in the field and get 2-3 hours per day use out of. There’s a few candidates. One battery operated and a lot of plug to charge.
nice

Is the idea to vacuum up the paydirt until the clear container is full and then empty it in a gold pan and pan it from there? If so why wouldn’t you just scoop up the paydirt with the gold pan or a shovel to begin with. Or would you be deep under water and swim back up every 5 min to empty the vacuum container. I’m sorry but I just don’t understand how this would come in handy or what this would be used for. Please explain I’m very curious.
@californiamotherlodeprospect

When your sniping for gold your focused on bedrock cracks, they are jammed with material and small. You bustopen the material and clear by hand until you see the gold in the crack, then you use this to collect the gold in the crack. Its not like a normal dredge to move overburrden, more of a finishing tool.
I'm heading to the hardware store NOW
Hey, did you ever get any videos of you using this, or did it work well? Still using it?
Wonder if it has enough power to hook up to a 4 or 5 gallon bucket? with the hose attached to the bucket.

California Mother Lode Prospectors I saw that. Impressive. I like how you can pack in a extra battery even if it has only 45 minutes of runtime per pack. That can be stretched out tremendously crevicing.....Im Sure it would be super useful for crevicing on land with this submerged in a tote and adding water into the crevices with buckets then pull the goodies out with all that suction.... I want to buy one soon when my health improves... Couldnt imagine a setup like that in the motherload of the yuba though with all those holes and crevice pockets as far as the eye can see
