Good job fellas!!

Do a test pan on your tailings to make sure you’re not loosing gold out the back!

Tilt that box a little, 5-8 degrees is a good start, If you ever need a bigger one I have a 4 and 5”, good luck see you fellers on the water!

Turn the motor on idle and let it run the overburden off. Great job guys looks motivating. 👍

Nice color. Great work guys

Watching you turn the pump on to clean out made me LMFAO 🤣

Lmfao, when I rewatched it I LOL’d as well.

Maybe try a jarvinne riffle in the front. Probably do well with a jarvine riffle and a dream mat. Be a fun experiment nonetheless

Yeah, we have lots of new upgrades to show in the next few videos. We have 4 videos already filmed with the progression of our upgrades and the gold we find keeps getting better and better. Stay tuned, you won’t even recognize the dredge we started with and the one we have now, totally redone and working perfectly.

Hats off to you both.

Fun video to watch! My first dredge was a 3” combo and I spent most of the first 2 days learning the habits of the machine and how to tweak it. And it looks like you are having as much fun as I had! Blowing out the sluice trying to do a cleanup was hilarious!! It only takes a couple buckets of water to clean out my 6” so I would suggest doing cleanups manually. To prevent the riffles from getting too clogged I always start with my engines at full speed and slide the sluice back as far as possible so it’s as flat as possible. If I see the riffles clogging, I move the sluice back to give it more angle. I NEVER take my engines off of full speed because dredging is all about throughput. The more suction, the more material, the more gold. Fortunately sliding the sluice back and forth has always worked. I agree with swapping the punch plate with modern punch plate. Easier for the smaller material to get thru and increase water flow to keep it clean and efficient. I would actually keep the riffles. It looks like the gold in your area is big enough that it won’t affect gold capture. I only take out my riffles if the area is known for very, very small gold. Looking forward to see what the plan is for mods. Remember the golden (pun intended) rule - keep is simple stupid! There’s nothing worse than being in the middle of no where and some weird new fangled setup breaks.

Yeah it was a day for learning for sure, the blow out of the cleanup was funny. We have been out 4 times since that day and I have more videos to post with some major cleanups and lots of upgrades to the box. We definitely learned from our mistakes in this first run, and have it all figured out now. Thanks for the suggestions and advice!

Ummm, New England (NH, VT) have lots of gold. Get out there with a pan and check it out, you may be surprised! Thanks for your comment, dredging is a blast!

winderful good idea !!

I'd be checking with a metal detector the tailing pile, a Finger size nugget would make it through.

It’s unlikely a nugget would make it past the first foot of the Sluicebox. But yes, I’ll make sure to take my detector out to make 100% sure

I've done a lot of panning in Northern California. I've moved to North Carolina 18 years ago and I have a creek that runs through my property with a lot of pyrite and black sand and big boulders with a small waterfall I'm wanting to put a dredge in there see what I find

Nice!

I also think that you need a little bit more angle on the slice tray. But I’ve never sluiced tbh so idk.

We made some mistakes in this first video with our new dredge, running it too slow and a few other mistakes. We have it all figured out now, have 4 videos to post of our progress over the past few weeks and the upgrades we’ve made. As far as the angle, the dredge is designed to obtain the correct angle when the box has enough water flowing through it, you’ll see in the next episode.. thanks for watching and your comment

Nice gold

Make sure your box angle is around 10 degrees and level….

Good luck you guys,hope you do well.

just to ask do you have to use gas powered generators to power those dredges or can you use a couple solar powered generators that recharge themself with sun light ?

Sad that your clean up didn't even cover your gas for the pump, even less so your time and vehicle gas.

We have resolved the issue now, it was a stick caught in the intake to the pump. Good idea of checking the gas tank though, wouldn’t have thought of that

​@@X4PROSPECTINGI came to suggest the same, because you definitely have killer flow and suction power...and I think its just not long enough to catch everything yet, but you never know! My thought was either a hinged addition, or bolt on with a reinforcing plate underneath to keep your overall portability up. Fingers crossed all goes great with your further modifications and making it into your Dream Rig! ❤️🫂🙏🤞🤘😍

So yeah, mistakes were made. But as long as you figure out what you did wrong, it's still a positive. You guys are gonna move some dirt this season! I was gonna take a "guess" at the weight, but I just watched Wills video, and that might be cheating,... el oh el

Hey guys, hope you're doing alright? Getting a bit worried cause I'm starting to twitch cause I haven't had my video fix in a while and they're highly addictive! So yeah, just wanted to send some love and make sure everything is alright 💜

For all your time,effort and supplies using a 3-inch dredge that's a horrible ROI !

The second I saw that dredge I was thinking you need to loose about 60% of that mat, so good call there! However I still think you are blowing at least 50% of your gold out of the Sluice! You definitely need an intake box and i would put a 1" grizzly on the intake as well! New equipment is fun just gotta dial it in! All in all great job and hope you find the gold!!

You have your riffles totally clogged. Your loosing lots of fines.

Are y’all losing any gold by running too fast?

Spend all day, several thousand dollars, collect $10 in gold... Yea, there is a reason no one gets gold other than YTbrs selling episodes and those dinking around for funz. It is fun, done it myself... in good weather... in poor weather utter misery!
