Gold Dredger dot Com Disscussion Forums

well is anyone working on any projects this winter? ive started a 2 inch dredge because im sorry i sold my 2 inch Proline dredge. its consisting of a allum frame that ive welded up a ABS sluice that i made and its going to have the Gold Hog matting plus i have Vortex and Veranda matts for a compairson runs.itll have a Honda with the Keene P90 pump and itll be useing a homemade venturi nozzel. the floats are a inflateable 48"x8"dia. tubes that will be filled with nitrogen to eliminate the up/down pressure problems with the atmosphere. i like to use a 2 inch dredge to open up a hole for my 4 inch dredge in shallow waters. so far its been fun just makeing it since i couldnt get out this past year.

Sounds like it will be a LOT lighter than 4" submarine at DC bud. Like Leonard says-time for some fun and to LL with all the hard work,leave that for the youngns' anyhow-hope all goes great bud-John

just waiting for summer John!

heres a few pics of what i have done so far.

it didnt take all the files. so heres another. picture of just my alum frame.

HMMMM??

and last but not least so far.... showing the ABS sluice and 2 inch crashbox with a sample of the vortex matting.

and who says you cant teach old dogs new tricks..........but remebering how you did it the next time is the real trick! Leonard they went in as they were, i didnt need to resize them!
