:D Very good to see. I like it. You got that all figured out, Dawg, and I see plenty of good uses for those dredges.

Nice to hear from you, Dawg, see your doing well, and that your still at it on that golden gulch. :D
Thanks for sharing your pictures, they always fill my mind with good intentions and great ideas.

Technically if it ain't a creek and you have to add the water, then it isn't instream suction dredging, now is it. :lol: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Looks like ya have everything under control! 8-)
You can dredge anywhere if ya have enough water.
Speaking of water, wanna buy a 4500 gal water truck w/500gpm "pressure" pump?
Just thought I'd mention it,..... :roll:

Now, I just have to find the time to put the dang thing together.

That's the one. :)
She was pampered by the CDF before I got a hold of 'er. I've always focused on the mechanicle and not much
on whether the floor is dirty or not. It's a work truck. :roll:
She's a little rough, but if you're lookin' for a work horse, she'd be awful hard to beat. ;)
A guy came to check it out and gave it a test drive.
He got out of the truck and said,"GEEEEeeeez, what a beast!".
She's ALL truck. Not some coast to coast rockin' chair, but an honest to goodness, off road capable,
hard workin' machine. :)

Here as so we can all see what you are talking about, here is the picture.
All I can say is, lots of possibilities there and quite capable. :twisted:

Back on topic. Stupid question of course, but any gold, Dawg?
