I need to build a dredge. It was 3", No air & I didn't have a wet suit. But I did get a lot of gold. The
floats were Styrofoam warped with Fiberglass. The crash Box had a pretty wide flare at the outlet.

gertterdone , I remember Leonard and I dredging the Similkameen River in Oroville Washington at the Miner's Rally...……. We had a great time there ! I wish those day's never ended for me ! :D

This is probably the most famous dredge of all time. It's been on more magazine cover shots, more stories, and more internet pictures. It has been all over the country and has been used by many of our famous people.

This picture was a really old one as it has the original 5hp motor. I later switched to a 6.5hp motor.
