    Keene and others have mass produced them for many years. The suction nozzle style has better recovery as it uses the whole hose for classification and the powerjet style blasts the gravels immediately prior to introduction to the classifying tray inside. Problem is with submersibles if tipped left,right,up or down out goes your gold!! AND they back fill immediately from tailings as sittn' on the bottom so you must suspend them RIDGIDLY with steel straps from a floatation devise to prevent side to side loss. So then why use something with bad recovery when ya need to use floatation anyhow,just get a surface dredge and be a much happier wealthier miner-tons a au 2 u 2 -John
