I was just at one of my claims last week over in eastern Or, this claim is old hydrauliced river channel 200' above the river ( no water )and most of the gold is on bedrock. I have been considering getting a large shop vack and running it off my generator and doing exactly what you have done here but on a larger scale. The material would be taken down to the water and run through my trommel. I don't know if it's legal for where you are asking but I think it's a great idea.

I plan on getting a Dewalt Dc500 for sucking up material on dry bedrock

its small, portable, works on wet and dry surfaces, and can be battery operated.

DC500 2 Gallon Cordless/Corded Wet/Dry Vac | DEWALT Tools



Is this legal on Clear Creek, Near Redding?

I mainly gonna use it for Crevicing in bedrock its also capable of being used as a tiny underwater suction device.


My buddy has this DeWalt. Vac and compared to my gas power vac's I build its like comparing a Pinto to a Ferrari. Just does not have much suction power. Here is a gas vac on steroids. I do understand your problem using gas powered.

Its just that certain creeks around here don't allow any sort of loud engines
