Velocity wings fit BGT Prospector.

Hey all,

Got out not too long ago with Goldog, on his claim.
And he was correct, perfect conditions for the "Sluice Aileron Kit" :hello:

Very slow water flow and Goldog is using a BGT Prospector in this area.
The wings were installed and did indeed increase flow enough to where the Prospector's fluid bed was working nicely.
No need for the bottom wing as the sluice was on the bedrock.
They worked great!! Very cool.

Thanks Goldog, for a great day!!

Have seen people doing similar such things - some use heavy black plastic sheeting weighted along the bottom edge and held in place with stakes. When the water isn't fast, there's always ways to increase the flow. However, the easier it can be done, the better!

Thanks for coming up to dig. The wings did help. Another less than rainy season means another dry summer.

When the water is slow, this is a great idea. :)

When you have good flow, no need as only so much can get crammed in at one time.

I just picked up a Super Mini yesterday - Whoops, cats outta the bag!
Took it in on partial trade, I sold/traded the 2.5" dredge because I have no need for it with the bigger dredges.
