First dredging trip of the year.

Test run on the creek. Water is still up. It worked well, but all the gold I got was in mercury. It was warm enough to stick my head under for a few minutes at a time. Got ate by mosquitoes, kind of early for that.

I'm surprised my hose wasn't cracked, it's ancient.

Dont hit it trying to un jam a plug you will end up with a french drain hose like I did (I know better than that too!!!!)Old hose oh well!

I have never had a dredge and you guys are rattling my cage bad, I am gonna get one or build every thing except the pump. Looks like it gets your percentage up.
Enjoyed the pictures, thanks a lot. Gnewt

Yea Gnewt "once you Vac you never go back"!!!!!!!!In the right spot your average can be significantly improved!!!!

It sure beats a shovel and a bucket. But the best part I think is seeing the river bottom, rocks, fish, and gold, as you suck it up. It does get a little chilly at times. A gas vac. is alot cheeper and still a lot of fun.

Very nice pictures....
I'm in Seattle area and "my creek" still very cold way to much snow.
I can't wait for warmer weather and snow to melt.
Anyone was panning and dreging in Snoqualmie - region.
