Help identifying Drywasher & Dredge

Bodfish Mike · Jun 28, 2015

Yard sale find.
Anyone know the brand name of the orange Drywasher ( only part I got but should be easy to build a frame and hopper).
Also the Keen dredge unit on the left chair anyone seen that one before.
I know what the rest of the stuff is.
Thanks for looking Mike.

Mike the old dredge looks like a 2 1/2 or 3". They had an under water pump and vertical shaft motor. Some did anyways. They can still be found[obviously!]

They can still be found but the parts can't. It is probably about 40 years old

It's supposed to look like this......

OMG a old 2500/2530 bottom pumper. I had a few as rentals in my biz. Sure easy to get around and hike in. Orange box is a antique Treasure Emporium box and age makes them very brittle like glass. I would not touch as that dredge header suffers from the same same. IF constantly garaged, and was lightly used, it might be good for a season or so but...... John

I had one of those in 3", in fact it was my first dredge

it sure was easy to hike in like John said. I loved the short box, it worked great. Push on the hopper and see if it's still flexible and then if it doesn't crack, go get some gold.
