Name a dredge?

[2020hindsite]

It's common knowledge that not naming a boat is considered bad luck. I wonder if the same would apply to a floating dredge?
People also name cars, motorcycles, and all sorts of other stuff.
Anyone name their dredge?

Mine would be named "Nothing" because that's what I say every time I lift the flap to inspect the scalping section.

I named mine, here's a pic of my sluice, I'll get some of the whole set up in action tomorrow.
Ain't the prettiest, but it's homemade so it'll do.

Thanks Taternut, I poured my all into that thing for about 2 months straight. Officially I'm in it for right around 700.00 for now. It can be used as a floating dredge or stationary. It's getting 24" removable wheels this week so I can use it like a deer cart to get it in and out of remote locations without killing myself.
For right now it's a 3" dredge, but once winter hits I'm going to change it over to 4" and add air so I can work done deeper spots on the river. I have a goofy homemade air rig I'm working on right now but it'll only allow me to work 4-6 foot holes, so I wasn't too add a proper air system before next summer.

I'll get some action shots tomorrow (or today actually, I'd better get to bed lol)

Im excited to see that thing in action! Good luck!

Paint it like this



Call it "The Lead Grabber" or "Stream Cleaner" or "Water Purifier" "Fish Saver"

You Cali guys should start a dredging company and call it
"BP".
It doesn't matter what it stands for as long as you all wear green circular star logos.
That way you guys can do whatever you want and don't have to answer to the government
