The dovetail riffles with the added width worked surprisingly well. Better than any other single stage that I had ever seen. So we made our own riffles for the 6" with the dovetails built in. We spaced them a little farther apart and changed the angles a bit to our liking. I would buy it over a Keene mini anytime because you are getting a better unit with great recovery for a lot less money. That's the only difference that I see these days, Proline and Keene have almost doubled their prices with the raise in gold prices where Bob has kept his Dahlke Dredges at basically the same prices he has years ago. But he is in Washington where you can still dredge, where the California companies have lost over 60% of their business with the California dredge ban.
And now it has come to light that our State Government banned dredging to take the gold out of the peoples hands for themselves. They have started taking peoples claims, and now are dredging themselves under the guise of removing mercury and other things. So they have made gold mining illegal for all citizens but have turned around and started gold mining themselves in secret. One of my friends actually had his gold mine shut down by the state now. They told him that gold in his mine was now part of the California State Gold Reserves and shut him down legally, their way. So our state government has really been crossing the line into our forests with fines, armed rangers, shutting down mines, making gold miners all look like criminals, and all the while they have been starting to gold mine others claims now for the state itself under some other hidden agendas.
See "Wild Injustice" for yourself. A legal placer mining operation's owners being told lies and made to look like criminals on national TV. The fish shown dead in the movies were put in there just to help the State of California's Department of Fish and Shame condemn dredging in our state. The fish had nothing to do with the dredging video at all and were video clips taken from other area's and then secretly added into these movies to make us all out to look like murderers and thieves.
