I bought a pool water blaster toy from amazon to attempt hand dredging with it. Tts got a 36" long chamber at 2" in diameter. The intake suction hole is 1/4 inch in diameter. Here are some pictures. The top side has a threaded cap to allow easy field break down. I figured that would let me take it apart and clean out any left over dirt or gold on the inside. Let me know your thoughts and or concerns. It was under $20 since i had a gift card and free shipping :).

This is what happens when you are one of my grandkids set their toys down. Heat melted the end of the tube because it was slightly larger than the coupler. Then forced it in and warmed it a little to meld it together.
