5 inch Proline Gold Dredge… bought a few years ago with ambitions of being a full time dredger, never used and now planning to move. Was told it has 300hrs on engines but can’t confirm (but the do look brand new) With gold at $4500 per ounce, only takes a good weekend to pay for itself. This unit will fit into a back of a pickup. 5" Dredge w/(2) Honda GX200s & (2) HP400 pumps & T-80 Compressor. Used these sell for $6-8000, new this unit is $11k plus shipping. Will include new 30ft Keene airline and stainless air tank (as a reservoir). Not including dive regulator as you will want to use your own anyways.

trade considerations:
Minelab Excalibur II “with” Ocean reef Neptune III “and” vibrant-probe 585

Adventure Bike or Harley (no sportster)
Honda Pioneer/ Polaris Ranger

Or ????????

From Proline:
5" Dredge
workhorses that offer excellent recovery while remaining lightweight and simple to adjust
Our 5" size has always been popular with dredgers who were looking for the perfect balance of portability with higher productivity. Smaller dredges simply can't process as much gravel and the larger dredges require more effort to get into remote locations where the richer gold deposits usually are. This is why the 5" dredge size is normally the smallest chosen by the serious prospectors and professional dredgers.
Our standard twin engine model is aimed toward the more serious dredger and offers the most suction power of any 5" dredge in its class. Powered by two Honda GX160 engines, and our proven HP350 pumps, making it ideal for higher altitudes or for extra deep dredging. This dredge is easier to refuel and start due to the location of the pumps and the two smaller, lighter power plants are easier to handle than the larger single engine/pump package. The twin engine model is also capable of driving an additional air compressor should the need arise.
Dredge uses the same modular flotation and sturdy frame which bolts together for ease of transporting and storage when not in use. Naturally, these dredges use the same non-clogging jetting system found on other Proline equipment.
Of course, gold recovery is the prime factor in determining the worth of any dredge. Proline takes pride in building equipment that delivers recovery of the finest gold. The 5" dredge offer excellent recovery while remaining lightweight and simple to adjust. These dredges have proven themselves to be true work horses in the field, providing years of trouble-free operation in harsh conditions.
