Hand dredge combo gold and super sucker prospecting
HAND DREDGE COMBO:CUSTOM GOLD SUCKER AND 2 INCH SUPER GOLD SUCKER
The custom gold sucker is a very easy to use tool that will help you clean out cracks and crevices that may contain gold. Each gold sucker comes with 3 nozzles, a 1, 3/4 and 1/2 inch. These nozzles enable you to get into some of the smaller cracks.
Here is an email a gold prospector sent me, and is used with his permission:
There is no better hand dredge on the market than the custom made gold sucker for quickly cleaning out cracks and crevices. The gold sucker is expertly manufactured, and custom built to fit each prospector. I build each one like I am going to use it. It is light weight and has a barrel diameter small enough so you can use it all day with out hand fatigue. It has the versatility of having 3 nozzles, so you can clean out many sizes of cracks and crevices. I have been a prospector since 1968, a lifetime GPAA member, and the gold sucker is one of my favorite pieces of gold prospecting equipment when working a creek or stream that has cracks and crevices.
The super gold sucker tube has a barrel 30 inches long, and a 45 degree elbow on the end. When you use the super gold sucker tube, the 45 degree angle keeps the material from falling out till you point the 45 degree elbow down. The super gold sucker excells in sucking up material from under boulders. Once you get used to using the super gold sucker, you can move larger amounts of material into you pan, bucket or sluice or use it to remove overburden on top of bedrock. In areas that do not allow motorized equipment, having a super gold sucker is the next best thing. I will use the super gold sucker to remove material from the on top of bedrock, and then switch to a regular gold sucker to clean out the crevices in the bedrock.
Another prospector paid for his gold sucker in 2 hours on the Klamath River.
Here is an email from another satisfied prospector who bought a combo:
When I had originally worked the crevice, I could never get to the bottom of the crack. Dirt and water would collapse upon my work area faster than I could scoop out the overburden. With the gold sucker and 5 gallon bucket, I easily cleaned out the crack and retrieved more gold in one hour than the 8 hours spent the previous week. I am excited about working similar areas, where I could never quite reach the bottoms of cracks and holes!
Good luck on your prospecting, and I hope you find some good color!
