I heard we got a big 8"Keene gold/diamond dredge.These are self contained units that have the sluice integral with the dredge itsself.Not a split unit like we see in the web site pics.They can run all day without being cleaned , and have good gemstone recovery if the box is set up properly.I'll get a link for everyone.MT
Here is the link to Keene.Go to the industrial dredge catagory , and checkout the model 8040 gold ,and diamond dredge.It sports a 40 hp diesel engine with an extra venturi to clean out the box while in operation.See the guy doing this in the back of the box in the pics. Cost $35,000.00 brand spanking new.This rig can easily go down 40'. John told me the overburden to the bedrock averaged about 6-10 feet.If our dredge supt.can put oneof these on ahoneyhole ,we can make an extremely decadent amount of gold in a matter of a few hours.The recovery efficiency is about %80 for these rigs.They move about 50 tons/hr..No need for a washplant. We got an emergengy call out at 4am this morning.Seas were 8-10' we were airborne most of the way to the platformand back.Just got back to the dock around 2pm.Everyone is exhausted from holding on to keep from being slammed around.A ROUGH day at work I suppose.MT
