Water wheel dredge 12589 9
Started by TWHaz@protonmail.com
Has anyone with a Claim in California put in a Water driven wheel to run pumps and compressors for dredging It cound be mounted on a mobile barge next to dredge or have supply hoses run from it to several dredges. No moter. We have been running Mills and generating electricity this way in the past. You do not need great elevation changes to turn a wheel. justy flowing water and the right gearing.

Could you measure your dredge baffle to help me with a homemade one? 7052 1
Started by ErikLeland@yahoo.com
Hello all!
I have a 3' keene highbanker/ dredge and I would like to add a baffle. Since it did not come with one originally I am curious what material is usually used for baffles I am thinking of using a 1/4' EPDM rubber mat but I am curious how thick the mats that generally come with dredges are. If someone with a stock baffle could measure the thickness I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

Well went and did it, pulled the trigger and bought an older Keene 2 1/2, 3 hp B&S, Keene pump. Used to sit on the inner tubes but has no frame or tube/float system. Will be put on regular floats so she won't play rollover. Get her all set up for next year, probably going to have to replace a couple of hoses and will put on a hose bib for a crack clean out hose. Been thinking of going to Hog mats but will see, and would have to figure out which one(s) and get Doc...

Dredging out by Stanton? 6646 2
Started by joe@hi-standard.com
This year the wife and I were out poking around, not at camp, just out S/E of Decision corner, and we saw a guy in one of the washes dredging. We just had some pretty good rain and some of the washes were running.
We have a little 2 1/2' triple dredge, and I was thinking of bringing it out when it's too wet to drywash and give it a try. Has anyone on here done it before
We do belong to a couple other organizations, so there are plenty of washes to try, but just curious if it is worth it, or ...

I'd like to meet a few other people interested in dredging within a few hours of Boise. Just more fun and productive with several people.

Miners moss VS Carpet? 30658 6
Started by cowboybrj81@gmail.com
I have a 3' gold king dredge/highbanker combo and need to replace the carpet. I was wondering which is better since I need to buy new matting, I was thinking of going with gold hog matting. Also when switching from carpet to miners moss do you need to do any modifications to the riffles Just looking at it I dont see how the moss will fit as it seems much thicker than carpet. Just looking for some input! Thanks!
