Hi Mark, I love what you've done with that 2.5" mini! You guys are like dredge design wizards! I have no dredging planned in my immediate future, but I just wanted to say thank you for all you guys have done for the gold mining industry over the years. From this beauty to that amazing 6" supermax, you keep on killing it year after year!
I bought my first Keene dredge 2.5 floated on a truck innertube back in 1980s for $ 550.00 Briggs and Staten 2.5 horse water pump with a garden hose hook up on the pump I ran a pressurized nozzle back then the dredge played for itself after a flood in two weekends east fork San Gabriel river
@@KeeneEngInc Just remember, these aren't gold dredges, they are stream restoration machines. Under the current laws, technically you aren't polluting as you aren't "adding anything to the stream", only taking toxins such as lead and mercury out of the streams and rivers. You guys should be fine running a demonstration video of your new steam restoration machine without breaking any laws. After all, last time I checked, picking up trash was not against the law!
What would it take and cost to upgrade my 2in backpack to this 2 1/2 with a power nozzle? Assuming it’s still a 1 1/4 coming from the pump. I have the blaster setup and recently purchased a ball valve to install. Took your advice the other day. Not much fine gold where I’m at so I think my sluice will be adequate. So I guess just the jet flair, 2 1/2 in flair attachment, suction hose, suction tube, and nozzle. Unless I’m missing something. 🍻
Anyone who runs rubber mats in a dredge sluice box has a lot to learn. A dredge sluice box has way too much Chaos for rubber mats. I have had a few customers who have tried and gone back to stock. Rubber mats of any kind do not work in a dredge due to the rocks changing the back eddies, and heavy water fluctuations will cause more gold to be lost than they catch. A traditional riffle with carpets constantly migrates the gold into the carpets, moss, etc. The rubber mats work okay only in ideal conditions. I have tried them over and over, and I find gold in the sluice front to back of the sluice and out.
Any plans to sell the ball valve splitter / blaster and fine gold screens as a kit for the original (non jet) version 2.5" dredge? If so what do you think the price would be for a sweet upgrade mod like this?
I have seen some guys put wheels on it; however, in my mining experience, we will pull it in on a wagon and then break the rest down for the more radical parts of the trail.
If you are going though seal that fast you are most likely running to much sand through the pump. Perhaps you are running the pump dry at times. If you are not doing ether we should look at the seal load. Also if you have received the wrong seal pick up the phone and call so we can make it right. 8189930411
I have the same pump that I have run for over 10 years on the same seal a few years back we blew it out due to being lazy about sucking sand. Try placing you foot valve in a small metal bucket

please help me combat the environmental nut ball people running our county. i am restricted from using a motorized dredge. so I need a dredge powered by the nature flow of water in a river. you can use a pump but can't be powered by combustion engine and probably even electric.

I remember the good old days at San Gabriel. I even took a 8" dredge in there for one week and we pretty dam good.
👍 เป็นอุปกรณ์ ที่ยอดเยี่ยมมาก นำเข้ามาจำหน่ายที่ Thailand บ้าง 🙋♂️
Thanks, mark 👍 this things a monster!!!
Love to see you guys doing a demo video of this "dredge" in the field 👍👍
I agree and I would love to however the laws In Ca are most xoxo out there and it can be tough for us. I want to do one for this machine as well

Things are tough on everyone in the Bidden economy!!!
@@KeeneEngInc indeed fam. One day I'll get it 🙂
Awesome there are some smaller options as regulations start tightening up. Appreciate the help for us micro miners😊 JacobsBrand out!
Be sure to call and speak with mark. Depending on what you're set up perhaps we can save a little more money.
hello from North Idaho,, I went to school with you at Nobel Jr hi your dad had his shop next to Kmart back in the day..............Joe Licha
대단한 장비를 보고 갑니다~^^thing you"
So I’ve ordered the 2.5 in power nozzle upgrade for my 2 in. Stay tuned to see how it works this summer.
Had a great conversation with Mark, ordered an upgrade pkg for my 2" Backpack Dredge. Can't wait to move more dirt!😁

Always improving....

I will remember this, thank you. Will be calling to place order soon 🤑😁🪙💰💵
Nice little setup. I got your 4 inch wish I had a 6 or 8 lol 😂
I need one of these!
Looks like a winner! Rock jams are annoying.
Is it bad that I would wanna change the sluice to Gold Hog mats? I mean Id keep the standard sluice for a while, but eventually switch over.
Awesome where we can find your products.
I have a 2.5 in dredge I bought in late 90s early 2000's. When will it be on the market. I am needing to upgrade.
I'm thinking a siphon engine with a bunch of gear ratios. I don't have the resources like you do

The 1.25 x 1.25 x 1" or .7" is part number SPP125 $ 55.00.
I use a 12 ft long dust bag right after the nozzle and pan that out.
I tried to buy this(2525SN?) from your online shop but I am unable to because of the problem of not shipping in a single shipment
Here is South Korea
We had a cross bar halfmooned on the nozzle but hi pressure went to the jet. Come up we got 40 acre, can we test it??? Pay it off on a weekend.
I wish we could do business that way but we are in survival mode in this Biden economy
@@KeeneEngIncthat is why we placed an order for a out of state trip coming up.
with the power jet roughly 2950.00. With suction nozzle 2850.00
That actually sounds reasonable.
I have the motor and pump. How much for the rest?
I want one. :)
Why not optimize the nozzle with a very oval nozzle as wide as the inlet pipe,
Hi Mark, how much is this?
I Got one of those, M'self 🤪🧐👍
Can you put wheels on it?
I have seen some guys put wheels on it; however, in my mining experience, we will pull it in on a wagon and then break the rest down for the more radical parts of the trail.
is this gonna get me 42 lbs. does it come with a $$$ back guarantee. if i dont get enough gold to buy california. ok i tried. have a good day
😂😅. Gold Squad Out!!!
My Honda pump blow out the seals in less then one season. I bought new seals but you sent the wrong seals. I'm still with out a pump.😢

roughly $1000.00
I’ll give you a call this week about the 2 in upgrade. That was my estimate also. Wasn’t sure if it could be done. Thanks. 🍻
