  • I show you how to make a hand gold dredge. This can be used in conjunction with a gold pan.
    This tool is useful for prospecting for gold on bedrock or dense rock, or areas where a shovel is not practical.

    I suggest putting a hole on the top side- I put mine in the 2" cap for the handle - that way you aren't fighting any air pressure and can tighten the heck out of your test plug. Your suction will be significantly better, and your material/water won't immediately drop out.

      Do you not sell your Tributary product anymore. If not, what kind of valve was used to reverse the flow into the bucket. How much was or is that setup. Thanks Joshua

      Once I finally found Lowes and Home Depot employees that knew what a Plumber Test Plug was, both stores had them, albeit Home Depots were only in the 3" to 4" sizes. Thanks Joshua

    Why didn't you put an end on it to reduce the 2" opening? If I want to get down into the crevices I need a much smaller end.
