Prospector Jerry......that is a fantastic idea....me and Slim really love it .....we got to get out in the field and test it..... Thanks and keep those vids coming....
Dowsing does work, I watched one of jeff Williams videos on it and tried it. I got some pretty nice flakes in areas that I didn't think would have gold
That's a truly genius idea Jerry. Even if your not the first person to think of the idea. You probably are the first to set aside all selfishness and share it with the world. Thanks again Jerry for sharing with this video. That's is just so sick. 👍
I wouldn't use this for dredging personally but the hose extension idea is genius for cleaning shallow bodies of water in relation to pool/spa/waterfall maintenance, you could even hook a vacuum head to the hose for shallow step, niches and so forth. GREAT IDEA!!! Thanks 🙂👍
Thanks great idea! This is not meant to dredge, a dredge is used to expose bedrock bearing gold and this is then used to collect the rich pay layer instead of running it through the dredge box with the potential of some loss. This is like a clean up tool more so.
So I was wanting to make one from a wet/dry vac and searching videos to see ideas that others had and I think you did really well I’m hoping I can rig up something that works in and out of the water for crevasses above the water line
Jerry That Nugget is AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing that cool invention you came up with, I think that would be really great to have when you have to hike into rough or out of the way places. I think I might try to make one of those👍👍
California Mother Lode Prospectors Your welcome, but it’s guys like you who are not afraid to show something that might help someone else. A lot of people will not share a cool invention or helpful gadget.....so THANKS BROTHER!
@@Smithsgold hey smithsgold. Are you able to recommend any areas in williams applegate area for family friendly prospecting, besides the cantral buckley river campsite just before mckee bridge? Also. Is twotoes the same guy glen wadstein that mined sterling creek on the late 80s? Placer. There are free milling gold on ferris gulch and some old chromium claims...just dont want to run on private property with my metal detector and sluice box 2inch dredge people laugh.
Absolutely brilliant. ..sorry it's my idea,I patented it...not...it's a specialty tool....it's funny I want one,you know everyone wants one..I endorse your idea..you make them,iwill sell them,next year ,we all go to alaska,we get rich,grow fat and one man's super idea....thank you for sharing...
late to the party. but I'm thinking about this for some waterfall cracks. could you attach the pole and use a shorter nozel, to push down through the faster moving water down into the cracks?
This is exactly what I was thinking of making. And now I know my idea (not originally mine obviously lol) works! Took a bit to find this video but well worth finding. Subbed
Yeah it will be perfect for carefully cleaning out a pocket in a crack without running the gold through the main dredge box and risking possible loss, I see lots of use in the right place.
Thank u for sharing.i just see it the perfect tool of crevicing . it will be fair if anyone watch this vid and liked the idea to unless subscribe to give credit back to this innovative guy for his great ideas. From you we learn budy god bless
You know that's a really good idea man I have a friend that up in North Carolina he actually took one of them big shop vacs and sucked up a lot of crevice gold and even behind couple of big boulders and then panned out and actually found some nice gold.
@@californiamotherlodeprospect your welcome,anyone can see (and knows) there are cracks, crevices and other collection spots deposits, that no dredge can clean out,not with the suction, and the type of attachments you could use on that baby,it's battery operated,good,hope to see more!
And you know that thing is made to fit on the end of a 10’ pole. With the right tip cha-Ching. The 6ah battery is supposed to really increase efficiency also. I must have.
Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! man that brings up all sorts of ideas. All those wet areas that are easy to get to but too hard to effectively crevice out. Has two toes see this???????
@@californiamotherlodeprospect your invention there looks pretty cool for sniping and that nuggets pretty magic Man.... That's a rough looking piece there might be more back where you found that buddy nuggets like that usually have a few friends
Is the idea to vacuum up the paydirt until the clear container is full and then empty it in a gold pan and pan it from there? If so why wouldn’t you just scoop up the paydirt with the gold pan or a shovel to begin with. Or would you be deep under water and swim back up every 5 min to empty the vacuum container. I’m sorry but I just don’t understand how this would come in handy or what this would be used for. Please explain I’m very curious.
When your sniping for gold your focused on bedrock cracks, they are jammed with material and small. You bustopen the material and clear by hand until you see the gold in the crack, then you use this to collect the gold in the crack. Its not like a normal dredge to move overburrden, more of a finishing tool.
I noticed this was discontinued due to waterproofing. Have you given any thought to trying out submersible pool vacuums that can be recharged? I’m looking into a USB one that I can connect to a solar panel to charge in the field and get 2-3 hours per day use out of. There’s a few candidates. One battery operated and a lot of plug to charge.
@@californiamotherlodeprospect I live near the Philadelphia airport and found a decent spot with some small flake gold. A massive quartz vain& granite come together. can't wait to give it a whirl.👍👌✌️
WOW Jery!! That is a super awesome idea. How long do you figure the hose could be before loosing good suction? That deep crevices I found this past season goes down more than 3' Couldn't finish it off!
Thanks! I think you could at least double the length with no problem, it has a very good amount of suction and I think you could do at least double if not more.
California Mother Lode Prospectors I saw that. Impressive. I like how you can pack in a extra battery even if it has only 45 minutes of runtime per pack. That can be stretched out tremendously crevicing.....Im Sure it would be super useful for crevicing on land with this submerged in a tote and adding water into the crevices with buckets then pull the goodies out with all that suction.... I want to buy one soon when my health improves... Couldnt imagine a setup like that in the motherload of the yuba though with all those holes and crevice pockets as far as the eye can see
Wow. Jerry, that's the shit man. Water proof for how long? Longevity is my concern. If it last long enough to pay for itself, that's a sure fire winner. Awesome dude.
Prospector Jerry......that is a fantastic idea....me and Slim really love it .....we got to get out in the field and test it..... Thanks and keep those vids coming....
Right on Jeff! I think once slim trys it out he ain't gonna wanna share! Thanks for watching and the support, and oh yeah much more on the way!
You think dowsing works, so forgive me if I'm skeptical.
Did you test it,would love to see a video with it being used...thank you
Dowsing does work, I watched one of jeff Williams videos on it and tried it. I got some pretty nice flakes in areas that I didn't think would have gold

I just need one word to describe what I think of this invention... AWESOME 👍X1000

Holly molly Jerry that is badass. It does work ! It’s alive. Crap now I want one lol
Its ALIVE!!! HAH thanks bro
Me too! Looking on eBay now!!😂
Kick ass idea Jerry! That is awesome. Never seen one of those cordless. Great job!
Right on Rick!

I have 75% of the one+ tools! And don’t have this because I don’t have a pool! But I think you just have me a reason to get it! Haha 🍀🍺
Nice demo Jerry and great idea with the Ryobi. It sucked up that large piece of gold no problem, so smaller stuff on crevices is gonna be easy peasy.
Thanks Chris, I am very surprised with how much suction it has for sure!
Love this, I had this same idea except was trying to figure out how to hook it up to a mini sluice. GREAT JOB!
Thanks Matt!
Thanks for that Jerry! I Googled battery powered dredge and found you. It's a good day!

best hand dredge and at a awesome price fantastic
Appreciate it Danny!
Never knew they existed. Sooooooo quiet.... like a shadow in the night!
Same here Fred, I knew i needed it as soon as I laid eyes on it lol
You can get 6ah batteries that reportedly improves performance considerably
It's extremely cool. You have a gifted mind. Show your wife these comments so she believes you😂

This is a very cool idea for many reasons, I have to get one.... Thanks for the great video!
Glad I could inspire, yes I have yet to get in the water with mine but I can't wait to!
First comment! That's sick bro!
That's Awesome Jerry, I can see you now sucking up all that BG closer to the gut of the river. Great idea man...
Thanks Ed! Your hand dredge video inspired me, I had to share !
@@californiamotherlodeprospect Awesome Bro!!!
late to the party. but I'm thinking about this for some waterfall cracks. could you attach the pole and use a shorter nozel, to push down through the faster moving water down into the cracks?
shop vac with foam filter works well too. filsl too quickly fully under water but working cracks n crevices pulls lots of material.
Thanks for the info!
That's sweet. Can't wait to see it in action and see what you get with it
Thanks Frank same here bro!
Yeah I shared on Facebook
This is exactly what I was thinking of making. And now I know my idea (not originally mine obviously lol) works! Took a bit to find this video but well worth finding. Subbed
Looks pretty powerful for it's size. Just put some camo netting on it and your good to go!
Yeah it will be perfect for carefully cleaning out a pocket in a crack without running the gold through the main dredge box and risking possible loss, I see lots of use in the right place.

Yusrah thanks and I appreciate it :D
I have been eyeing this for this exact reason! I have the small hand vac for dry stuff already
Same here yellow dog, love my dry vac!
Nice. Thank you for sharing
Humm that’s interesting thank you. And good luck to you finding that shiny.
I hope to see you use that on the river soon. Looks like a good tool to have.

Thats awesome Billy, yes a vac in the right spot can be very good!
That's genius!!! That thing will clean out a crack faster than a crack head on pay day! Nice!
LMAO Brandon! Aint that the truth!
Shows you don't live on my road! 😝😝
One hell of an idea. Love it
You sir...are a genius.
HAHA If I only were paid like one id believe it! Thanks Bro!
You're not wrong
Thanks Chris
Definite GENIUS, thanks!
thank you for the tips!! it would sure beat the heck out of my turkey baster i,m now using!!
Great idea Pioneer Pauly should try that out
Genius pure genius
Very quiet, very strong,good share.
Thanks Craig!

I had the same idea when I saw that last week at home depot
Can't wait to try it out!
@@californiamotherlodeprospect I wonder how deep you can go? Since its portable I'd bet it can handle deeper water no problem.

One gold sucker,need to get one soon.Great invention for the real miner,must have.
Thanks David!
I'm heading to the hardware store NOW
Mate thanks great video just what I needed
go man go!!
A submersible underwater swimming pool vacuum for cleaning the bottom of swimming pools.
Amazing. Lol. Great share.
Awsome ! Thanks for the info !
Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! man that brings up all sorts of ideas. All those wet areas that are easy to get to but too hard to effectively crevice out. Has two toes see this???????
HAHA not sure but I could see it benefiting him for sure!
Excellent idea Jerry!
Thanks Bert!! is this Nomad Bert??
Wow. Great idea
Great idea! 👍🏼
YES! that is RAD!
if you buy it then its yours and you can use it for whatever you want well thats my view
Yes sir, thanks John!
Very didactic video ! Thank you Defoe sharing
Thank you!
California Mother Lode Prospectors hope you back mate
way cool !! Thanks Jerry :-)
Glad you liked it!
Looks like I’ll have to buy a pool to use that lol
Heck yes Ryobi Man, its a great tool!
Awesome idea
Thanks!
That's pretty cool....and nice nugget 2
Right on Bennett that's my best piece so far, hopefully not for too much longer lol!
@@californiamotherlodeprospect your invention there looks pretty cool for sniping and that nuggets pretty magic Man.... That's a rough looking piece there might be more back where you found that buddy nuggets like that usually have a few friends

naww it sucks! lol thanks Barry
I know some spots I would love to take that too
How long does one battery last with it sucking ?

Das mal eine sehr gute ide Top...
Vielen Dank!
Great Idea ☺️
Awesome idea :)
I noticed this was discontinued due to waterproofing. Have you given any thought to trying out submersible pool vacuums that can be recharged? I’m looking into a USB one that I can connect to a solar panel to charge in the field and get 2-3 hours per day use out of. There’s a few candidates. One battery operated and a lot of plug to charge.
When are you going to do a field test. Been waiting bro.
I've tried it once so far and it worked great, just not in a good location, no gold lol
They are so bloody expensive. And unfortunately in most places all machinery is illegal.
Not ture thats what they want you to think
Awesome man! Thanks!!!
💧proof? Wow!
genius mate
Fantastic job.
Thanks Advenzures!
That's pretty awesome
Thank!
Awesome
Ryobi better hook you up after this video. the great idea that's going to make a lot of Miners buy these vacuums and try your idea
HAHA thanks Joe, yeah that would be sweet if they did!
@@californiamotherlodeprospect I live near the Philadelphia airport and found a decent spot with some small flake gold. A massive quartz vain& granite come together. can't wait to give it a whirl.👍👌✌️
How many seconds does the battery last? I'd rather it be wired, run the wire down a pole, work it from the bank.
It lasts prolly 10 minutes of run time id say.
Eliminate the hose and add a lil 1/8inch wire mesh to tip of intake
Great idea. Thanks for sharing. CR
Thanks Goldwaschen!
Wow what a bad @$$ idea man good looking out!!!
Right on brother!
WOW Jery!! That is a super awesome idea. How long do you figure the hose could be before loosing good suction? That deep crevices I found this past season goes down more than 3' Couldn't finish it off!

@@californiamotherlodeprospect I agree since it had no trouble sucking up that beautiful nugget! Thanks Jerry, GREAT Video!
Nice bro
Gotta have one of those for sure! Do you think the 6 AH battery will fit inside of the battery housing? It looks like your using a 2 AH.
Michael I am using a 4 ah battery and there looks to be room but I am not sure if a 6 will fit or not.
getting one now!!!!!!!
Right on!!
I love that!!!
Thanks Jeff!
Great idea. And you found one on eBay. Im looking. Ty
Put this on my "do not do " list
Good Idea !
Thanks!
Nice!!! That’s an awesome idea!!!
Thanks GoldGetters!
California Mother Lode Prospectors can’t wait to see that thing in action
Could you use a longer hose and get the same results
That thing is waterproof?
That's mint cheers man!!!😁👍
Thanks Ralph! Cheers!
Dude that is a ninja too bad ass👍👍
HAHA for sure, silent but sucks lol
Works good, do you think they’ll let us use it in Cali
lol i'm using mine!
Good idea…. How much does it weigh
That's awesome
Thanks!
Wonder if it has enough power to hook up to a 4 or 5 gallon bucket? with the hose attached to the bucket.
I would say it probably does, it has a lot of suction..

Now I should say( that sucks) ! Great job. Look out shark tank new idea lol 🤡🎈
lol "well, it sure does SUCK!"
This is the coolest homemade tool EVER!!
I’m definitely building me one!!
How long does the battery last??
Thaks King! I have yet to find out but I bet enough to work well
Really nice device! Thanks for sharing. What voltage is the battery?
Thanks Roamer, 18volt
nice
Wow. Jerry, that's the shit man. Water proof for how long? Longevity is my concern. If it last long enough to pay for itself, that's a sure fire winner. Awesome dude.
Yeah id like to see how it performs out in the field myself but I have a feeling it may work, at least for the $80 i'll give it a try and find out!
Genius !!!!!!
