  • The best gold prospecting tool for every season is the one that will find you the most gold! In this case, the water levels are just right for me to gold dredge an area of bedrock that I have been eyeing for years. For this, we pull out the suction nozzle since it performs very well in low water situations.
    Let's find more gold!

    1.5” high pressure? My nozzle is for a 2” pressure i’m worried that it’s going to be really hard to work with because of how stiff the hose gets

    • @ColoradoGoldCamp
      @ColoradoGoldCamp  2 года назад +2

      Yes, this 3" nozzle has a 1.5" hp hose. The 3" is much more maneuverable than the 4". I wanted to use my 4" drylander here but pre testing showed that my hoses were too stiff to work the nozzle. The 4" suction nozzle really needs some sort of swivel feature to be an effective tool. So long your 4" hoses are new and flexible, you'll be ok. Once they start getting stiff, working bedrock or in areas where you have to move/twist the nozzle frequently (most areas) you will begin to curse the nozzle.

    • @ColoradoGoldCamp
      @ColoradoGoldCamp  2 года назад +3

      Mining is a quite complicated process. This particular run took: a carb clean on the engine, fuel, fixing suction nozzle, patching holes in blaster hose, ordering new 3" hose, retrofitting the sluice extension, diligently watching the water flows, prepping hole, drive time, dive gear, human fuel, other planning and actual work/dive time. Once everything is set n ready to go, I dedicate the entire day to mining. It is work.
