Soooo satisfying. I’ve watch this video several times.

Hei, can you told me how to start all this process and what I need please???🙏🏼

Satisfying to watch.. love it

I'm interested in what type of pumps you use to get those big rocks

So there a tutorial somewhere so can see exactly what mods have been done ?

Did you get any gold ?I just bought a 4” Keene and I’m just waiting for summer here in Indiana

Thing seems awfully lazy.

Oh man I'm so addicted to bedrock even more now!!

How many months can you run before you do a clean up,,, you seeem to have plenty of catch screens

I USE AN AIR CHISEL , iT REALLY SPEEDS BUSTING UP THAT BED ROCK UP SUPPER FAST

That lower riffle section on the new Keene 6200 series dredges sure looks familiar. Nice to see keene paying attention.

Hello. I have one question about the characteristics of this track 3. I am interested in the thickness of the sheet of the main trough and its dimension.

When going for the superfine flour gold is classification important on the sluice? My golds 30mesh, largest. Most is 150mesh and smaller. What point would a 3 stage work well too, and any ideas on best mesh sizes for me to try first? Thanks

Por cuánto te fue el costo $ de todo el equipo y como se puede ordenar

All you would have to do in my opinion is have one layer sluice box with full coverage of black ribbed matting on the bottom and then a full layer of miner's moss on top of that then your set of riffles in place should be enuff for optimal fine gold recovery and running the engine at 3/4 throttle to slow the water down without fear of losing any gold whatsoever and still capture probably 98% or more of the gold !!!! What you did sir is way too much effort for not really any more gold at all in my opinion but it's your dredge and you have to do all that extra work for not a whole lot more gold !!! I said to myself dear God that's a days work what he's doing no time to dredge now !!! Just pickin at ya buddy !!!!

that as slow work painful to watch lol

Jajaja wtf??

Why did you want to lift the frame higher?

ึ

nice find, that is hard work dredging under water

I dont get why you want to modify something that millions have been spent on the development of this dredge system? Keene's three stage system has a proven track record. Changing the carpet out for miners moss is about the only chsmges thst maybe needed depending on where you are dredging. People make all kinds of changes to these dredges when they do not need it. Once you dial in thr aluice and buy a tachometer... Thats about all you need on them. Just dont over feed them, once in the pay layers back off the rpms by 100-150 and get the AU. I have personally found negative 70 mesh AU on the Miracle Mat in the first stage by listening to my dredging friends. Just setting the sluice so the power jet sets about two inches from the flair and only sticking the power jet inside the flair enough so it is just past the openings on flair helps too. By slowing the dredge down to 2650 to 2550 rpms once I get into the gold. I agree you need to run it faster , 2900 to 3100 rpms to remove the over burden. Personally I am not getting my fingers or hands any where near the nozzle at those rpms even with gloves on. You dont have to run this dredge wide open with the Honda GX200 to move a lot of material. I also use a blaster nozzle and run it off the pump with the big high volume water hose valve with a leaver on it too. I also used the high volume Y valve on the pump and a 25 foot 3/4" Red gilmour commercial water hose. I hope the owner of this video does not delete this so others can see this message. I sold my Keene three stage dredge back in February because someone wanted it more than me. I made the man one heck ofa deal too. Due to health reasons I haven't replaced it yet. I am planning on buying another 4 inch Keene 3 stage with the Gast air pump as soon as my health improves. The only mods I will be making is miners moss with low ridge rubber mat in the 1st stage and in the 3rd stage. Welding on some 3/4 inch tubing for spud poles on three sides. I usually use two 8 ft 1/2 copper coated ground rods. I do not use a spud pole on the engine side. I onlyy use spud poles one in creeks and shallow water. In the rivers I use 50 and or 100 foot 3/8 or 1/2 ropes set to a 5 lbs or bigger folding boat anchor with a locking self adjustable pulley system for fast prospecting and moves. I also use a 3 to 4 man inflatable boat to carry my extra stufff. Using two spud poles makes moving the dredge very easy and fast when the tailings build up at the end of the sluice. If I use the spuds in the river I always have an anchor set just in case the water comes up very fast. I also use the blaster nozzle to set the spuds down into the sand and rocks. Most importantly, I do not use cheap ropes either. Why would you risk losing a $3K to $4K plus dredge on a cheap rope? Plus your putting your life at risk too if under water and your dredge takes off down stream! Never dive alone! If you do go out alone always tell a loved one or someone you can trust where you are and about what time your coming home. When using scuba gear or on compressed air, always have someone with you incase something happens. Never dredge under big loose bolders, rocks and leaning trees. Your life is not worth all of the gold in the creek or river! You cant enjoy it once your dead and you sure cant take it with you!

I love this setup, its the perfect home cleanup system great work

must be nice to have equiptment like that!

I Payed 65 for mine

Cool clean up I have a trap can't wait use it So u gonna show how much u found

Very cool set up how u do in gold

Камешки постучат по этим красивым цацкам сутки и что потом делать? Домой ехать за запчастями? Слишком много мелких прижимов. Очень сложный аппарат.

Hi Leftoverau, I'm glad that I took a second look at your video. I'm leaving in morning headed up Sharps Cr. I had that riffle in wrong the one at 2:04 in vid. The dredge is used but new to me. It came disassembled no instructions. So thanks for the vid. Are you still running with this set up or have you made more mods? Sounds like we both run in the same area. Would you have any advice for Sharps? Personally I hope that those mods you made to your dredge are the solution to super fine recovery. Best to you and thanks again.

I like that you added a blaster to your setup. Is that off the hose bib or did you get the big one? looks like it works well on hard pack. nice vid.

I just bought a gold dredge model 6220DE with the twin diesel engines from Keene Engineering, I was afraid of trying to assemble it until coming across your video, Mr leftover... great stuff keep it up... tks

xaxaxaaxaxa

nice video, is that all stock 3 stage sluice equipment(carpeting)?

Man i love that sound a dredge makes under water!!!! I run mine just a little off full throttle thats what i like proline says full throttle... don't know what Keene says? What is your experience? For rpms?

Do you have anything constructive to add. Such as a run through of what setup you have goin on there mate?

So where is your setup ?

Like your setup. Can you post your water feed section prior to the Sluice? I want to see how your setup allows the water to enter the sluice

Anyone can design stuff on a napkin with a pen, whats that cost? You can't even buy a decent motor/pump/air (new) for 1/5 the cost of a new dredge. This dredge was bought used for less than material cost and is not an endorsement for Keene.

i use pretty much the same setup as you they work great only thing different i would like to try is some sort of auto feed. cheers.

Actually, I sell bridges. Would you like to buy one? It also has 100% gold recovery < yes the bridge! Glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with your project.

Did the guy that sold you that sluice box also have a bridge for sale too? Seriously, Keene has no clue how to design an efficient sluice box on a dredge after all the years they have been in business. I've had my own custom dredge since 1971 and I can assure you that 100% gold recovery is not as complicated as what Keene makes it out to be with their "fancy" features and components. As the saying goes KISS. Its ALL in the riffle design. Note: singular riffle. Good luck with that.

It's called a crevice attachment. Apparently you have missed the whole point of the video, which was to show the gold being uncovered in-situ. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching.

hand dredge would of been way more effective...

Very nice, ive been dreaming about getting one like that one day:) waiting for the right moment. nice video(s) :)

Yes they are very efficient when you pre classify. They are a bit tricky to get dialed in on a creek, though it's certainly possible. You will definitely notice if the water level in the creek changes a little. Think I paid $85.00 new for it, can't seem to find many used ones for sale for some reason. Think they have been around for 20+? years.

Looks like it works really well for blasting off those lite sands.

Yes they work very well when set up correctly. For the price you would be hard pressed to find anything better.

Yes I have. As it's shown here in the highbanker stand. But its a crude cumbersome prototype so I just mostly use it for cleanups

You know me :) I'm always interested. I lived in a tent most all summer this year basically because I was too cheap to drag the trailer all over the western states... lol. But that's my life these days & I do enjoy the traveling, living in the woods, & having great friends to work with :)

Hey Chuck :) I couldn't exactly tell from the movie but I'm glad that you helped us see the contact zone here, it looked different enough more or less in the movie but not recognizable. I had a great summer in Wyoming, Colorado, & great dredging in Idaho with Wallrat. I have our entire summer here in playlists on my channel. Twas a great year & I'm still getting good gold between the rains. I really do work well underwater & I do enjoy running with a hot water system. Pressure Washers work great

Thanks for watching mining friend! :)
