One trick I found when dredging close to bedrock in shallow non-swift water is breaking up gravel with hand tools and wipe off clay on bigger rocks before raking larger rocks away. After raking away all the larger rock in a large area or crevice then bring in the dredge to suck up all the gold and small gravels and sand. Sometimes its a lot quicker with a lot less rock jams. The more material you work the more gold you get in a good spot. Take a small hand garden rake for narrow areas and a large garden rake for larger over burden areas and see if its not faster.
KyLe~I really like that sound underwater and the rock getting sucked up. The bubbles and echos! Best childhood memories of dredging Wolf CreeK with my dad. I loved that place! Thank You
People are going to start doubting weather all of that gold really came from Missouri. Just take it as a compliment. That is absolutely rockstar gold bro. Persistence pays.
Only trying to help. When you brush your fingers upstream against the flow in your sluice trying to clear gravel out you disturb the hard pack of black sand and gold at the bottom of the swirl which throws it back into the turbulent flow and right out the end of your sluice. If your going to do that (and don't do it very much) brush with your fingers pointing upflow and brush lightly making a motion towards the end of the sluice. Trust me, this will save gold. Look at it this way, the only place gold likes as much or more than behind riffles in a sluice is where the water allows it to fall, usually where two current seams come together and with other gold. We have all seen gold sitting behind a screw in a sluice on flat metal, won't move. Just imagine screwing that natural spot by sticking your hand in there, changing the flow. Great video, best of luck.
Sounds about like my old Keene 3 inch dredge. I'd LOVE to go again, but I CAN'T get time off to do it, with my career. I'm thinking this year I may sell the dredge, along with the air pump, pans, shovels, buckets, & spiral wheel! I'd rather see to go to someone that can make use of it than have it sit here NOT being used
I invested in a dry suite, when I use to be able to dredge. Here in Washington state our season for dredging is very limited. Usually 2 weeks to a month long. This is teh BUSY time of year at work, so I'm unable to schedule time off to go dredging 😢
Way to go bud! Get some goldhog or the like matting, oh (sorry not to come across as know it all, get some chicken wire or something for the nozzle end. Keep those big rocks out easier, wont find nuggets that sized
Hi Mate Another great video. Just a question about your mates setup I see his dose not have a more common nozzle setup like yours! How or where dose his get the Venturi suction from?? Cheers mate keep the videos coming
thank you but i have learned i would rather move more material that classify as doc from gold hog says classifying is a waste of time, unless you on a super hot spot
I did not understand did your Green suck thing crack? if so if you never used silicon tape, you can just tape it at the spot, and reuse the tape when you remove it later men fixing the crack. Its waterproof and light and air proof also👍 just a tips
That outta make you forget bout your cold wet feet. I think you should buy some flex tape for your waders, can't hurt to be prepared and a quick coat of the flex seal for that ounce of protection.
Hey Kyle love your videos I watch every single one of them. I was wondering if you have any idea of your gold total since you’ve started doing it. I’m so curious. Love what you do. I have a lot of gold equipment myself but don’t find much in Youngstown Ohio.
Get the kind of chest waders that don't have boots, then put a pair of leather boots over them and a set of knee pads like roofers use, your waders will last longer and cost less.
Kyle, would it be easier to use a 45* end rather than a 90* ? I have been watching a lot of types and I do wonder on that. By the by, i do love these videos. I am a couch warrior so it is all I got. Great stuff.
I appreciate you and I’m sure it would work that is a specialized nozzle where you can take in out of the water and your still getting water to the pump because of the shut off valve for the power jet.
I'm telling you Kyle, there has to be a outcroppings down there. That gold looks to big to be glacier till. I struggle to find a piece as big as the smaller stuff in the pan up here in Iowa. Congrats and you did a helluva lot better than I could on keeping quiet.
wherever you are on this video man here in a few days that would be excellent morel mushroom hunting beings there are so many dang sycamore trees there
When you came back from the break for warming up your feet the first clip was of you using a breaker bar and I thought you hit the great toilet paper mother load. That white tape. Hahaha.
I saw PNW in your channel name, & had to check your channel out. I gotta get headed to work, so I DIDN'T have time to watch anything. Looks like some cool content you have. Subbed, & will be checking the channel out in the near future.
Hey man you would be a kid in a candy store here in Az. My profile pic was my best day here hand digging and drywashing by myself. 4.8 grams with a 2.14 g nugget. Check out my Facebook page with the same name. Did 4.1 the Saturday after

Congrats on the biggest nugget U found, looks like a lot of work, HH for Gold & Flakes
Wow, awesome nugget! The dredge seems to work well!!

Отличный результат,молодци,продолжайте в том же темпе.
Truly enjoyed the sluicing adventure, and seeing some gold...
Glad you enjoyed it

100% agreed
Totally enjoyed your presentation. Thks. Good information. Easy to listen too.
Nice looking gold! Congratulations on your big nugget. Always enjoy watching dredging videos 😁 Much love from California.
from my years of guiding for steelhead flyfishing: When it comes to waders, you get what you pay for. Thickness matters
100% truth!
That give me the gold fever omg great clean out brother keep it up love your vids
Is it just me or does your dredge fluctuate suction power like crazy?
this is SO exciting!!! You gota get gold with this equipment again!!!!!!!
That's just awesome!..You give me hope for here in my state of NY...
Klinker in the pan! Awesome find Kyle 😁
Dredges, you gotta love them. Ive got a Keene 2 inch floating one that hasn't been in the water for about ten years.
Sounds about like my old Keene 3 inch dredge. I'd LOVE to go again, but I CAN'T get time off to do it, with my career. I'm thinking this year I may sell the dredge, along with the air pump, pans, shovels, buckets, & spiral wheel! I'd rather see to go to someone that can make use of it than have it sit here NOT being used
Wish I could afford one
Very nice!! Great job Man!!
A picker and some flake, great finds Kyle.Happy Trails Man!🤙⚒
You got it right in the right spot congratulations guy save them you may never be able to replace them.thank you for sharing.
Lovin your work as always Kyle 🍻
Much appreciated!
You should use your gold Cube as a super classifier. nice nugget!!!💪👍
Hello, from the KC side of the state. I was wondering, how do you find these spots with exposed bedrock? It's non-existent over here.
Congratulations on the nugget!
That was a nice nugget. I wonder what the biggest piece of gold ever found in Missouri is.
Wow good for you keep digging Kyle

That's why I like to classify it down and take out the magnetics first. Easier to pan.
This looks like such a fun job I would love to do this

Hi Mate
Another great video.
Just a question about your mates setup I see his dose not have a more common nozzle setup like yours! How or where dose his get the Venturi suction from??
Cheers mate keep the videos coming
You might consider classifying your pay dirt in several grits to improve your clean up yields. Nuggets are nice but most gold is fine.
Nice gold man, tip, invest in some classifier’s
thank you but i have learned i would rather move more material that classify as doc from gold hog says classifying is a waste of time, unless you on a super hot spot
@@Kylethiemann well if you just use an 1/8 you wont have to deal with the larger rocks, as most gold you find is small. But hey, do what works for ya
Have a Rounded End With Cris Cross Like a Screen, Make it 3/16 round bar stock Have it with 1/2" Square Holes

I will weigh it when i have a few big vials filled.
Kyle Thiemann cool congrats my friend that was amazing.🤩👍

looked like a very goo run great vid
Lotsa gold innat pan!! Noice!!
Sweet find
I bet if you go back a year later you can run that across that exposed bedrock and get onto more gold.
I need to find some Missouri gold sitting here wanting to find a spot that a old man can get down too lol nice looking nugget
The pawn shops are the best places to find gold in Missouri. Missouri is not a good gold bearing state.
Nice nugget!
Thanks!
very nice find
That nugget sort of looks like a Arrow head good find .
Its just a small one..but you do happy ..btw nice bro
How did you do my friend?
Kyle, would it be easier to use a 45* end rather than a 90* ? I have been watching a lot of types and I do wonder on that. By the by, i do love these videos. I am a couch warrior so it is all I got. Great stuff.

Very nice.
Nice would love to have one of them

Killer clean up man you deserve it.
28:40 that's what you came for
Freaking AWESOME Kyle
On average how much gold do you find per day Dredging ?
wherever you are on this video man here in a few days that would be excellent morel mushroom hunting beings there are so many dang sycamore trees there
You're killing it bro still want to see the cleanup of that Kentucky or was it Tennessee gold
thank you and tenne!
Nice gold dude
Thanks!
Yeah dude you need to do that more often. That's probably the biggest nugget ever found in Missouri lol
Wooooooooooooo!!
Good job
Not Missouri?
Nice nugg
Muito bom
Eu também gosto de fazer prospecção aqui na minha região.
Very nice ! If I try this in my Country be in jail ffs ! Cheers from Harrison hot springs BC
What state are u in
Lol ! I get it
When you came back from the break for warming up your feet the first clip was of you using a breaker bar and I thought you hit the great toilet paper mother load.
That white tape. Hahaha.
I definitely saw some flour gold as he was sucking it up. I saw it several times.
Wow
How cool is that!!?
Niiiiiiice
Crazy
You still in Missouri lol good pan lol
Nice picker
18 volt millwallkeyy chain saw ;]
bro the hum of your fan is putting me asleep
lol
Thats called a clinker where I come from.
Your reduction is already good enough why put wire across it you'll move more material by leaving it open just watch your feed rate
I saw PNW in your channel name, & had to check your channel out. I gotta get headed to work, so I DIDN'T have time to watch anything. Looks like some cool content you have. Subbed, & will be checking the channel out in the near future.
Muck chore boots 15” I use
Плохой эжектор, трудная работа , много затрат.
