- We're back up mining the claim again and still haven't found another good pay streak. :(
So we decided it would be fun to briefly explain how a gold dredge works!
The "dredge 101" segment starts around 3:04 if you'd like to jump straight to that part.
ALSO during that segment you'll get your first look at our custom homemade 4 inch dredge the "franken dredge". We know it looks silly but we love it, and it has served us well and dredged up a fair bit of gold :)
As always thanks for watching! Feel free to subscribe if you like, and leave any comments or questions you have down below and we'll try to answer them.
Hey dudes, cool video. I like the name "Frankendredge" :), that's AK how I know it, selfmade... . We badly miss Alaska... Hope we can come 2022 again. Keep on prospecting, you sure will find another paystreak. We have the same situation here now, it's not easy sometimes. Keep on! Hello from a Swiss gold prospector
Ahh your videos look awesome sir. Can’t wait to make my way through your library of content. Keep up the good work.
Hopefully we all find heavy pans soon.
@@twodudesonedredge Wow, thank you so much! Makes me very happy and I needed that right now, cause I have some stress 😃. Thanks, you made my day better!
Awesome video! Looking to get into this here in Alaska myself.
Absolutely. We are always down to give advice or chat about things
@@twodudesonedredge Awesome, I'll definitely keep that in mind. Just retired from the Army and have two teenagers to help with labor!!
It was great to meet you guys
You as well Frank. See you again soon.
Maybe next summer you never know what will happen
Good luck Brothers😎👍🇺🇲💯
Thank you sir. It’s been a blast this year
We would love to come find some gem stones some day down that way.
great work fam. glad I found you guy's. keep on living the dream fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Appreciate the sentiments. Best of luck to you (and us) lol.
Just found you all on YT. Watched a few episodes. You guys are awesome
Thank you sir. Hope you enjoy.
CALICHE is what that false bedrock is. A lighter form of conglomerate not entirely cemented
Gotcha. Yeah it held some decent gold
Good video, keep trying. There's definitely alot of gold in Alaska!! I'm in Arizona, i wanted to do some dredging in Alaska this summer but border crossing has been closed unfortunately. Keep on after the gold!!!!
Keep in touch and we can meet up when you do get up here.
@@twodudesonedredge sounds good my brother! Get alot of gold!!
@@jamesmudd2227 we’re giving it our best.
Sweet
Great video lads 👍 love the underwater shots. Its well worth prospecting those spots first before lugging those dredge about. Do you guys test pan these spots first?
We don’t really but we are on fairly proven ground. I don’t know if panino would help much due to the overburden being so deep.
@@twodudesonedredge Thanks for explaining that for me. Makes sense. Good luck on your next day out.
@@highlandgoldfever4440 yeah we have to power through some gravels to get to the bedrock. But it’s worth it
I would love to do this I have a 4” Keene dredge and I’m from Indiana it would be a long ass driving to Alaska but would be fun ,where is this is in Alaska ?
South central.
Nice channel name
Thanks Bryce. Going to have to get you out to the mine one of these days.
like your videos but you said its a keene pump and motor setup thats a proline as the label says
I’ll double check with Brennan but pretty sure the compressor was a proline product. Definitely Keene pump and motor. The flare and jet I’m not 100% sure about.
@@twodudesonedredge was the 4 " one I have two many dredges my self and forget which one im on lol.
Good eyes Jeff! The air compressor is a proline T80, and our water pump on that 4" is indeed a Keene engineering model, same with the jet log and flare. Forgot to explain the air system we'll have to get around to that in a future video. Thanks - Brennan
