too much ocean swell unless you raise it above the waves on the spuds which i would avoid , OR have a submersible that carries the gravels to a suction collector and pumps it to surface , which i would avoid because there are simpler ways :)
60 Feet! Oh Shawn is a big winner with that. Much love and respect for all the effort to get rich and have a blast doing it. Great health to all and peace through innovation.
If he borrows a system idea from the North Sea wind industry and makes it a Jack ship that raises above the waves it will be able to sit and work through most weather.
Is it possible to build a vacuum dredge for anything deeper than 30 feet? I have seen some suction hopper dredges that look like they can reach deeper than 30 feet, but I have little knowledge about just how deep it is physically possible vacuum up the material. I just checked "Cutter Suction Dredge Working principles" on TH-cam and found at least 1 that can dredge down to 35 meters deep, which is 38 yards or 115 feet.
Awesome content!! Being in 🇬🇧 we get limited tv shows so the off tv side is real interesting. Shawn needs to see the dude parker n co met in nz with that mahoosive bucket dredge capable off 90-100’ i think it was..
Forget the excavator dredge Shaun, build a cutter suction dredge, gigantic sluice boxes and vacuum all that gold from the bottom of the bearing sea! Its all yours mate, just clean it out!
So basically all that money spent on the mega dredge has been wasted and in hindsight he could have used a simple ultra sound machine to find out the thickness of the metal on the dredge as one of my jobs a few years ago was testing the thickness of the piping on an oil refinery and it was very accurate
So the Mega Dredge didnt meet survey spec ? Couldnt they have abrasive blasted and double plated the hull ? Maybe too much work and stffing around when he would rather be mining.
i put the phone down for a min and forgot what i was watching, listening i thought i was hearing don the predator frye, toxic masculinity podcast, double d's in your face.
Shawn miss you NZ ... Hamilton.
Nice having you here short-term
Great Show BRING IT BACK‼️
Looking good indeed fam. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out!!!
How about a bucket line conveyor like the old dredges, but with hydraulics so it can be lowered according to depth?

How about robotics? Replace 1 man with 2 machines and get double the gold.
@@greenandgold2185 They tried that in previous episodes and was found not to be that good of an idea
Support
Good on you Shawn
Strength and positivity to - for you
Great content Emily!!!
Still wsiting to happend man you diservd that, love from 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪

If he can bring it up from 60 ft. and do it everyday during season..
Pomrenke surfaces..right on!!!!

You buy it I'll drive it lol
@@andrewjones6351 I just found a used one on Beijing Craigslist for cheap lol.
Thats the kiddie million a day easy
Its a shame Shawn that the mega dredge is on the back burner i was hoping to see it on the sea making tons of gold for you
From a lousy trouble making young man,to the most responsible hard working man for gold in Alaska.🙉🙉🙉🙉
He is right nobody has built the right tool

Keep on dreaming! That’s the way you will stay Mr Gold.
Kan hij niet zeen eigen show krijgen
Im shocked they found him in a bar
He has recently been busted again for drunk driving
i thought he went mining in the Mega Dredge.
Me too but its the Myrtle Irene that he featured on videos released over the last 12 months or so

Well when you put it like that…
Construct a barge with a 20foot x 20foot hole in the middle and use a drop bucket.
So the Mega Dredge didnt meet survey spec ?
Couldnt they have abrasive blasted and double plated the hull ?
Maybe too much work and stffing around when he would rather be mining.
Like he said, it would cost him 2 million to bring it up to spec, and get certified.
Buy a sand dredger suction type bang a wash plant on it boooom if I had the money I'd be up there
22 years plant operator i can drive it all tops bring me up ill work till I drop
To bad he scrapped the idea🤣🤣 He is no longer building this. The hull of the barge is to thin.
Thank you for summarizing this 3 minute long video.
Where is his dad?
be fun to watch when he gets 60 foot down
U can't go 60 ft woth an excavator! It becomes a weird crane at that point.
The camera in a plastic box
No luck needed just Sean 🇺🇸 PS and American know-how.p.s.and deep pockets 🤔
I'm gonna get rich or die trying 🥴
Sounds to me that dredge he said he'd build from scratch might be the end of the gold king ..

You are either old and showing signs of dementia or just a guy in need of a girlfriend.
Put a drag line on it....That'll go 60 feet.
Mount a camera and lights on your bucket!!
I'm not a believer!
