I know this is an old video but this is great content for Dredging advocacy. I've seen countless people say dredging is harnful to the environment. That is millions of miles from the truth. Keep up the great content and keep hiting home the point of the benefits of dredging and prospecting in general. There are forces out there that would like nothing more than to take our rights to enjoy our hobbies and passions of Gold prospecting. Thank you Brian for what you do. Im saving up for my own 4 inch dredge and hoping do buy it with the gold i recover from prospecting and paydirt. I have Diabetes and severe neuropathy in my legs and feet, so dredging will have a little less impact on my legs than sluicing does. Have a great day Brian.
Thanks so much, Shawn!
This is a great video,
Watching the dredge being assembled was a good visual! I wish we had more places to dredge out here in AZ.
I’d love to hang out with you guys and experience that one day!
That would be cool! There are a few places in AZ, Alex can show you
@@AmericanGoldProspectors I definitely want to try my hand at Prospecting while Alex is here ;)
I've never seen these dredge rigs before but I like them .
It's a lot of fun! Thanks for watching!
Idk how I missed these vids!! Ill be catching up on your older content lol
Thanks for watching, Partridge Family Prospecting!! Get that gold!!
Thank You for the safety tips and teaching me how to use a dredge properly. I do appreciate the video teaching how things work and proper safety. I enjoyed your video and hope to see more. Thank You.
Thanks for watching, Michael Simmons!! Get that gold!!
Great info thank you for your time showing us how they work
Thanks for watching!
wow. great first episode. I hope there will be plenty more to come. I wish we could do this is Australia. keep it up guys

I don't know about that "water detection" machines, but I have been in the mineral and water detection business for about 30 years now and so far I have tested a lot of machines, only to find they did not work and the money spent went down the drain. My water Dowsing is a hundred% accurate and I do it from a photograph off of Google earth images. Of course I find other things also, like precious-metals, graves, crude-oil. I can scan five to ten square miles from a Google Earth image in about a day and mark the water or mineral locations, large and small. I also discriminate the type of element, for example I can tell any one of the six platinum group metals apart from one another. And I can detect all of the stable elements on the chart of elements. I have done over 300 blind tests to this affect. I am not at all limited on depth detection. I did an oil deposit that was 6800 feet deep. Many of my blind teste were private people giving me permission to scan their houses and marking where their values were.
Nice, good to see the guy behind the 1/2 oz. "Martin Nugget" I believe he is coming to the Freedom Dig in Vermont, even though we can't dredge over there. Nice work, especially to see it filmed in areas we have worked.
Thanks for watching, Gold Adventures with Bobby Freedom!! Get that gold!!
Great video, I'm just getting into the hobby and can see the same progression occuring from pan, to sluice. My next step is probably highbanking though and then a dredge, only time will tell though. These vids need/deserve more views great work
Thanks for watching!
Oh man at about the 7min mark you look soo lit up compared to the background that you look like your superimposed in front of a different background. Trippy. Great video though. Gonna make one for myself... minus the breathing thing.
Thanks for watching, Brandon Gonzalez!! Get that gold!!
nice guys Bryan Wilder
Hell Ya! Thanks for watching!
Good job saving that gold from going to the sea! Cheers🍻🧉🍹
Thanks 👍
Glad you finally did some dredging..less fluff..more work!
Thanks for watching, Brent Smith!! Get that gold!!
Thank you for the good explonation AMP - Sir Mike
Thanks for watching!
Wow amazing you're living my dream.❤❤❤👍👍😉
It's a lot of fun! Thanks for watching!
We need to keep 300 to 400 feet between each dredge in South Carolina
No rules about that here
Awesome job man!! I honestly can't wait to see the next one! Amazing job!!!
+Jason Lemasurier Episode #2 is just a few weeks away! Thanks for watching!
American Gold Prospectors I have a question for you.I found some gold powder in a stream that was compacted into a triangle shape…When I squeezed it it agent back into a powder ,..Was that Gold?
No gold will not break up. If you stick it with a pen knife and it sticks to it it is gold, if it breaks it is not gold.
American Gold Prospectors Thanks , I don't feel so bad now!
Thank you
You got it!
Great intro. Very well explained. Good luck guys
Thanks for watching, Intuitive Detecting Wales!! Get that gold!!
Great video and New Hampshire has some beautiful scenery.
+John Allen Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I'm working on more episodes.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, Utah Gold!! Get that gold!!
Neat, I started in NH... was cool back east where you can go anywhere and claims are not a thing
Yes it's great! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!
Why does the heavy material stay behind the riffles? As the water goes over the riffles, a vortex is created. Like a wave breaking on the beach. You can actually see material moving upstream against the water flow. Also called a hydraulic jump. It's important that someone monitors the box. Large rocks can get stuck in the sluice box. That can affect the flow and wash particles of gold out. You have to be careful not to feed the suction hose to fast. Rocks can get lodged in the hose and stop the suction. It can be time consuming dislodging rocks from the hose.
Thanks for watching, forty two!! Get that gold!!
Thanks for the really nice video and it's a lot of fun
I wanted to know which angle should sluice box be positioned while dradging ?
I seen in some videos it look like horizontal and then in some video it look like on 45 degree angle 🤔
My second question again on the angle - is there different in sluice box angles when dradging vs sluice box that you put material with shovel 🤔
I would appreciate your email address to contact you And if I get some experience with you guys while prospecting
I live in London Borough regularly visiting USA. my family live there
Deeply appreciate your time
Sluice should be 1 inch drop per foot of box.
Thanks a lot im new subscriber thank you for very clear explanation can you make a video how the airpump works?is it operated ny other motor or electric power or is it operated also by the waterpump?i need your answer thanks a lot GOD BLESSED.
Its powered by the gas motor
Why would you need more than A 3” dredge? 2 inch is fine with a a 2/2” wire mesh welded to the intake?
Move more dirt, more gold!
I have shared ur channel on my local prospecting forum. hopefully a lot more people will come and check u out.
+Crowley's Prospecting Adventures C
Thanks for sharing. I hope the others will enjoy it. Someday I hope to prospect in Australia.
+American Gold Prospectors I have to agree with you its a shame we cant dredge however if we could dredge and remover all the garbage from the rivers n creeks at same time it would be beneficial .... that silt layer isnt helping the water life at all maybe we all need to protest and make it legal here mate ..I noticed all over bathurst lithgow and mudgee areas they have set up silt and rubbish traps in the gullies ... so its worth a try i guess ... organise a petition
cheers
Allot of views wow bryan
I know this is an old video but is that a 3 stage keene sluice box? Im saving up for a Keene 4 inch dredge with the 3 stage sluice.
No, its a single stage. Thanks so much for watching!
Trying to build my own dredge lol what is the name of the part your suction hose connects to that creates the suction to suck up the rocks/gold etc lol you called it a water jet I think at the beginning but if a person were to search for one on ebay what would it be called? And thanks to anyone that might have the info and good luck on all of your hunts.
It is a power jet. Go to Keene engineering .com to see them for sale. Thanks for watching!
@@AmericanGoldProspectors thank you for the reply love the videos I've learned alot because of you guys and I appreciate it more than you know lol. One more question and if you dont have the time to answer or just dont know it's ok lol. I live in north west Tennessee and have been wanting to do the gold stuff for years now and am just now at a place in my life where I can maybe do it but as a first timer where would you suggest I go for my first time as of right now I'm trying to decide between going somewhere around like where you guys are or the black hills in south Dakota if you have any advice or info I'd love to hear it.
@@kwking11 The best thing to do is join the Tenseness GPAA Club. It will put you in touch with other prospectors and then you can go out with a bunch of people. TN GPAA Club Alan Trotter • 865-748-9818

Pretty neat
Thanks for watching!
i'm still not getting it --- how does the rock get to the sluice box?
Suction like a vacuum cleaner
nice men saludos from baja california mexico
Thanks for watching!
Pretty good show, however the guys in the dredging scenes really needed weight belts. It is much more enjoyable and takes much less energy to lay down near the bottom and dredge than to expend so much energy trying to stay under water. Once you get past about 3 ft. depth you need a weight belt or vest. Also the best technique is to have one man on the nozzle and another as the the "rock man" who simply moves larger rocks into your previously dredged hole behind you.
Thanks for watching, John Leslie!! Get that gold!!
I really wish the state of California would lift the ban on dredging, these hippies think its hurting the fish not helping them....I had buddies of mine that were getting 100-200 ounces every season from some of the creeks and rivers over here, not to mention all the vials worth of mercury they were getting out of the creek that was left over from the gold rush in the 1800's!
That really sucks for the ban in cali. I really wanted to dredge there someday. They tried it here in NH last year but we fought in the courthouse and won believe or not.
yippy you fuckin hipppie
It's the oil and gasoline that is the real problem. One spilled drop of gasoline can affect 1/4 mile of stream. And it ain't the "hippies". It's people from the city and their politicians. Why should a small minority, with their noise and fumes, dominate recreational areas? It's not like they cultivated the good will of the general public. Confronting recreational panners, hogging campsites. That left them with no public support. I'm a recreational miner in California and I have no sympathy for them. I'd love the moratorium to end! Then my 40 acre placer claim on Indian creek in Plumas county would be worth twice what I paid for it.
find people that feel the same as you. band together. hire a good lawyer. file suits against the lawmakers. challenge the law as unconstitutional. take it to the US Supreme Court. I hear the new justices just fuckin love Diane Feinstein. it's not hard but it is expensive. most money wins.
I wonder on how much a dredger of that size cost nowadays?? I might try my luck on the LA River and get some gold teeth pickers!! If I get lucky I might get to suck up a gold Rolex!! 😹
Thanks for watching, sojc7!! Get that gold!!
Glad i have came across your channel.. Sh*t hot!! Keep up the good work!
@@AmericanGoldProspectors Thanks for the content.. Happy new year! 2019 is going to be my first dredging season.. I have a feeling it will be a good year! im in the middle of building a custom dredge.. What size do you prefer using for general dredging on good ground?
@@AmericanGoldProspectors Thanks, i am currently building a 6".. Running 2x Honda GX270 engines, prolines Hp500 pumps and keenes pontoons.
@@AmericanGoldProspectors That hot water heater is excellent.. I will see my friend GoldFever to see if he can make one for my 6". What experience do you have with hog mats for the dredge? i hear mixed reviews about them.. i like the idea of running Yukon mat up top under woven wire then a mixture of the new wave mat and talon mat with a bare yukon mat at the end.
@@AmericanGoldProspectors Thanks.. I will have to second think my sluice internals!
Thanks for watching, Gorilla Dredgers!! Get that gold!!
Oh MA.
Thanks for watching, Analytics805!! Get that gold!!
How much do a motor with air and waterpump Cost?
About $1200 Thanks for watching!
Where can i buy power jet I'm from Philippines?
Keene engineering Thanks for watching!
more please
+Prospector Joe I'm working on #3.
Can someone help me with a 2-in-1 Honda pump?
What do you need help with?
was informative, but need more underwater diving action
Yes, I agree.
Question? Don you need a permit to go gold hunting?
Every state has different rules. Some states you don't need a permit
What river, what state...
NH. Thanks for watching!
Where can you dredge?
This was in Bath NH
More like "Dredgers get the Gold diggers" 🤠
for sure!
really nice show sub
Thanks for watching!
Did you have to get special permits or licensing to hunt for gold
Only NH. It's only $50
How is it that the Department of Fish and Game are not flipping out on you for tearing up fish habitat and spawning grounds.
I've had wardens approach me while I was knee deep in water just turning rocks over, looking for a lost fishing lure.
So, how are they not stroking out over this activity???
I would love to go do this...but I can't imagine getting away with this in Maine or New Hampshire for more than a minute without some sort of Fish and Game violation.
There are some rivers that are closed to all activities and the rest are open to all people to pursue there hobbies not just fisherman. It is completely legal to dredge with a dredging permit on a non restricted river or stream. As with anything just follow the rules.
Rules for NH are here: des.nh.gov/organization/commissioner/pip/forms/wetlands/documents/recr_mineral_dredging_app.pdf
And for Maine www.mainelegislature.org/legis/bills/bills_126th/billtexts/HP080001.asp
Dredging if done any where near right does not hurt fishing or habitat. Dredging actually cleans the river. It removes gold AND lead, Mercury anything else heavy sitting on the bottom. It also cleans silt on the bottom. Fish prefer fine clean gravel bottom not silt.
Hi, I'm wondering if you can give me some info on what campground you stay at in NH.
Sorry a little late, but Twin River Campground
i notice they never say what rivers they prospect. i can only find swift river in Maine for gold.
Just make some prospecting friends and you'll be invited to many secret spots! It's not a good idea to say names of rivers online, lol.
of course not, would you post where your gold spot is?
also a lot of these shows are set ups, planted gold to make the show look good & to sell gold prospecting supplies
Dredging friends are hard to find
Thanks for watching!
Riffels are to close, should be at least 5 in. Screen is to fine at the front. Keene was never right. I spent 4 years building the best dredges in America, 5 & 8 in.
Thanks for the info!
I know within about 5-6 miles where they are but I’ll never tell
Thanks for watching!
What is name michine??
Keene 4 inch dredge
Mike, have you got Polish roots? (Orzeł = eagle)
Not sure, but thanks for watching!
