      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.

    Great video. A few questions if you don't mind 1) What suit is that red one? We got a full 7mm from AMDS in Anchorage but the hood is separate and we usually get a little damp in the chest. 2) Is that a full face mask or just regulator and googles? We added an air system this fall and going from snorkel to air I am really considering getting the full face. 3) How early/late did you run this year? Snow and water temps won't keep you out of the water?

  • @epicaramemodama
    @epicaramemodama 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Now that's proper gold for the time spent. I see other channels manually digging and panning gold themselves for a couple flakes of what you got, spending their entire day. Makes no sense to me, if I were them I would be doing exactly what you're doing, diving and dredging for gold. Great work :) Just guessing the amount you got in this haul payed off the dredge lol

      Dredge is around $8,000, dry suit, all accessories...probably around $10k to $11k, not counting the vehicle to haul it all. Then again, with a 3-ounce 1-day clean-out, you're looking at a 2-day 'Return on Investment', too...If you know the spot, then the equipment is worth it. If you only know of places with 2-gram per day clean-outs, most likely a loss in the long-run.

    The title of your video would have been more accurate if it had said "...RESULTS of the Clean Out". A couple of pictures showing the result of the clean out is hardly worth mentioning in the title. After highlighting "clean out" in the title, many viewers were likely expecting to see you performing the clean out procedure.

    • @MeleeMotors

      It's a three stage sluice box it needs faster flow to keep the big rocks from piling up. To much pile up will cause the riffles to clog, and therfore gold would be lost. This set up worked very well for us. Thanks for watching
