- I had the opportunity to meet up with a veteran dredger named Ace. He was gracious enough to show me some tricks of the trade and share some of his knowledge with me. So we met up and took his 3" and my 2" Dredge down to Coker creek for an late winter dredging trip!
I love clips like this.. Things just unfold and all good happened :)
Wow! Dredging in Tennessee! Love it!
good video Jeff, looked like a nice area and some nice quartz rocks... Good luck this season and I hope the coker creek chapter and Tnn can come up with something good for all the dredgers down there... May you always have a flash in your pan...

Man. Thats one slick lightweight2" dredge. Low buck ingenuity...
Fantastico Complimenti per il video e la manifattura della gold dredge...Molto istruttivo.
Excellent design, much easier to use than dragging around two hoses.
Love you dredge design can you give details were to find info on building one - thanks much!
I love that small dredge! Looks like you can pretty much get that to fit onto an aluminum backpack frame. Where did you get it? Or if you made it, do you have a parts list? I need one.
Hey Jeff, really like your videos. I have a bigger dredge setup but also I have that same blue pump you are using on yours. I'm wanting a smaller dredge and thinking about building one. What size diameter pvc pipe are you using for your floats? How well do they hold up that blue pump from sinking? Thanks, Jon.
Nice job on the pontoons.
Love the dredge. Nice gold.
Just bought some property in Tennesse, would love to build a dredge like that.
olá Jeff muito bom seu projeto gostei muito vou tentar fazer aqui no Brasil
valeu mesmo muito obrigado abraços!!!
That looks like a great area for dredging.
Very nice video, and very nice gold
Love the video making a dredge something like this.
Love your set-up.Where could I find schematics for it?
최고입니다. 멋져요~
he just a woos lol great video wish we had gold like that here in missouri
With the rods going through each end, how did you seal the pvc pipes from leaking water into each tube??
Hey Jeff can you use a 2" tee to a 1" reducer for your suction?
great to add you to my search please make more ed from pa.
Arrrrr you guys ,fekin awesome video . Well in . I had the 2and the 3 inch .I have just got a 4 YEHAAAAA AND ARRRRRRGGGGG ☠👍👍👍👍⛏💙
Hey Jeff I'm in planning stages of a small dredge build. I was wondering if your pontoons were 6 inch? It looks to have plenty of floatation. My pump weighs 52 lbs and I'm a little worried. I was thinking about using elbows to continue the pontoons all the way around but I'm worried about the sluice and pump being up to high then. Any suggestions?
Cool little dredge. The jet looks pretty interesting. Is that a infinity jet on that?
Love watching your videos.........Maybe I will run into you sometime.......
I have that same small 2220 gph gas pump.. where do you have your foot valve at?
Nice video! Why don't you make a video on how did you build your dredge??
Where can I get the plans for that pvc dredge you are using
Would like to know where you got your dredge or how you built it!
Enjoyed your video. Thanks. Can you give me more info about where you got your dredge. Happy sluicing.
How's that working for ya with the venturi in backwards? Even if it was pointed in the rite direction it will blow the pipe out. The angle of the inlet on the venturi is 11 degrees and mounted near enough to the out-let that rocks do not hit the pipe. Find someone that can weld and build one out of zink plated steel.
hehe a running pan ! I once run after mine for about 100 meters ! :)
Jeff for future though always flush out you drawer into your bucket to make sure you don't lose any of your fines.
Did you use PVC pipes for your dredge floats?
How is 2014 going ? Nice little dredge.
this is a great ltttle dredge and you can find out more at poboydredge
What part of East Tennessee you from? I am from up on the Plateau in Crossville, been interested in going out and looking for some gold myself. Glad to see there are others out there doing it, gives me inspiration to go give it a try!
How long did were your dredging cycles?
id love to build one of these..could you explain it?
Im sorry, commented too early. How many grams were there in total? Thanks
How Far Back Into The Woods Are you Typically Hiking
Nice Gi ld cool video :)
Cool machine, not too big kinda what i had in mind.
Very nice dredge , did you build the suction nozzle and if so do you have a sketch of how it works ?
i just got a sluice and am thinking of making a small dredge kool like you vid
how do I make this same dredge
That's some nice gold.
Do you like this dredge? Works OK?
would you mind getting in touch with me I have some questions about your dredge. thanks
Name the music, it's great.
TFF 2 men in wetsuits on their bellies in a river in 2' of water great photography great video
Kalau sungai dengan kedalaman 2 meteran gimana cara nya?
Hey jeff this is a small inexpensive drege. I am looking on making one just like that “homemade”. Can u send me all the materials i need to make this drege
I really like that dredge design. I'm new to prospecting but very much a rockhound I would love to learn how to build that dredge.
Jeff...your pan is floating away....Your welcome LOL
Hello friend, greetings from Mexico. I am new to this beautiful hobby. And I wonder if he still has that beautiful dredge. of this video to sell it to me. it would be great. friend. Greetings from Guadalajara. see you soon
Is this guy are jeff williams brother.
Hi real like your clip how dud come by the dredge design I am looking to build dredge and I real like what I see with yours
you call that drainage ditch a river? really?,, cool little dredge tho
Hello, I want to have this product want to buy
отлично
Ha Ha now you tell me thanks for watching
No relation thank goodness that boy is crazy
Hi Jeff, I see we have the same passion, the prospecting.
I saw your project and found it ideal for my plans ... I live in Brazil and as you know there are rivers filled with gold, but mining is only released for companies.
Goataria help me by sharing the model you used to make this dredging if possible ... from now thank you! my whatsapp is 5562998410341
How muck ??
I don't like dredging. I can move 2 tons a dirt a day with a shovel and dredging seems to take so much longer.
joshthefootballgod no sir, not at all. like anything, the setup itself makes all the difference. but a dredge compared to shoveling is no comparison. the dredge will out perform you all day long. and on every level. i don't care how fit you are. with a shovel, you're gonna have pauses every few minutes. you're gonna be constantly resituating your gear every so often, as well. a dredger can jump in and go hog wild for several hours straight, without a pause. and even a modest 2 inch dredge will move a shovel of dirt, through its hose, every couple of seconds. but most of all is the knowledge of how gold deposits. which points out the advantages. gold forms very deep in the ground. the gold we get, came up with the mountains and various other geologic occurrences. hence why every gold mine on earth is either on or into a mountain or is a deep excavation mine. thus, ALL that gold errodes down, like everything else, into the surrounding areas. always moving towards the lowest point. I.E....riverbeds. which act like giant gold traps.
i would like to add, that all that is coming from a profitability and efficiency perspective. when it comes to recreational mining, the ideology changes things a bit. i enjoy traveling to various mines all over the world. and in those situations, i'm looking for "the one". a real nice picker, unique to that region, to add to my collection.
yep there goes your pan good bye
it must be a great amount of gold loss, with that short sluice..
+Wallace Gosset That appears to be a keene A52 to me. Not exactly short
Hey great video, check mine out I think you'll like it It's somewhat similar. Boom dredging for Gold in Utah. Let me know what ya think thank you.
