- Sniping and Production mode Mother Sucker Hand Suction Dredge for getting Gold from Rivers and Creeks.
/ askjeffwilliams
Today we decide to try out our new Hand Dredge on a small creek to test for Gold.
The unit we are using has to modes.....Sniping for testing the area and for hunting Bedrock cracks and Crevices and.........
Production Mode for pulling up large amounts of material to be fed into a vented 5 Gallon bucket.
* SPECIAL NOTE *
Mark the top of the discharge valve so as to keep the flapper valve ( Doggy Door ) up right and thus making it easier to seal.
On this model look for the word " Bur Cam " and there should be a # 1 to the side of it. Mark this with white out as this is the top of the Flapper Valve. Try to keep this mark up right at all times for better sealing.
We got our unit from Motherlode Prospecting Supplies.

For better results you can attach the discharge tube of the Mother Sucker to a 36 inch Prospector Bazooka Gold trap sluice and work it continuously all day......

Interesting tool.I have been using an old hand bilge pump from a boat for about 10 yrs. now. It looks almost identical. Limits the size of rocks it sucks up to >1/4". Got it at a garage sale for 2 bucks. Works great!
The absolute genius at work! Jeff should be a TV series. My favorite CZcams channel
thanks Mike
Agreed. Parker is quite boring next to Jeff.
Jeff you are the best , always make me smile whit your funny coments , God bless you and make you find the mother load because you are a very good person !!!

By far the most informative video on assembly and use of a hand dredge. Thank you
Thanks Gary
This should be an independant TV show with a massive budget
Like Wayne's World?
Make it happen then

I love that idea. I could he little Jeff bobble heads... c'mon let's go
Yes it should!!❤
You know, I didn't like this guy at first, but the more videos I watch he seems to be growing on me. "And yeah, you're gonna get wet!" Priceless. Thanks for the laugh. Keep making the good videos.
I'm glad to see you out in the creek again Jeff.
me too but a little cold with wet feet.
I hate the cold but when I'm looking for gold, it doesn't even bother me
Oh man I really really really like that hand dredge. Reminds me of one of my favorite drywall mud tools for finishing corners.
Hey please never stop doing this!!! Don't let any one tell you to stop cause I've been watching u for the longest time. Thanks for the Entertainment!!
That guy has lots of energy.
Great video and great sence of humor. Thanks! Max from the Netherlands.

Hi Jeff, I live in British Columbia about 100 miles north of Kelowna. I bought my mothersucker in 2015 and have found lots of tiny gold in the creeks around our hills. I find it easy to use and worth having. Great video.
sounds great Laszlo and yes we love it too.
Hey Jeff your awesome!!!! I really enjoy learning about all the geology and gold finding tips. You really do a great job on your videos. I laugh everytime I watch one. Thanks for sharing I will stay tuned in!!!! Your fan Mike in Nebraska.
Thanks Mike.....you betcha.
another great informative fun video. thanks guys keep it up
thanks Cory and you betcha.
Another cool video, thx CR
Dude, you are such a cool person, lol. Friendly as heck and a good role model.
I have to admit I chuckled at 7:13 Nice to see you didn't edit it out. Adding the "wah wahhhh" and making a joke about makes that much funnier, lol.
Ranger across your channel searching for gold; a real nugget of a channel you got here! I subscribed! Have a prosperous day....Prospector!
Thanks Glocked 17 ....really happy to hear you like our channel and we have so many videos for you to watch. Let us know what you think.
Ask Jeff Williams
I apreciate your response. My buddy who looks for gold in the Ca. central valley is wanting a metal detector which differentiates gold from other metals. He said you use one on your channel. Could you recommend a make and model for a quality unit. Randy is passionate about Gold in them there hills, so I told him to spend the extra $ for a proven detector. We value your expert advise. Have a terrific day, and I eagerly await your responce.
Hey Jeff, thanks.
you are fun to watch and you are informative. I cant wait till I can get back up to south pass and get some gold I found 4 years ago I got the fever a starting up again.
merry Christmas Jeff 😉
Love your video's. Thanks for all the information. 🥰❤
you betcha
I love it. I got one. There's a lot of "fly poop" up here in Alberta Canada.
Thanks Jeff!
you betcha
Following where the gold may have come from on the land, I have learned from you expressly
Good save JEFF my hat would have been floating ,those are the same leathers we use on the windmill to pull the water they last a long time in the well about a year . I glad you found a good use for Chanel locks ( my favorite tool NOT ha ha ) thanks again TANK
Hi Tank....you never know when a rock will decide to dump you in the river. Love those leather seals.
I really like watching your videos and yeah I'm gonna watch the next video 😁👍
My homemade pump/hand dredge has a tennis ball attached to a rope to prevent the gravel sliding out. I also don't use any cross bar on the end for preventing blockages - hasn't been an issue yet. Simple but works.
Thanks jeff
The sound is awesome! Seems like good gold for surface gravel. Lets see some sluicing on that site!
Hi John and thanks and we want to but just a long way to hike in.
I understand... only if bigger nuggets! lol Merry Christmas Jeff!
What about one of those lightweight homemade snail-sluices made out of cut home depot drain-pipe?
Hand dredges are pretty good!
Good vid, bub!
Jeff were you standing on a giant quartz rock? Good one never thought to attach a hand dredge to a Bazooka. YeeeeeeHaaaaa Jeff You Da Man!!!! Happy New Years!!!!
Brilliant, bicycle pumping out the gold.
😎👍 you ha e to love THAT..
Yeeeehaaaaawwww super vid folks well done I sure do love them sucker tubes that's the nearest thing to dredging that were allowed use over hear in Ireland and its the toy I find most of my nicer gold with
great video
love your videos
Nice demonstration. No power supply or bulky equipment either. Simple and effective. Hope you hit that mother load! :-)
Thanks Mike....glad you liked it and yes they are very easy to pack in and we do too my friend.
Hi Jeff awesome video. Nice Hand dredge if your having a hard time pulling it when the dredge is drawing the material in you need to drill two holes at the top that way when you pull the material in it won’t be so hard to pull I hope that helps you from getting so tired
So come on, lets go!
Realistic Fishing have these devices been banned from all rivers and streams in CA?
I don't know, I am into fishing in Tennessee.
Realistic Fishing sorry I don't know how my question ended up here.my apologies.hows the fishing in Tennessee and do trout inhabit your waters where you fish?
Ha ha, thats fine. The fishing is a little slow right now, but the panfish are biting. Yes we do have some trout around here, but they are stocked.
no shist!
Thanks for another great vid. You maybe could have mentioned how the flapper valves work for those that don't know. Keep up the great work. regards Bill from Australia.
you betcha and yes we should have mentioned that.the Flapper valve acts like a small doggy door and on the exit valve you should mark where the top of the rubber hinge is attached ( Top of the doggy door) so as to keep the top of the doggy door up and to help the flapper seal better. Thanks Bill
We added this info in the description box so everyone can see it.
That was cool.
great video I need to make one
Jeff I never knew you are a dedicated tree hugger. lol Cool tools!, enjoyed as always.
Best thing about my new Gold Cradle Rocker Box and I just realized it today because of the rain.... but unlike the Drywasher, I can run wet or dry material!! So c'mon, LET'S GO!
I enjoyed watching you fall in the creek LOL, and you're right, falling in the creek you're going to get wet LMMFAO!!!
You got that right!
Woo Jeff! You needs a bucket
Cool tool you got there bud
thanks.
Jeff Jeff !!!!!--Great !
Channel locks aka multigrips in Australia. I had no idea what you were talking about until i saw the tool lol
Jeff,
I truly enjoy your presentations on CZcams. I appreciate all the geological information, especially in a real life setting. In school, my instructor might as well have us sleeping pills... that's how horrible the instructor was. Thank you for your real life class educational situations that bring enjoyment into learning. HEY, tell SLIM to give you a bit more help ...those darn slackers!!!
Thanks and you betcha
I see somebody even tagged the rock out in the wilderness too, that just plain sucks,,, Another good video !!! A little tin of plumbers grease or silly cone grease would work too
3:49 I think I just saw a claim jumper. :D :D
That gold seems to make the same noise my phone does when it's too close to a mic.. maybe a new prospecting method :D
I can't get enough of you Jeff. Keep up the great work.
thanks
this so nice:) might get it
Hi Jeff, Thanks for today's video! It makes for great watching on a rainy Calif. morning. Nice snipping tool that can double as a water blaster too, ha ha ha. We need our fix of good friends and BBQ soon!!! We'll make plans. Take care my busy friend and say hi to the crew.
Glad you liked it Steve.....I know huh for those hot days but not that day as it was very cold up in the mountains.We do too.....so you know what I am gonna say huh....So C'mon...Let's Go !!!!!!
great video seems like ya found a good spot too.
Looking up hand dredge kits for an article. Dude looks manic at the beginning, not gonna lie. Yeek. He seems nice enough though. O_o. Thanks for explaining what I needed to know.
Nice!!!
essential for crevice hunting in CA.
This puppy could use an extra 6' hose attachment.
Keep on Keepin on Jeff, Lila, Nevada Jack, and Slim.
it looks like a good portable tool for snipenating for purty gold flakes
2:25 -- My reasoning for buying most stuff... whether i need it or not..lol
Awesome
Awesumness!
Got one coming UPS today, weather allows.
I made my own hand dredge works good but I like the trap on that great idea mine looks the same cost twenty $ for material
love your vids
Thanks
Your the man, Jeff !!...gotta include Slim some more..
Slims not out very much ,due to he gets cold in them creeks, real fast.
teflon tape would work on the threads as well as the grease. im going to have to buy one and the timing is perfect. found a seasonal stream that washes through the tailings of an old mine from pre-40s that may be a good spot
sounds great keep us posted on your finds.
Jeff that devise looks like it needs a longer hose other then that you are making some great videos keep them coming.
i first saw a hand dredge on vu-gus, and he called it a yabbie pump , although i thought they said gabbie , so i went looking for one. lol. my friend gave me one and first couple times no gold. i didnt like it then. gave up on it, then decided to try again. bam, got gold. so im sold on these pumps.they do work.thanks jeff.
yes they do
That's because in Australia they were originally used for sucking yabbies (a freshwater crustacean, think crawdad) out of their holes in the bottom of creeks, lakes etc
Hi Jeff.
Great vid as always.
Just as much work in editing the vid as recording it..!!!! A big cheer for the camera man or woman,, or was it Slim recording !!!!!
Regards Tony.!!!
Hi Tony and thanks and we have so much fun doing it .....and that would be Slim behind the camera.
another great video guys. what's something like that set ya back?
Thank u u got me thinking of get me some gold.
then you know what I am gonna say huh...So C'mon....Let's Go !!!
You rock
I done builded my own.
GREAT SHOW JEFF I GOT TO GIVE IT A 95 !!!!
