Here is a picture of the Snowstorn Dredge. It was used between Fairplay and Alma from 1941-1960's. It's the last intact gold dredge in Colorado, and maybe even the west. It processed roughly 600 tons of gravel an hour, and every 3-4 days almost 50 pounds of gold was cleaned out of its sluices. :o There are working on trying to restore it, and hopefully they will be sucessful. :D

Hey Denise! Would there be any chance of getting access to the dredge to shoot some video? I'd like to put one together for the website. I'd be willing to give rights to whoever owns it now.
