gat, have you had a chance to run this? im looking at the screen over the sluice to keep your bigger rocks off the sluice. must be nice tobe in a place that you could really use this big of a dredge.ill beat that helo charge to drop your dredge in will be steep! why couldnt you float down to the spot you want to dredge?? to many boulders to get by? man that would be a adventure all in it self floating down several miles of river or rapids! yea maybe the helo is the best idea! i can only imagine the walk/fall down to the claim! i bet fuel will also be a job getting it to the dredge!

Nice pics Denise & Gat, but no results from dredging that grassy yard? :D
