I'm about to purchase a 3" (6hp) highbanker/dredge .
I could really use a printable reference that describes the dredging laws here in Colorado. I don't want to take this thing where it is illegal to dredge and I'd also like to be able to prove (to BLM of Sherriff) that I'm not in violation while on-site and dredging. Please help if you can. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

I only used that dredge for one season, then sold it. It worked well and could move a fair amount of material but not what I would consider high production. I was never able to pack everything needed in one trip on the Keene backpack which was made for it. Usually 2-3 trips when you consider gas cans, lunch, hydration and everything else you take along prospecting for a day or more. With two people you could backpack it somewhere in one trip but pretty tough with just one pack.
