thankyou gene and keith! i saw keiths handywork in georgia last summer. he does fine work! the dredge will be a very nice thing to win at the rally! in georgia, my friend ed pollitte won the 2 inch keene dredge that leonard and wally kranz setup and used for the dredgeing class. ed was pumped up when i brought it home for him.

I can't beleive what a great job you guys are doing! There are a lot of grateful miners out here :D

That dredge in operation will undoubtedly show the newbies how minimal impact our way of life can be.

BIG Handshake

As this will be my first post here just thought I would say, wow what a nice site.
Geno thanks for calling, I think you kinda knew what the answer was going to be.
I will be at the rally and have hi hopes for making some new friends,and seeing some old ones. It is I who should thank everyone responsable for the hard work putting this together and giving me the chance to be a part of it.

Thanks again,
Keith

thanks for the generous donation keith, the world needs alot more good people like you in it... i just bought a dredge too.....

thanks once again, hope to see you at the rendevous...oops rally, grrrr i still like rendevous...lol

Where do you go to bid on the 2" dredge? :D

Go to the "Rocky Mountain Miners Rally". ;) :D
We are going to Raffle this one there. :)

dan will you have any raffel tickets for sale prior to the rally?or will they be only at the rally? and what if the winner isnt there to pick it up. can arraingments be made for shipping? or can another pick it up for him with prior arraingments with you? but i guess all of these questions are unnessessary because im going to win it and ill be there to pick it up!haha

i thought i was going to win it ^_^ whoever does will love it im sure, would be nice if it was "need not be presant to win" but it would be alot easier on you dan if the winner was there, one less thing to deal with, but its your choice

We would love to start the raffle now.......... :( but we are not a non profit organization.
We need to follow the Colorado raffle law, which means that a non profit organization
needs to hold the raffle. ^_^
We have contacted a few local organizations, so we will let you know as soon as we hear back from them.
If we can set it up to do so, we will sell raffle tickets before the rally. This is one of the things we are working on now. :)
As far as a "need not be presant to win", :D We will let you know as soon as we know.
I hope this helped a little till we know more. ^_^

As far as you winning it wyodust (Dan).... :P I was thinking that it would be nice to not have to carry the 3" combo . We will see now won't we. ;)

Denise

indeed we shall.....*shakes fist in air* ^_^ ;)

in all honesty if i dont win it i couldnt think of a more deserving and thoughtfull person than you to win it denise.... :( eeeew i just got that vomit taste in my mouth......

:o....... ......... :P :D
Thanks wyodust, your so sweet!! :D :D

Keith sent us a few pictures of the dredge!

Keith

thankyou keith!

Thank You Keith,
Your generousity and desire to allow others to learn is appreciated fully.

i wish everyone could see the amount of fine gold that keiths X-dredge was retaining! im impressed!!!!!

Pictures....Pictures......

I've heard good rumors about how great his dredges trap the fine gold, maybe on the next model he will have a custom built in Camera holder so the camera is always available.

Half the problem with getting dredging photos is your too busy dredging and forget to record your favorite pastime....

Way to go Keith, I'm positive the new owner has a permanent smile across his face at this very minute.

dave i was right next to the cleanup that gat was doing for everyone that used the dredge. i was in the info tent and was busier than all get out! but i did see peeks of the gold. i wish i could of gotten some pics of the gold.

Hi all I didnt get any pics at the rally, but here are a few from the last time I went out with the 2005 modle 4 inch PBD. I hope they post ok.
