For any of you guys wanting to REALLY go after all that flour gold and gems in the Arkansas river you really should check out the quality product that my buddy Teddy builds out of his own little shop down in Canon City.
This is what I will be picking up next week from him along with a few slight modifications....... http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Inch-Extra-Big-...=item43c7bc7fbd ..... one of the mods that Teddy is going to do is make it so that this monster sluice's flare will unbolt so as to mount to my Jobe 2" dredge giving me a run of about ten feet ! That will catch the fine stuff !!
With the flare on we will still be able to use the sluice as a stand alone unit during the rest of the non-dredging season. Like I stated in my first post this whole set-up will be getting mounted to a custom rail stand that I am going to be building next that will be able to quickly attach and remove from the base unit that will be attached to an old beat-up ten foot John Boat that I picked up from a local salvage buddy of mine. This way the whole set-up wont be to heavy. When it is all done I will have my son help me post pics of it .
As a side note, I hope that I did not violate any rules by posting that link, I'm just excited that this is finally coming together and don't have any other pics yet.
So what do you think ? Anyone up for getting wet and grilling this summer !?
P.S.S. Next month we will become official club members, I just haven't had the extra money to do so until lately.
