Hi.
Have you thought about saving money, sourcing motor/compressor/pump & gettin on of many to build you one for a 1/4 of the price?

That’s a great idea,if I had the time to build a dredge,test it and hope it works perfectly on the first go and actually catches gold like it should.
They aren’t rocket science really.

Cheers guys I’ll look into it.
If you are handy with your hands it shouldn’t be a problem. Just buy the specialised stuff like motor/pump, power jet or suction nozzle, hoses. If you want heat &/or air that is more again. You can make a heat exchanger, there are plans out there & air you will need a compressor but the rest you can shop around for. Float & frame there are choices. If you have heaps of dollars, sure, just go buy one off the shelf. Not that easy in NZ these days
What’s your experience with gold & dredging?

Ask Lachlan Westrupp. I think he builds the floats, frames, power jet/flare combo etc.
Ask Lachlan to build you one.
