Hey all, joined here since not much dredging info is shared anymore at the other forums. I have been running keene 4 and 5” submersible dredges for 20ish years now along with surface Keene, Proline, and homemade dredges etc.
Wanted to see what people are doing for better capture rates? So far I have made a fluid bed attachment for my 5” where I have caught anywhere from 5% - 20% more gold then the tiny sluice box. Now I am thinking of adding some type of classification screen the whole length of the sub so nothing bigger than 1/2” will take up space in the sluicebox. Has anyone here done any mods on these things, or played with running carpet vs miners moss or changing the riffles?
One of my better days running it this is all from the main little sluice:
