Age has force me to sell this dredge. Currently am 68.5 years old and have concluded I must scale down. Therefore, I am selling my dredge.

6 INCH GOLD DREDGE FOR SALE

Over $7,000 put into this custom gold dredge in the last 2 years. This does not include hours of labor, but only parts and accessories. Dredge has been actively working this season on the Rogue River near Gold Hill and has recently been taken out of the water. Dredge is available for showing near Roy, Washington.

-ProMac water pumps
-10 gallon aluminum gas tank (no more filling up the tank every 2 to 2.5 hrs).

I must add a note to the previous ad. The dredge isn't as "pretty" as it is shown in the photo after a few month's dredging on the Rogue River. You must see it to appreciate it!

After some deliberation, I have decided to replace the 5.5 hp Honda engines with two 11 hp Honda engines and pumps. Necessary hoses jet with 3 inch logs etc.

Yeah it's beautiful. You ought to meet the owner/builder, Big Jim, a truely fine man.

I think this dredge will operate as a twin 4". 2 nozzles simultaniously gathering Rogue River nuggets.

2 guys @ $3,000 each. It's a remarkable deal.
