![]() ![]() Plus, advances in technology allow a small surface gold dredge to be carried by a single person to a remote stream or river and profitably process gold-bearing material.Ī suction dredge used along the shoreline works like a large vacuum cleaner by sucking up underwater gold-bearing material like rocks, gravel, sand, and dirt and forcing it through a highbanker or power sluice that is capable of recovering very fine particles of gold. Sandy or gravel river banks contain large deposits of alluvial gold (loose pieces of gold or gold-bearing sand), and dredging is a great way to recover this gold. As a result of this improvement the color of the riffles will differ from the picture.Over the last 10 years or so, dredging has resurfaced as a popular form of gold mining (except in California where dredging is currently banned). * New! * Sluice box riffles have been recently further improved with a new zinc chromate finish providing even more durability. ![]() Upgrade possible: If you think you may want to use your Jobe high-banker as a surface dredge in the future, we recommend upgrading to a different gas powered Jobe high banker (model j6529) This unit will have a different hopper which will accept a dredge adapter kit. The sluice box also comes with an aluminum flare, not shown, which replaces the Power Sluice Header Box so that the sluice box can also be used as a standard stream sluice when desired. Includes 6 feet of 1 1/2 inch intake hose, an intake screen, 25 feet of 1 1/2 inch lay-flat discharge hose, and all the necessary fittings. The Jobe Power Sluice can also be set up with a recovery tub to make it into a recirculating gold recovery system. The pump and engine combination is strong and powerful yet weighs only 27 pounds and is mounted on a shock-resistant base plate with a carrying handle. Powered by a 2 1/2 horse power, 4-cycle, gasoline pump. The included adjustable 4 leg stand and the Power Sluice header box are attached to the sluice box. The JOBE Power Sluice is designed around the very popular 45 inch Yellow Jacket stream sluice. Note: this item has been replaced by the new Gold Buddy Magnum Power Sluice - model 7815. ![]()
