Hand Dredge for Gold Mining - X-Stream Hybrid Pro Hand Dredge - SHIPS FREE
Gold can hide down in the deepest part of a crack or crevice or behind a boulder and often is best reached with a hand pump, also called a "sucker gun" or "suction gun." If you've found a rich spot that is hard to access, a hand dredge is what you need. This gold prospecting tool is ideal for working below the water line and since it is non-motorized, it can be used in areas where power equipment is prohibited. The XStream Hybrid Pro Hand Dredge has been used by thousands of miners (see separate listing https://www.ebay.com/itm/292236814502), and is now available in this build-it-yourself kit!
If you’re the do-it-yourself type, build your own X-Stream Hybrid Pro Hand Dredge and save $50+ compared to buying it already assembled (https://www.ebay.com/itm/292236814502). Since this is the most popular and well developed suction pump in the world, several essential features of the X-Stream are proprietary. Examples of this are the patented valve system that reduces clogging and allows the user to replace the diaphragm flappers (if needed). In addition, the leather cups are cut 1/16th less than the diameter of the plunger tube, which allows the cups to absorb water and swell to make a tight seal that is self-lubricated by the water. For these reasons and more, it would be impossible to build one without this DIY kit. The instructions in this kit also allow you to customize the length of your pump. Recent improvements have been made to the lid. Instead of connecting the ingress adapter to the center hole, it’s now attached to the outer hole. This results in better connection as well as improving control and balance of the bucket.
You will need basic carpentry tools, safety glasses, a place to work. You'll also need to go shopping at your local hardware store to get common items (see photo of items NOT included in this Kit that you will need to buy). Your Kit includes complete written step-by-step instructions of how to make this hand dredge using parts in this kit, plus items you will purchase on your own. No guessing!
