Gold Dredge Dredging Dredges Gold Prospecting
The size of a gold dredge ( inch, 2 inch, etc.) is determined by the diameter of the suction hose the larger diameter the hose, the more material can be processed. A floating gold dredge is essentially a floating sluicebox that uses an engine and pump to create a vacuum and send gravel (hopefully goldbearing gravel!) into the sluice box suspended between the two pontoons.
