Randy's Dredge Sluice Box Vibrator Mod -- 16 Jan 2018

Hey everyone... Just enduring the High Kolorado winter, waiting for Spring to get to dredging again. Had a crazy idea about upping the fine to super fine flood gold recovery rate on both my Keene 2 1/2 and 4 inch suction dredges. Always wondered IF a vibrator mechanism on the box would help the gold get thru the insane amounts of black sand and deeper into the Vortex type matting for more recovery and less loss. So, I built a 12-volt, VIBCO DC-20 setup that will fit both dredges. Seems to vibrate pretty good. Only pulls 3 Amps. Can't wait for April to try it out!!! Randy "C-17A" :)
