The X-Stream Hybrid Pro Hand dredge is 36 inches long before attaching any nozzle 8 inch extension is included giving you even more reach! This gold prospecting tool is ideal for working below the water line when a motorized dredge cannot be used. ![]() I have pulled up things from rivers such as sets of keys, small nuggets, even a 100 year old silver cross, fishing weights nails etc with a hand dredge.If you've found a rich spot that is hard to access, this hand dredge is a great tool to have on hand. Work in minimal water and since its done by hand there are no regs to worry about.Īlso, they dont need a trap to hold in rocks either, If you move quickly and keep pulling on your way up you lose NOTHING. ![]() the tube style dredges only weight a few pounds. if you want to go deeper, rake them out.īest part is.

If your going to remote locations and want to move material and dig deep I would recommend a 3inch hand pump dredge. ![]()
