DESERDOG'S
ORIGINAL GOLD SUCKER HAND DREDGE

The 2 inch super gold sucker is a great tool for gold prospectors. It will move much more material than any of the bucket hand dredges on the market. And it is very simple to use. You just pull up on the handle, then at the end of the stroke, twist the gold sucker so that the 45 degree elbow points up. This keeps the material inside of the gold sucker. To empty the material, you just point the 45 degree elbow down. I use my 2 inch super gold sucker a lot when I am sluicing. I set up my sluices so that I can feed them directly with my 2 inch super gold sucker. If I am not carefull, and I go too fast, I can overload a standard sluice with the 2 inch super gold sucker. I cannot imagaine trying to move as much material with a bucket hand dredge! You would have to move like a maniac, and would be pulling off the lid from the bucket and putting it on contantly. Plus you would have to hand toss a lot more rocks. Any rock that your gold sucker or hand dredge will not pick up, yuo have to move by hand. The same ideas apply if you are panning too. The 2 inch super gold sucker will fill your gold pan quickly, with no bucket lid or check valves or flapper to mess with. And speaking of check valves or flapper valves, they do and will get jammed with rocks, This applies to off the shelf and home made check or flapper valves.
