 ONE CUSTOM MADE GOLD SUCKER & ONE 2 INCH SUPER SUCKER & ONE GRIZZLY GOLD PAN & ONE GOLD MISER SLUICE

 
 
 
 
 Hi. Thank you for visiting my prospecting store.  I have been a gold prospector since 1968, and I make a few prospecting tools for other prospectors.You can purchase  one custom made gold sucker, a 2 inch super sucker, a new grizzly gold pan and a new gold miser sluice for a great price. 
 
This is best deal you will find on Ebay for any prospector! 
For less than the price of some hand dredges on Ebay, you get 2 hand dredges, one 2 inch super sucker for moving bulk material and one custom made gold sucker for cleaning out cracks and crevices. Plus a grizzly gold pan, the fastest and easiest pan to develope a good concentrate with; and the gold miser sluice, which works great for cleaning out the fine gold from your black sand concentrates.
This is a real nugget of a deal, and one of the best deals you will find for prospecting on Ebay!
Here is an email  that one gold prospector  in Idaho sent me, and is used with his permission:
.. but I can sure use your super sucker!  I just wanted you to know.. that today I was out with my gold group on a gold claim we had leased for the weekend..  The river is low right now.. not even flowing in most places, and just a trickle in other spots - so finding a pool to pan in or a spot to dig down into the water table enough to run any kind of equipment was kind of difficult.  Well I wandered down the creek to a nice bend with some exposed bedrock and started to work my way down.  I dug down about a foot or more until  I couldn't reach anything, but all the same because I was starting to get into the 'water table'.  The last few shovels all had nice flakes in them so I knew that the gold was just falling off of this little shelf and back into this pocket that was all muddy now and impossible for me to get to... (but my shovel loads of muddy dirt proved my theory true!) soooo... I went to a nearby pool and filled a bucket with water, then I hauled it over to the hole I had dug and poured the water into it in a fashion so that it ran down the bedrock and would disturb the sediment as little as possible. - Then I went and grabbed your gold sucker.  It cleaned out that little hole so well, and did such an amazing job that I was just blown away... not to mention my friend, I pulled almost half an ounce out of just this little hole!!!  It picks it all up, the fines, the flakes, and the nuggets!! I am so impressed, so needless to say I'm really looking forward to getting a super sucker from you, and I'll take it out next weekend.  It was just like I imagined it 'could' be when I got all that gravel out of that hole, panned it, and saw soo much gold in the first pan.. I was kinda shocked.  It made me think 'why have I wasted so much time in the past?'  Great device my man, and with that, I'm off to paypal to make you a payment for the super sucker.. 
Thank you so much,
Sincerely-
Ryan
 
Here is a follow-up from the same gold prospector after he purchased a super sucker:
 
Dear deserdog,
Hello again! Thanks for making such great products. Its evident in how it works that its definately made by a prospector/for a prospector. And its a tool I wont go without anymore! I used your name in one of my most current listings.. item number 320152250401 if you wanted to check it out.. I hope you dont mind. I just think your tools rock, and if I can help get the word out about them - I certainly will!
Thanks again, I'm so pleased!

And here is another email sent to me by another gold prospector, and again used with his permission:
Hey there i just got the chance to try out the hand dredge i got from you on ebay. All i can say is that i feel like an idiot for not having one allready it is a wanderfull tool. I went to a gulch that i have been to before and only gotten small amounts of small gold I had limited time so i picked out one small crevice about 100 feet off the trail picked out bigger materal and put what what was easily hand scooped through screen then sucked out crevice with the hand dredge paned it all out about two pans worth and found more gold than i did all last season with sluice and shovel nice little pickers and pretty flakes      THANKS   MIKE(mikessexylady )

There is no better hand dredge on the market than the custom made gold sucker for quickly cleaning out cracks and crevices. The gold sucker is expertly hand-crafted, and custom built to fit each prospector. I build each one like I am going to use it. It is light weight and has a barrel diameter small enough so you can use it all day with out hand fatigue. It has the versatility of having 3 nozzles, so you can clean out many sizes of cracks and crevices. I have been a prospector since 1968, a lifetime GPAA member, and the gold sucker is one of my favorite pieces of gold prospecting equipment.  I have built and sold more than  1600  to satisfied gold prospectors across the country and around the world. The gold sucker comes with 3 nozzles, 1, 3/4 and 1/2 inch. With the assortment of crevicing tips, you can clean out those smaller cracks and crevices. You simply pull up on the plunger with your thumb over the vent hole, when you see the black line on the plunger you move the gold sucker over your container and take your thumb off of the vent hole. Then the material falls out of the gold sucker. Once  you get use to using the gold sucker, you will find than you will lose very little material.

The 2 inch super gold sucker tube has a barrel 30 inches long, and a 45 degree elbow on the end.  When you use the super gold sucker tube, the 45 degree angle keeps the material from falling out till you point the 45 degree elbow down. The super gold sucker excells in sucking up material from under boulders. Once you get used to using the super gold sucker, you can move larger amounts of material into you pan, bucket or sluice or use it to remove overburden on top of bedrock. In areas that do not allow motorized equipment, having a super gold sucker is the next best thing. I will use the super gold sucker to remove material from the top of bedrock, and then switch to a regular gold sucker to clean out the crevices in the bedrock.  The super sucker will move about the same amount of material as the 2 inch hand dredge.

Many prospectors have recovered gold using the gold sucker. One father and his 2 sons recovered an ounce during a weekend. Here is the feedback from this prospector:

Positive feedback rating Unreal! This thing paid for itself within the first hour! 25 Hrs for an OZ!
Buyer   licenseguy( 162Feedback score is 100 to 499)

  Another prospector paid for his gold sucker in 2 hours on the Klamath River.

Here is an email from another satisfied prospector who bought a combo:

Ray, sorry for the delay in giving feedback.  I wanted to use your products before responding.  I have not used the grizzly pan/sluice yet.  But, I did have the opportunity to use the gold sucker hand dredge on a previously-worked crevice that I had labored on for more than 8 hours.When I had originally worked the crevice, I could never get to the bottom of the crack.  Dirt and water would collapse upon my work area faster than I could scoop out the overburden.   With the gold sucker and 5 gallon bucket, I easily cleaned out the crack and retrieved more gold in one hour than the 8 hours spent the previous week.  I am excited about working similar areas, where I could never quite reach the bottoms of cracks and holes! 

You offer a quality product for the money.  With over 1000 gold suckers sold at 100% positive feedback, your products will make a lot of people happy, and a few people rich.  Thanks.

Once you have cleaned out a crevice,  with the grizzly gold pan you can quickly concentrate your material. The grizzly gold pan is one of the most popular items I sell, and for good reason! The grizzly gold pan is hands down the best pan for developing a good concentrate in the field. If you have never used a grizzly gold pan, you are in for a suprise! The grizzly gold pan will process material 5 to 10 times faster than a round pan. Then the gold miser sluice can be used for quick recovery of your gold from your black sand concentrates. The gold miser sluice is a unique pocket sluice that excells in recovery of fine gold. The zero radius at the bottom of each groove traps even the very fine, 100 mesh gold.

Here is an email from a couple of Michigan gold prospectors who bought grizzly gold pans and gold miser sluices from me, and is used with their permission.

Dear deserdog,
Great system just recieved today. We used it on black sands that had been panned, and we used a mini clean up on still got more with your system than with any of the others. Mi AU is fine flour gold that we have gotten so far. In just my short test I got over a penny weight of gold that had been missed by other systems.Can't wait to get out in the river with this one. Super Job! Will be getting more. Thanks again. Ann
P.S.My husband says it is one of the best recovery systems he has seen in the 30+ years of prospecting. Awsome job, keep up the good work. Feel free to use this in your auctions.We will be telling others of these products.GOD bless and have a wonderful day.John

 The gold sucker comes with an extra o-ring.The only thing that you will need is a can of silicon spray lubricant. Can not ship those.You want to make sure that the spray is oil free and that the spray is compatible with plastics and rubber.

You cannot go wrong with this deal. Why spend $60.00 and get 1 hand dredge, or $65.00 and get 1 hand dredge.  When for about the same price you  get 2 hand dredges, one for crevices and one for moving larger amounts of material, and a grizzly gold pan and a gold miser sluice. I have built and sold over 1600 hand dredges, to gold prospectors across the country and around the world.  And I have never had a negative feedback for a hand dredge, or had a gold prospector ask for a refund. All of this just shows that I make a quality gold prospecting tool. One that is affordable and easy to use. And a hand dredge that many gold prospectors have reported recovering gold with.

Check the feedback of the hand dredge makers, and you will find out which hand dredges work well in the field. If all the hand dredges worked equally well in the field, all the hand dredge makers should have received reports or feedback from gold prospectors about recovering gold with each hand dredge. But some hand dredges makers have not received such reports or feedback.  And the reason is that in theory, their hand dredge might work well. But in practice, in the field, they just do not perform well. And the reason is that it becomes a hassle to access the collected material. 

The gold sucker and the 2 inch hand dredge made in Maryland are two examples of hand dredges that work well in the field. The gold sucker's quick cycle time, from suctioning up material on one stroke to suctioning up material on the next stroke make it possible to collect a large amount of material in a short amount of time. And the 2 inch hand dredge's large bore make it possible to collect and access the material quickly.

 The expensive hand dredge with collection chamber looks good one paper, but in the field it does not perform as well as the 2 inch hand dredge mentioned above. Nor does it perform as well as the gold sucker. Either of the two above mentioned hand dredge will out perform the hand dredge with the collection chamber in the field. And the reason is that the small size of the nozzle, 1/2 inch, coupled with the fact that to access the collected material you have to open up the collection chamber just make it too slow and too much of a hassle. 

Both the 2 inch hand dredge and the gold sucker will also out perform the picker stick. The picker sticks 1/2 inch nozzle coupled with the fact that you have to dump the collected material out of the barrel make it too slow in the field. Despite the fact that it can pump water out of the handle. The 2 inch hand dredge will easily out perform it by virtue of its large nozzle size. And the gold sucker will easily out perform it because of the choice of nozzle sizes, 1, 3/4 and 1/2 inch; and the rapid cycle time.

The ideas discussed above should be kept in mind when reading the feedback and testimonials of the different hand dredge makers. Some hand dredge makers have performed self serving tests and videos; but still have no published reports from gold prospectors recovering gold with their units, and no feedback indicating gold being recoverd. All hand dredges either work or they don't, but  not all hand dredges work well in the field. And by reading the feedback and testemonials, you can find out which hand dredges work well in the field, and which ones don't.
