If you\'ve found a rich spot that is hard to access, this hand dredge is a great tool to have on hand. Gold can hide down in the deepest part of a crack or crevice or behind a boulder and often is best reached with a hand dredge, also called a \"sucker gun\" or \"suction gun.\" This gold prospecting tool is ideal for working below the water line when a motorized dredge cannot be used.
The XStream Hybrid Pro Hand Dredge represents years of development and is intended to enhance your gold prospecting experience. This model is designed to work creeks and streams and is totally submersible with the ability to replace the valve gasket in the field. The new valve is designed to eliminate clogging and spitting (forward flow) while still using tried and true leather cups. Gold-N-Sand valves are designed to allow maximum material movement and minimize clogs. The gaskets inside of every PRO valve is replaceable— making on site repairs a breeze. Leather cups are used because leather swells when wet to make a smooth and perfect seal— it\'s also self lubricating and healing. Nothing man-made compares!
Included with this hand dredge pump:
• 6 foot hose
• 2 gallon \"Quick View\" bucket and twist off \"Gamma Lid\"
• 3 specialty nozzles with extension: Sniper Nozzle with \"Rock Block\" reaches into cracks and crevices, Bulk Sand Nozzle is designed to quickly draw sand and 1/2 inch material, and Classifier Nozzle filters sticks and leaves and gets just the sand #8 and smaller
• Instructions
• Extra set of valve diaphragms
• Manufacturer warrantyThis hand pump is non-motorized and is ideal for use in areas where power equipment is prohibited.
The X-Stream Pro works equally well in creeks and streams or totally submersible. However, while diving conditions change dramatically, floating around instead of standing means the exit valve is hardly ever in the perfect position which is 12-O\'clock. The remedy for this situation is to make the valve adjustable. On your back, side, standing up or upside down, the pump can now work properly. Every exit valve has a white dot where the 12-O\'clock position is. Simply keep this dot pointing up at all times.
