It is hardpack gravel but the HYDROFORCE just blows through it.They own most of the town of Chicken.

At the camp, they removed all the overburden and you can set up anywhere along their claims. Sample sample sample I also went to CHICKEN, Alaska this June, just got back, I cleared 3.5 OUNCES, $5000.00 one weeks work. There is still plenty of GOLD out there, and these newer systems are key in extracting it from the paydirt. The more you process the more GOLD you will get. Usually you would have to bring the bigger rocks over to the highbanker and hand wash. The great thing about the Dry Land Suction nozzle, ( The grey one in the pics ) you can clean the rocks and boulders in the hole without picking them up, until after you cleaned them. You will move more paydirt then any three guys with a shovel. I think its to much for this set up but I just trimmed the the flow down and WOW. The one pull Vanquard ( B&S ) engine is a powerhouse. I used the Hydroforce only, to suck down the piles of Paydirt. What an engine ! Plus its light enough to carry around I have used this unit for one week in Thermal City, North Carolina in May. The engine has about 50 hours on it Total. I have used this unit twice so far this year and I am now upgrading to a larger unit for my Oregon trip to the Rogue River.

Added 2' pressure hose for HydroForce, custom carpet that REALLY, REALLY works well. I have also added a 3' HydroForce dry land suction nozzle with all the hoses and foot valve. Taking Offers, must Sell, my 5' has arrived !! Keene has created a real powerhouse with this 3' highbanker/suction dredge combo unit.
