Anybody knows where I can buy small dredges for gold prospecting? Maybe names of some magazines about gold prospecting where I can find this information? Igor

Igor — Keene Engineering (818) 993-0411 is the largest manufacturer of gold dredges. A couple others that come to mind are Gold King (602) 278-1266 and American Gold Dredge Mfg. (208) 628-3932. Gold Prospector Magazine – PO Box 507, Bonsall, CA 92003 and Gold & Treasure Hunter – PO Box 47, Happy Camp, CA 96039 are two good magazines. If you tell me where you live, I may be able to find a Keen dealer near you. Hope this helps — Bill

Hi, Bill — Thank you for your help. I was just looking for address of Keene Engineering. I found in a book "How and Where to Prospect for Gold" by Verne H. Ballantyne a detailed description of the small dredge from Keene Eng. Co. but without any address. So, I really appreciate your help. I live in Chicago. It will be great if you find a Keen dealer near to Chicagoland. — Igor

Igor — The closest Keene dealer I can find is: Whites of the Great Lakes 6626 Monroe St Suite C Sylvania, OH 43560 (419) 885-7191 I doubt if they stock dredges but they probably can order them. I use a Keene highbanker which uses the same engine as their 2" dredge and I am very happy with it. — Bill

Hi, Igor– The April Lapidary Journal, which includes a products/services guide each year, this year lists only Research Unlimited, P.O. Box 448, Fremont, Nebraska 68025, phone (402) 721-8588. Steve Ryland of Cal-Gold, CompuServe [72345,366], can likely either sell you one or steer you to sellers. He should know the magazines you are after. –Doug

Hi, Doug — Thank you for help. I'll try your address. Also I recieved enough information from Bill to start with. It's a great pleasure to use the Science/Geology Forum. It's the best way to find answers on my questions. Thank you for support, Doug. — Igor
