Gold King 2.5 dredge

[Sourdough Moe]

I found one of these cool dredges with the frame and innertube. the guy i bought it from said he used it twice maybe than put it away. when i bought it he said it did not run and it had the same fuel from the 80s in it. when I took apart and dumped the fuel it was brown in color. heres a pic of the old new toy!

Very nice.   I wish we had enough running water for on one.

Hey Moe,

  The Gold King units were some of my favorites back in my gold dredging days.   I used to know the original owners down in Buckeye, AZ.  I had everything from the 2.5" up to a 5".

That's pretty cool, sold mine when the terminator terminated dredging in California. 🤬
