The Keene Super Sucker A23 is a manually operated suction dredge designed to recover gravel, sand and gold-bearing material from underwater cracks and hard-to-reach bedrock crevices.
Its large hand-operated vacuum chamber creates powerful suction without requiring an engine, pump, battery or fuel. The narrow nozzle reaches into areas that are difficult to clean with a shovel or scoop, making the Super Sucker useful for gold sniping, crevicing and sampling promising deposits.

One Keene A23 Super Sucker hand-held suction dredge with nozzle and plunger assembly
Gold pan, bucket and other prospecting equipment are not included.
Place the nozzle near the gold-bearing material and pull the plunger to create suction. Recover the captured material into a bucket, classifier or gold pan for careful processing. Avoid forcing rocks larger than the nozzle opening into the unit.
Rinse the chamber, nozzle and plunger assembly thoroughly after each use. Remove trapped sand and small stones before storage because abrasive material can wear the internal seals and reduce suction performance. Inspect the plunger and seals regularly for damage.
Definitions and regulations for hand-operated suction devices vary by location. Always verify current local, state and federal prospecting rules before using this tool in a stream, river or other public waterway. Obtain permission before entering or prospecting on private property.

Excellent service thank you.
traps sand and peebles inside, cumbersome to use. either spend all time cleaning out properly, or the sands left inside will destroy the insides, should have been made for all materials to exit each pump, it is built to hold materials inside, even the gold should you suck some up.
This hand dredge worked excellent and allowed us to work areas we wouldn't normally be able to get to! It works extremely well once you get to know it. I really love the suction release feature, ( a hole near the top) that allows the material/suction to release without pushing the plunger all the way back out. I will say it took some getting used to to be able to use it well. The plunger can be tightened with a wing nut from the suction release hole in order to adjust the suction. The only thing that was a slight hassle was getting the nozzle off and back on. I had to use my rock hammer to tap the end off and really push it back on or it would pop off. It was easy enough to get off when everything is dry but in the thick of dredging and prospecting it definitely became tough, although once I got it figured out it worked excellent. One additional consideration is that miners moss may be used inside the nozzle to aid In catching any gold, although we did well without it. One last thing, when using the Dredge, if you orient the nozzle in the correct orientation the suction release hole will be easily visible. This will help to not lose material, due to the fact that if you pull the plunger up too high all of thr suction will release. Thanks High Plains and thanks Keene Engineering!
