Keene 5 inch Triple Sluice gold dredge manufactured by Keene Engineering USA. This is the ultimate dredge for catching fine gold and of course the heavier stuff. The dredge has been further modified to enhance its fine gold catching abilities.

Specifications:

Keene Power Jet with Header Box. Two 5 metre lengths Keene 5 inch Suction hose. One in good condition, the other not so hot but workable.

Keene 5 inch Swivel Suction head.

Motor: Honda GX340 11 HP ( Excellent Condition) Fitted with heat exchanger which provides ample hot water for two divers. Stock muffler unused included.

Compressor. 263 which runs at 80psi providing ample air for two divers. Comes with Keene steel reserve tank.

This dredge cost us $11,000 to import from the US some years back.

It is in good condition for its age. Reason for selling is that I am a little older now and have moved down to a lighter four inch dredge. This dredge is ready to go for someone who wants a production unit that will catch everything you throw at it.

It was termed as the deep diving unit by Keene and we have dredged at 25 feet with it. The motor has been well mantained, has good compression and burns no oil. It starts on the first pull everytime. Camlock fittings, and no tools are required to attach the plumbing as we have fitted custom clamps which are all hand use.

With gold currently at around $950 NZ per ounce now is the time to attack that leaner ground that was overlooked as it was not payable at $600NZ. If you have reasonable ground this dredge will pay for itself rather quickly . And if you have been spitting out the fines with a suitcase dredge, then spit no longer.
