It would probably have been easy for the owners to take this off the table due to fear of accicents. I appreciated that you were allowed inside the dredge to view all the internal machinery. If you like this sort of thing he's your man as he is a seasoned gold miner in AK. The moderator on the trip was a gentleman named Jack who discussed various mining techniques. Dredge 8 was constructed by Bethelehem Steel in PA and shipped in pieces by boat to San Francisco where it went by paddle wheeler and then train to its location. It is a monster of a machine buillt in a bygone industrial era. You can't readlly get a sense of scale from watching Tony Beets move his dredge up to the Yukon. If you are a fan of the TV series Gold Rush, then it is worth your time to visit the Dredge. ![]()
