Moving sand underwater, does anyone have pics of equipment being used?

[loot and scoot]

Here is a picture of my setup. The whole system is on wheels so we can push rather than carry down to the water line. This helps when you need to go to a point that is away from a boat ramp or don't care to tow it for a distance.

Loot and scoot . That is a professional set-up . I like to see it when people spend just a little more time to do the things right and neet . Well done !!!! . Cornelius

Cornelius,

This is actually an older set up. My current version has dock floats (merco marine), electric start, larger motor and pump, etc. We had to excavate a plane crash where the plane went through six feet of water and eight feet of lake bottom. After three days, I realized I needed something with greater ability to excavate. Below is a picture of my team in Osceola County, Florida with the old dredge.

Loot & Scoot (love that name) how many horsepower is that motor?

 

[loot and scoot]

The first version was a used Keene engineering motor and pump (9hp). My current version has a 11HP which I like much better.

 

[Salvor6]

Sounds good! I just got the 11hp electric start engine with the P350 pump. Can't wait to try it out.

Here is some video of myself going down into the bottom 12+ ft using the Keene below some dive boards.

In your vid of the coin vac, why are you running the riffles backwards?

 

[coin_diver]

Not backwards, the standard coin and relic sluice had different style riffles, vertical. The new version no longer uses a sluice.
