The Sumpter Valley Gold Dredge


 The Sumpter Valley Gold Dredge.

 An old safe.

 It is REALLY big.

 

 Teeth for the buckets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Inside the dredge.  This thing is BIG.

 Very big.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This was used to let the gold dust fall out of the mud and water slurry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 An old boat to get to the dredge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 A home-built air compressor.

 Screens to keep trash out of the dredge water intakes.

 

 

 

 

 From the older dredges that are now rotted away.

 

 

 A small smelter setup.

 

 

 

The train getting robbed again.  I sense a pattern developing.
