Thanks Astro. That makes sense. Seems like more of a relic, still. A rarityor collectible i guess you would say. If Tim didn't have this site, a lot of us may never have the chance to see or know about some of these things.
Tim and Mike, its an older model Gould Engineering Bazooka Dredge ( similar to a sub surface dredge from Keene). This design worked great for moving lots of material fast but it needed to be kept fairly level. In the new version, I believe Gould has fixed that problem by keeping the nozzle separate from the main body. This is what you use when you have 6 feet of sand to move out of the way to get down to bedrock.

I have never seen one of those before ...how well does it work?
I dont understand what it is/does. Looks like a bazooka dredge only instead of slotted sluice it has a fluid bed?
