hi all my fellow miners. I have a new sniping tool in the daily deals section. I hope you all take a look at it if you are into sniping. It works great and cuts down on the effort necessary to get good gold in your buckets. I have a special price for our members, and can deliver to california residents in the san jose to grass valley areas i travel up to do my mining weekly. all you need is a garden tractor battery and some weight to hold it on the bottom with you. it has a 30 foot cord and a switched 1100 gph pump. this is a really great tool to have in your tools.
Here are the rusults form one outing on the bear river. If you are looking for an Edge be sure to add this to your toolbox this year.

Wow! Very impressive numbers!!
I'm hoping to see a video of this in action soon...
Thanks for the reply...
In reply to terrance baker..... the rocker switch is filled with silicone. so it is waterproof i have been using mine for 2 years with no problem.... the hose is 10 ft long..... as it is the bucket will collapse with a stronger pump and 1100 gph is close to 20 gph as it is...... i run mine for 2 days without having to recharge the battery.... i am using a garden tractor battery just because it weighs less. you could use a regular deep cycle and get many more days out of it.
David,
I forgot to ask...Is that rocker switch waterproof?
Thanks again, Terry
Sniping is my favorite type of prospecting (and I have done them all).
This looks cool but I have a some of questions...(I think I am also missing something in understanding how this could have enough suction through what appears to be 10-12' of hose).
How long is the hose (you mentioned the power cord is 30' long )?
Have you tried a larger pump for even better suction...2000gph maybe?
How long will this work on a lawn tractor battery?
Can I get 8 hours of use out of it??
Shipping costs?
Thanks, Terry
thanks for the great question. the bucket has an 1100 gph pump mounted on the inside of the bucket pumping to the outside creating a vacuum inside the bucket which is the hose you see coming out the side of the bucket. the pump is controlled by a switch which extends down the vacuum hose. there is no trick to it with that much water leaving the bucket you get a strong suction on the hose the key is to keep the bucket completely submerged and free of air. I will be getting a video together as soon as the water warms up so you can see it in action.
Any video on this working? I must be missing partof the puzzle on how it works. Basic premis
