2 proline highbanker/dredge combo using recycling water tank

One thing I do like about the Prolines over the Keene is I'm confident I can slide it down a mountain and not bend or break anything. The Keenes I've seen have a section that you can see your values quickly. The Proline is difficult to check values without modification as the miners moss runs the length of the box. One thing I do like about Keene dredges over Prolines is the scalper section. Proline and Keene sluices run differently so make sure you know how to correctly run your box and you should have any problems with either. Keene is an excellent company with excellent products as well and I know you will be happy with either. I chose proline for durability and I learned on a Proline and am used to them. I personally have always owned Proline but I have run a few Keene dredges as well. But I'm not sure if it matters as much just starting out like I am? But then I always think its better to just start with the best anyway, even if you have to save up a bit.Īny name brand dredge would be great, both have pros and cons and both have die hard fans. I've been leaning more towards the Proline 2.5'' or 3'' because of what I've read about the big difference in quality. I have a strategy for clean-up already so I'm good there. I do know that there's gold and I want to recover it though. I will be working by myself most of the time. I haven't had an opportunity to see one of them in action so I don't have a good comparison in my mind. I'm not sure if the 3'' will be too big for what I want to do or not.

I've been looking at Proline and Keene, at both the 2.5'' combos and the 3'' combos. There's a lot of highbanking potential as well, and I'm not sure yet whether I'll be doing more highbanking or dredging. I will be using it in a local stream that varies in depth from 1' to 3', with the odd hole here and there that can go down to 4' or 5' or more in the spring. I just can't decide on what size or brand I should get. I've been thinking of getting a dredge/highbanker combo for the last few years and I'm finally able to get one.
