Cleanup! The riffle plates are up and you can see the sluicebox. Shows the heavy construction of the dredge itself
"Incidentally, every ten days we had a cleanup on the dredge. And the biggest cleanup we ever had, to my knowledge, was a $32,000 cleanup.
It was done in 1938. We hit particularly good ground that year. 1550 ounces. Gold at that time was valued at $35 an ounce,
but the Berry gold was fine type, flour gold, and brought $27-28 an ounce."
