Backpacker Nugget Sucker Hand Held Suction Dredge
Made by gold prospectors for gold prospectors, this hand operated gold dredge (sometimes called a gold sniper) is made of 2 inch PVC pipe The Ball-handle is made High Density plastic. The 3/4" x 8.5" nozzle is perfect for crevicing and sniping. Total length is about 30 inches. The vacuum chamber is 1.5" x 18" inches and the total weight of the unit is only 1.75 pounds. The non-motorized suction dredge makes it perfect for places where you cannot use motorized dredges (check local laws). Narrow nozzle allows you to get deep inside cracks in bedrock to get told that was previously out of reach. This is the smaller backpacker which is perfect for hiking in or stowing away.
Please note: If the nugget sucker loses suction or is too difficult to operate, you may need to tighten the wing nut inside the suction chamber. To do this, simply pull the suction nozzle off the unit and while holding the black knob attached to the end of the rod tightly with one hand, use your other hand or some long pliers to reach into the suction chamber and secure the wing nut. Then twist the black knob clockwise to tighten or loosen the nut to the desired tightness.

What does the DD & FC stand for in DD-FC Coils
On a Garrett Axiom metal detector, "DD" stands for "Double D," which refers to the design of the search coil, where two overlapping "D" shaped coils are used to transmit and receive signals, providing better performance in mineralized soil by effectively canceling out ground interference.Key points about DD coils:
- Improved ground balancing:The overlapping coil design helps to minimize the effects of ground minerals, allowing for more stable detection in challenging soil conditions.
- Centralized detection field:The positive detection area primarily occurs in the center of the coil, creating a focused search pattern.
- Better depth potential:Compared to a standard concentric coil, a DD coil can often detect targets at greater depths in mineralized soil.
On a Garrett Axiom metal detector, "FC" stands for "Focused Core," referring to a unique design feature in the search coil where the central part of the coil is concentrated to provide better detection of small targets, particularly in highly mineralized ground, while still maintaining the ground canceling capabilities of a standard Double D coil.Key points about FC coils:
- Improved small target detection:The focused core allows for better sensitivity to tiny objects like small gold nuggets.
- Double D design:Despite the focused core, the coil still utilizes the Double D coil pattern for effective ground cancellation.
- Ideal for prospecting:This feature makes FC coils particularly beneficial for gold prospecting where finding small nuggets is important.
