Hand Dredge - Gold Mining Equipment (Hand Dredge + Spare Cups, Valves)

Good tool. The bucket is rather small. I would have preferred if it came with a lid that could snap onto a 5-gal bucket. I made one which works great. Also, because the hose is (too) short, and the bucket is small and light, the possibility of pulling the bucket over, is real.The bad news is that the top cap (which is made to be removable) is too loose and just falls off anytime I pull the suction plunger even a little bit. The friction from the plunger rod pulls it off. A threaded cap would be nice but I understand that sand, debris, and repeated removal would cause it to eventually fail. I have to use electrical tape on the tube to make the cap fit more tightly.
