speaking of dredges, heres a neat shot from archives. A gold dredge working on the Ballarat F Grant in outside Barkerville BC.

In 1958 the dredge flipped and sank after williams creek over banked and flooded the pit it was working in. 2500 or more gold were lost as the dredge could not be recovered when the pit walls caved in, to date none of the gold has been recovered.
