If you have found a rich spot that is difficult to access, this hand pump is a great tool to always have on hand. Gold can be hidden in the deepest part of a crack or crevice or behind a boulder and is often best reached with a hand pump, also known as a "Henderson pump". The X-Stream Hybrid Pro hand pump is 36 inches long before a nozzle is attached; an 8-inch extension is included to give you even more reach! This prospector is ideal for working below the waterline when a motorised dredge cannot be used.
The X-Stream Hybrid Pro is the result of years of development to enhance your prospecting experience. This model is designed to be used in streams and rivers or completely submerged, with the ability to replace the valve seal in the field. The patented valve system is designed to prevent clogging (forward flow) while still utilising the proven leather flaps. The leather cups are cut 1/16th of the diameter of the piston tube, allowing the cups to absorb water and swell to form a tight seal that is lubricated by the water itself. Included with this hand pump are:
- 6-foot hose
- 2-gallon "Quick View" bucket and twist-off "Gamma lid"
- Three special nozzles with extension
- instruction manual
- Manufacturer's warranty.
- 3 nozzles are included with the Gold-N-Sand X-Stream Hybrid Pro Handheld Vacuum Cleaner:
- Sniper Nozzle with "Rock Block" reaches cracks and crevices.
- Bulk Sand Nozzle- Designed to quickly pull sand and 1/2 inch material.
- Bedrock Nozzle- filters sticks and leaves and retrieves only #8 and smaller sand.
- The included 8-inch extension provides even more reach!
- The attachment point for the nozzles is 1.25 inches, but nozzle sizes vary from 1.25 to .75 inches.
