FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to loose ground mining devices, and can be used for deep alluvial deposits of hard mineral resources, and mainly coastal shelf deposits. Alluvial mining device includes a body with a suction connection pipe and with scouring atomisers connected with a discharge cavity. Body is made in the form of a tubular shell the height of which exceeds the distance from surface to rim rock, and lateral dimensions of the body do not exceed a double action radius of scouring atomisers. Body cross section is square-shaped, at that scouring atomisers are arranged on the sides of the square, and suction connection pipes are located at its angles. Body is equipped at least with one vibrator. Internal wall of the body is equipped with a device forming a force impact which is perpendicular to internal surface of the body; device is made in the form of a hollow torus-shaped shell attached to internal surface of the body and equipped with the device changing pressure in the shell cavity, mostly with a reversible hydraulic pump.

EFFECT: providing the possibility of removing loose materials, and maintaining a vertical position of the resulting cavity walls.
