[QUOTE="MJB, post: 79146, member: 1222"] My understanding of the Dry washer principles is that the riffles have to be opposite than that of the water sluice riffles. The reason being the dry washer has no water and so no areas of lower water current for the gold to drop out behind the riffles. Your picture Gcause shows the right idea and the flow or top of the sluice would be to the left. In a dry washer yo want to catch the heavies in front of the riffles, not behind. Hope that helps out or makes sense. Cheers, Matt [/QUOTE]
