[QUOTE="garnethawkins, post: 16520, member: 540"] Built one of these today but didn't have any pvc pipe to make a silt remover, so instead grabbed another bucket and an old funnel and made a sort of "blue bowl" segment, once it was classified down i grabbed a stick and stirred up the water to create a whirl pool for about a minute or so, once it settled i panned what was in the blue bowl bucket and found what remained contained very little dirt and rubbish and an awful lot of black sand, no gold but not surprising considering i was testing it with my own tailing pile ;) anyway to be 100% sure it worked i proceeded to pan out the tailings from the test sample and ureka!no heavies in it at all :D just thought id share that bit thanks for the original idea!
