Made it for my son but im going to test it out today for him.. :D
It has classifier a built in fluid bed and the foam at the end is for buoyancy ... for the areas where you have to create a little flow... ;)
I have used similar before...i got the idea again after watching gold fall out of my mates grabstake mckirk... im going to give it a thorough test ...dump it anywhere with flow and over feed it! I will let ya all know how it goes i feel pretty confident. :cool:
 
Looks the goods mate, I was going to make something small for the son also but wasnt sure if the length x width ratio stayed the same as say a walbanker .. so half the width half the length half the water flow .. let us know how it pans out ... see what I did there ;)

I reckon it works! I also collected and tested tailings to find nothing...! My 3year old daughter helped me today she was smashing material through it...catching gold isnt rocket science? Width angle ra ra ra...just give it somthing to fall in and it will do the rest....people lose gold from lack of common sense. I will get my 5year old to test it out... stay tuned! :D
 
Hay YS,
I was looking at those flexi downpipe thingies a Bunnies the other day and thinking that two joined together back to back could work.
What I'm really after is a 2m length of 100mm un-slotted agg pipe. If anyone knows of any please let me know as I don't want to spend $80 on a 10 meter roll.
