Gday all, I got the Eldorado 2 tier sluice last week, to mod to Hibanker, pump, pipe, bends and bits, put together all works great! (Sorry no photo cant figure it out.) :8
Well after 2 days running in a good gold creek I thought ide try my other sluice on the end to check my tailings!(A bit late I know) You could not imagine my horror to find at least 20 good size flake! 0.4g!
The heavy material has been going under mating and straight out under the carpet!! The carpet catches the uber fine but the big specks go under?
Worked one bank for day 1 then moved as the pickings were just very fine and only about 0.4g, and about 0.5 again at the next spot.
So I moved again up to a spot I know that gives up specks and small pickers, and added the extra sluice to see! Pulled 0.6 from HB and 0.4 from extra sluice 1g for a day aint to bad? I am half broken, and working hard is not me!
Angle and water flow is spot on! So it has to be??
Gota go over 2 days tailings!!
Some of you may have or have used this model? Did you have to upgrade/change stuff?? Its a great unit, but needs work straight outa the box or you may suffer the loss like me! 8.(
It need adjustable legs! Any info plz
Like, Wider expanded mesh? Miners moss? Door strip stuff to slot carpet in? V mat?
Thanks in advance, or just for reading my rant, im tired and stiff.
