After they scrape the bed rock,there seems to be material left behind .Their excavator buckets can't get it all.they move somewhere else to run more volume through their plant.what if they flood the cut with enough water to run a 8inch dredge. It would be interesting to know how much gold would...

Hi twapster,i will pm you so we don't highjack jamie's post.

Great advice twapster.Jamie your hungarian riffles might work great where you are, level with the mesh would be a starting point.the best advice might be build it however you like.if you spend time running gravel you will see that there is alot more to it than riffles.Water speed ,angle,type of...

http://youtu.be/KMnVQVQGUc8 Here's another vid if you can watch for 10 minutes .there are some good statistics towards the end.expanded thats pretty heavy with gold.but if you're half setup,finish it and test it and see. You might be happy with what you got.i hope i didn't make it to confusing...

http://youtu.be/-kp8Jgsluds Here is a link to a goldirocs highbanker a bit different down the bottom section with all the riffles.but the top section under the hopper runs a perforated punch plate with removable tray and vmatt and it works well.there are other vids that show the gold caught...

http://www.advancedminingequipment.com/PowerSluice.html I had one of these for a while unbelievably good.it can run for days without cleanup.i found most of the bigger gold was in the top section and fines in the first 150mm of the lower section.the top was at 33 degrees and still caught...

The slickplate area and angle also increase water/material velocity the longer the area the faster the material will move as it travels along.A slickplate won't catch gold.but if you have something there like in the banker pics above,just a piece of mesh it will catch some gold.but by having...

Hi jamie another alternative is to place a vmatt in the first 350mm.with 9mm or so expanded on top.this can be removed and checked periodically to see how you are going.not pimarily as a catchment area but to hold back the heavies a bit until the lighter material clears out.leaving less material...

I had about 3g of fines in a snuffer on the ground behind a log.went to do some panning,a couple of minutes later my 13yr old son comes over shows me a pan full of gold.i says that is amazing where did you get that.he says over near the log.i go to check ,my boy points out the spot with a...

Congratulations mate well done.

Hi goldtarget a bad day detecting is better than a good day at work.if you don't mind me asking.what sort of vlf did you use and what was the size of the coil.my boys use an old goldseeker 12000 with an 8 inch coil and they cleanout bullets and casings everywhere and the odd nail and tent peg.i...

Well now lucky streak.i think the line in the sand has been drawn.if you have no more replies to your posts.then i guess you will get the picture......eventually. If members don't like something a pm to site moderators would be better than posting hate posts and complaining about trolls as it's...

I have read them most give me a chuckle.but members should not complain about trolls if they are leaving hate comments.this was the best forum in Australia that's why everyone comes here.allsorts of people.the weird and wonderful aussie prospectors. And staying on topic again .i still haven't...

Maybe a link to explain what a forum/internet troll is would be good.as there seems to be guys on here that resemble the definition that i read.repeatedly posting hate posts would be a definition of a troll.i thought the post was about creek beds not how much a members upsets other members seems...
