    In a tight spot.

    Well in the literal sense anyway... The little bro and myself took a day trip through the triangle at the start of the week. The intention was to find some sort of flow to test the river sluice out, alas no flow just puddles that we were soon to find out are FULL of leeches. So a change of...

Just interested to know what they might be, if they are sapphires i better look harder when im in that area again. The blue looks like it glows in the sunlight, the pink ones are...

    River sluice- internals

    Well, head first into this I suppose, I've just got a bit keen and had a bit of sheet folded up for a river sluice. Bearing in mind that most places I try and give it a run will be in the slower/mid flow scenarios I've folded a 1200 piece of sheet to have an opening of 350mm down to an exit of...

    Well, hello My names Matt. I'll start by saying I'm a gold novice, though my old man has been an amature in the game longer than I'm old and on a recent fishing trip I took him on he brought along a pan as he wanted to have a looksee...
