[QUOTE="TheWolf, post: 369486, member: 6893"] AussieChris - water flow was ok, although I went out again on sunday and was struggling. I found a spot where the river was squeezed between some large bedrock and set it up there. I had to have a healthy flow to get the water to clear the material. I too am concerned about the height of the riffles. It is 10mm aluminium that I belted with a hammer to get an angle and reduce the height. When I dont have enough water flow it takes ages to clear through the sluice. It seems as though there are two main designs of sluice - fast flowing with big riffles, slow flowing with mostly matting with small discontinuities. Do I have that right? Most of my gold was caught in the first bit of ribbed matting, mostly due to lack of water flow. I think I can easily swap parts out to create a mostly matting style of sluice. The gaps at the side ... hmm. I need to sort those out... I love to Turon! So peaceful! [/QUOTE]
