[QUOTE="charlie123, post: 24526, member: 908"] thanks joe, basicly we used bunnings garden pot base wich was raised in the middle and didnt center the spinels so was like looking for needle in haystack, and we were a long way from the bridge so i decided to just quarter fill 2 buckets classified down to quarter inch, i may need to get more time at gym, my opinion is if your after sapphires pack yourself light with 2 seives, folding shovel, small crevesing tool and small hand shovel, test test test, then when good spot is found stay there throw the waste from all your 1/8 seives into bucket and at the end of the day take home couple of buckets with leftover from 1/8 seive, just in case there a little gold, pan it, i seem to get more tourmaline through panning than with sluice [/QUOTE]
