[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 20329, member: 414"] Hi Tige and NIC103 One thing i am starting to think with my McKirk sluice is that i had been trying to run it too steep or with too much water flow early on because i thought i had to wash out [i]ALL of[/i] the small heavy gravels in the riffles I think perhaps its okay to have some gravels there because the gold will tend to replace it anyway , and i can pan the gravel and gold at cleanup stage . that is an error that i think lost me a bit of fine gold in my early attempts at using it good luck out there people :) [/QUOTE]
