[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 414653, member: 9124"] I believe when it comes down to a size issue, the 6" has its advantages. Finding a decent flow can often be tricky. A 6" would require lesser flow. Bit unsure what you mean about a 20ltr bucket. As in dumping it all at once or in total. My opion is if you have it set up right, the gold will work itself into the cells pushing any black sand out to make room for itself. In theory it should always win over black sand. Being new to river sluices, I would go the 6" , if you have a creek that has a great flow generally, yeah then you can go larger with that issue. Crevice hunting has a slow volume ratio, so a 6" is fine for this. And being lighter makes the temptation to explore much further on foot more so. Nothing wrong with up grading later on. And then if you have a friend who wants to tag along on a trip, they can use it. Small investment two have units in time. [/QUOTE]
