[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 11510, member: 147"] G'day Balx, From your vid the big standout is the lack of water speed to get the sluice functioning anywhere near effectively. A sluice has to run enough water speed to expose 50% of the trapping medium at all times. Miners Moss in particular needs enough water speed to have it continually cleared for the gold to settle within the mat, and your gold had no chance to even get to the miners moss. Having riffles filled to the surface will guarantee most of the gold will go over the end. In low flow areas you're much faster panning off your buckets with a speed pan or Supper Sluice, and this way you'll guarantee to retain 99% of that hard earned gold..... Nice looking creek your working there, and I'm sure with more water through your sluice the results will increase dramatically. Cheers Wal :) [/QUOTE]
