[QUOTE="Gold miner, post: 7602, member: 262"] Hey Wal... Can I...do you mind?.... :) JML, A fluid bed is sort of what is called here a boiler box... I dont like the idea in the way I have seen them constructed. I think, the theory has massive merits, but have never seen a system where it actually works as it should!!! No Miner I know of up here uses one. However, that being said..... One miner, whom I worked for as an operator and clean up pig for a while used one.... I think it would have held hmmm 50 kgs of sand and gravel... All released thru the bottom into tubs, and tubs, and...you get it ....for clean up.. Only 40-50% on gold was in this 'boiler box'.. the rest was where you think it would be...the top few riffles... This fella had 10 psi jets at the bottom of his boiler box, and because he could sink his fingers into the sands, he thought it was working... Nah, simply the amount of sand/gravel; was gonna kill this box...the gold simply went over the top, and ended up in conventional riffles.. I wanna play with this idea, as said, it has merit... but to answer your question, nah, dont worry about it... You are so limited with your gear as it is... Just my opinion.... :) [/QUOTE]
