[QUOTE="SaintPaul, post: 576331, member: 19342"] I went out with my perspex creation and it seemed to work ok. The dirt would flow over the grate and the big rocks went over the top well enough but it did seem to trap alot of stuff in the compartment below and it filled very quickly. Perhaps I need to put a few more holes in the pipes to create more a swirl? to push more of the lighter stuff out (I currently only have 1 row of holes in each pipe) I was in a creek that had lots of fine gravel so whether it would be work better in a more sandy/muddy area I dont know. More experimentation needed I had no problem setting it up though you did generally need to use a foot, or a helper to help hold it in place in the current. Need to get a normal sluice now and some matting and try that also [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/19342/1601345001_20200928_145239_resized.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/19342/1601345001_20200928_145247_resized.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
